With years of experience in handpumps, Balaji Industrial & Agricultural Castings now brings you the Balaji Direct Action Pump (TARA) under the guidance of UNICEF.

Tara has all VLOM (Village Level Operation & Maintenance) features, suitable for drawing water from low to medium lifts (up to 15 meters). Having proper bore-sealing and without the need of priming (as required in the case of suction pumps), this pump eliminates the possibility of contamination of tubewell water and delivers the ground water that is stored in underground geological formations, which has been found to be biologically safe for human consumption. TARA is suitable for more aggressive soil and water as the below ground components are made of µPVC, thermo-plastic mouldings and stainless steel. This Direct Action Hand Pump is a fine example of excellent workmanship and high standards of quality. That is the hallmark of BIAC.

SALIENT FEATURES:

• The Tara pump conforms to the VLOM concept.
• T-Bar handles at the top of the pump rod for easy operation.
