Revision history [back]

While I saw several India MKII pumps in Cameroon in August, many African governments have standardized their allowable models of pumps to improve supply chain for repair and replacement parts. So first confirm what model pumps are currently approved by the national or regional government for the area you plan to work.

Then it is easy to search for the pump manufacturer's installation manuals as PDF files out on the web. But first find out what type of pump is allowed and what type of pump is suitable for the depth of water and pH of the water in that area. Nowhere needs more pumps that aren't suitable for the water pH or locally supportable by the supply chain. They just fail and block access to water in an expensive borehole.
