Hand Pump Inspection Logger (India Mark II/III)
Community hand pump checks — handle, head assembly, platform, drainage, water quality flags and downtime tracking; offline village survey log.
New hand pump inspection
Preventive maintenance visits quarterly under most state O&M norms; village-level visual checks monthly; repairs within 48 h is the service standard.
Field guide: Hand Pump Inspection Logger (India Mark II/III)
A hand pump is often a habitation's only safe water source, and its two killers are mechanical neglect and the puddle at its own base. The India Mark II's failure sequence is well documented — chain stretch, handle-axle wear, riser pipe corrosion — and the platform-and-drainage findings matter just as much: ponded water around the stand seeps down the casing carrying exactly the contamination the pump exists to avoid, and the 'latrine within 10 m' finding is the classic sanitary-survey violation behind diarrheal clusters.
Downtime is the metric that runs the program: the 48-hour repair standard most states adopt is only auditable if breakdowns get dated, and 'days down' per pump per habitation is how block-level mechanics get held to it. Quality flags route differently — turbidity after rain and nearby pollution sources are sanitary findings; arsenic/fluoride status is a lab-test currency check in mapped-risk districts under JJM-era surveillance.
Field tips
- Count strokes to water on every visit — a rising count is riser-pipe or cylinder wear announcing itself months early.
- Look at the apron's edge, not its center: undercutting starts there, and a tilting platform follows the next monsoon.
- Log women water-collectors' observations verbatim; they operate the pump daily and predict failures better than any checklist.

Frequently asked questions
What is VLOM and why does pump type matter?+
Village Level Operation and Maintenance — the design philosophy behind India Mark III and Afridev: above-ground access to wearing parts so trained village mechanics can do most repairs without a block-level rig team. Logging pump type tells the program which repairs are local and which need the mobile unit, directly affecting downtime.
What does a sanitary survey around a hand pump check?+
Pollution pathways within protective distances: latrines/soak pits within 10 m, drains and ponding at the stand, cattle areas, garbage, and platform integrity. Each is scored as a risk point. The pump can pass every mechanical check and still deliver unsafe water if the surroundings fail — hence the dedicated panel here.
How are arsenic and fluoride handled?+
They're geogenic — invisible, tasteless, lab-confirmed only. In mapped districts, sources need periodic lab testing (FTKs screen some parameters; arsenic/fluoride need proper analysis). 'Lab test current?' is the field-level check: a pump in an arsenic block with no recent test is a water-quality finding regardless of how it looks.
Why track days-down so strictly?+
Because the alternative source during downtime is usually an unsafe one — the pond or open well the pump replaced. Health impact scales with downtime, not breakdown count. Dated breakdown/repair logs per pump are also how O&M contracts and mechanic performance are actually enforced at block level.
