Ghana Modified India Mark II

Description:

The Ghana Modified India Mark II handpump was developed as a response to the problem of rapidly corroding handpumps installed in aggressive groundwaters.

The modifications include the use of stainless steel riser pipe and stainless steel pump rods, as well as the use of a stainless steel flange at the water tank, installed with an insulating gasket to prevent galvanic corrosion. This type of corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals are in contact in solution.
