India MkII pump info

The history of the India MkII and current debate over the best pumps for rural communities is really interesting...

The India MkII is the only extra deep (up to 95 meters) hand pump on the market.

The India MkIII includes the VLOM (Village Level Operation and Maintenance) but like most hand pumps is only rated up to 50 meters.

VLOM pumps are definitely a step forward, but not without their critics and problems
