India mark III hand pump- Easy and hassle free installation



The design of the India mark III hand pump is quite intricate and worth admiring. To ease the hassles of the user, the manufacturer has included an open top cylinder that ensures an easy servicing. Apart from this, the faulty cylinder components can be replaced without actually moving the pipes that are included in the interior design. This VLOM pump reduces the troubles involved in the use of heavy tools and hiring skilled professionals for any repair. This also helps in saving the time and money of the user. All the breakdowns can be repaired using local tools that do not require any heavy maintenance at all times. 


 The configurations and the manufacturing details of this pump are similar to the previous India Mark II pump. The down-hole components that were causing trouble in the previous version have been cut down in this version of the pump. This was done to make it comply with the maintenance of the pump in the village level. 

The major improvement that was introduced into the pump is the open top cylinder that makes it possible for a person to remove the plunger for inspection. Another important thing is that the foot valve can be dismantled from the cylinder without troubling the rest of the assembly inside the pump. The cylinders of this pump are available in two sizes- 50 mm and 62.5 mm. 


As the cylinder can be repaired using simple tools, even the trained women can undertake necessary repairs when in need. This is primarily why; the pump is named as the Village Level Operation, Maintenance (VLOM) pump. The India Mark III pump has outstanding features and the features become more intricate with the type of pump that is designed by the manufacturer.
50 mm OTC VLOM Pump: This type of pump has been designed to use for small diameters and depths of the well. The pump can be used with plastic as well as galvanized iron pipes. The installation and the depth at which they can be fitted will vary as per the material of the pipe.
