Water Bushers

Scope
Justification
After considering the literature Review and background research the Queensland government
and the Cairns Regional council have committed many projects on water saving and distribution.
There are many inventions that are created to harvest rain water and to distribute water or to
water the plants. But there are some major problems and weaknesses such as rusting, not durable,
not working properly. Also, there are no permanent pump. Finding answers to these problems
can improve the efficiency and improve the efficiency of related projects.

Product scope description

The main problem of existing DIY pumps is water wastage also those are can’t repair easily.
Also, existing products are not very durable and the water pressure is low.
In our product we have designed a over flow water collecting chamber to collet water and water
will be return to main tank. We also include a Part to adjust the second valve.
Part of ram pump Available / Have to Time involved in System integration

components
Ground mount Available
Inlet valve Available
Cylindrical core Have to develop
Outlet valve Available 7 – 8 weeks 9 – 10 weeks
Overflow tank Have to develop
Pull button for overflow Have to develop
valve
One-way valves Have to develop

Acceptance criteria
• Since this pump is use to pump collected water from rain and we have to reduce the
wastage of water. Therefore, we the pump should include a overflow water collecting
tank
• Also, the water pressure can adjuster should fix to the second valve
• The pump is slightly light weight that can move and connect to a water inlet easily
Deliverables
• Overflow tank: Reducing the water wastage because the water is collected from rain and
have to use efficiently.
• Valve adjuster: Can sync two valves easily on any place.
• Light weight: Pump is light weight and durable as it can be moved easily.

Project Exclusions
Designing a permanent, more efficient, eco-friendly and user-friendly Ram pump that can move
easily and fix to desired locations.

Constraints
We have to prototype all the parts one by one to design and assemble the Whole ram pump as we
are using aluminum as the material of body and copper as the material of the valves. But some
parts will be very expensive therefore we have to change the material of some parts.

Assumptions
• Not suitable to use in very muddy places.
• Instantly have to close the inlet valve after use if not the pump will be heated and cause
some water leaks.
