The India Mark III VLOM deep well hand pump design uses an open top cylinder, which allows servicing and replacing the cylinder components with out taking out riser pipes from a bore well. Use of the VLOM pump thus reduces requirement of heavy tools, skilled hands and time required for break down repair.

 

The India Mark III has similar configurations as the India Mark II, only the “down-hole components” were changed in order to improve the village level maintenance.The most important improvement is the “open top cylinder”, which makes it possible to remove the plunger and also the foot valve without lifting the cylinder and the entire rising main (65 GI pipe). Cylinders are available in 50 mm and 62.5 mm.  

 

Since the cylinder can be serviced using simple tools, users including women can be trained for the repairs. Hence the pump is named as Village level Operation maintenance Pump.
