Which India Mark 2 spare parts wear out first?
Most India Mark 2 repairs happen down the borehole, in the cylinder. The rubber parts wear first: the two nitrile buckets (cup washers) on the plunger, the rubber seatings of the upper valve and the check valve, and the sealing rings at the two ends of the cylinder. When these wear, the pump needs more strokes to deliver water, or it loses its prime and the water drains back between uses.
At the pump head, the handle axle bearings and the chain wear with use. A small stock of buckets, rubber seatings, sealing rings, bearings and a chain covers most repairs. For a step-by-step guide to replacing the cylinder parts, see How to repair India Mark 2 downhole components.

India Mark 2 spare parts for corrosive water
The standard India Mark 2, with galvanized rods and riser pipes and a cast iron cylinder, is not meant for aggressive water (pH below 6.5). In such water the galvanized parts rust, and rust gets into the drinking water. For these boreholes we supply corrosion-resistant parts:
- SS 304 cylinder assembly, stainless steel connecting rods and stainless steel riser pipes
- PVC riser pipes with square threads
- PVC riser pipes with stainless steel couplings

India Mark 2 spare parts questions

Nitrile buckets, rubber seatings (large and small), cylinder sealing rings, handle bearings and a chain. These are the parts that wear most.
