The LS-200 is presently being used in countries around the world to expedite relief efforts and provide clean drinking water in drought stricken areas. Because of its unique design and simple parts, the LS-200 has many advantages including that it:

• is inexpensive
• weighs 1800 lbs and can be easily taken apart and carried or transported by pick-up truck, trailer or animals to areas inaccessible to larger rigs.
• is capable of being assembled in minutes
  
• is easy to maintain
  
• can be operated by 1 person with minimal Training.
  

Key Components of the LS-200 include:

• drill frame with drilling table and stabilizer bars: acts as structural support for drilling equipment
• power head: the drill pipe (2.00 inch dia.) and drill bit are rotated by a 5-HP Gas or 4.5-HP Diesel engine with a 25:1 gear reduction transmission and a centrifugal clutch.
• water entry swivel: used to channel drilling fluid down the rotating drill pipe
• drill pipe: hollow, strengthened steel pipe that channels drilling mud down to the bit.
• drill bit: the cutting tool attached to the end of the drill pipe that allows the drill to bore a hole through soil and rock.

Also needed is a mud pump (5-HP Gas or 4.5-HP Diesel engine which drives a 2-inch Monarch Mud pump) to circulate mud down the drill bit and back up to mud pits. Without this separate piece of equipment, the drill rig cannot be used for conventional "Mud Rotary" drilling.
