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.
65 mm OTC VLOM Pump: This type of India mark III hand pump for the well
depth of 65 mm and can be used with the pipes that are made out of plastic or
galvanized iron.
VLOM Deep well Hand Pump: This type helps
in changing the cylinder components without dismantling the entire assembly of
pumps. It also facilitates changing the assembly of foot valve without
disturbing the cylinder.
