The India Mark II hand pump is a strong conventional pump that has an action hand
lever attached to it. It is used for drawing water from deep wells and serving
various communities that have a large number of people. The maximum lift of the
pump is 50 meters. This pump is defined as per the Indian Standards and is
suitable to use in the public domain. The material is not resistant to
corrosion. However, the installation process may require technical guidance and
maintenance from time to time. This is why; it is not considered to be a
village level operation and maintenance pump. Various standardized
manufacturing details come with the pump and can be used for suitable depth of
the well. The deep well pumps of this type often demand the use of high quality
tools that will be used for installing them.
The main parts of the pump involve:
·
Pump
head
·
Pump
stand
·
Handle
made with galvanized steel
The other components that are used in the
pump consist of a cylinder that is made with cast iron and lined using brass
for maintaining the temperature. The plunger is guarded with a seal that is
made out of rubber. The pump rods and the pipes are connected using thread
connectors. Since, this pump is not resistant to corrosion, it should not be
used in the areas where there is a huge flow of water and the pH level is above
6.5. All the parts that are seen above the ground will can be repaired with the
help of local repairers while the parts that are placed below the ground, may
demand a reliable quality control. Only after they are maintained regularly,
the longevity of the pump will be increased and it can be used for a long time
as well. The cost of tooling is quite expensive; therefore, the manufacturers
will arrange only limited production of this pump.
When the India Mark II hand pump will be used in the area where the water is
quite aggressive, the pump material may be subjected to pitting and it may even
affect the interior parts. Therefore, it is necessary to install them as per
the guidelines that are provided by the manufacturer. With a thorough and
meticulous care as well as maintenance, the pump can be used without any
hassles. Moreover, you can also save the cost for timely repairs.
