Overview of the submersible pump "Kid": unit diagram, characteristics, operating rules

Do you need a stabilizer

The stabilizer for the Baby pump may not be included in the basic kit, but still it is worth buying

After all, the fewer voltage drops the pump can withstand, which often occur during thunderstorms in the private sector, the longer it can last:

• Pumps, especially those that run from a conventional outlet, are very sensitive to voltage drops, and the Kid is far from an exception.
• There are also cases when the voltage in the electrical network drops for one reason or another.
• As laboratory studies have shown, with a slightly lower voltage than 190 V, the pump will not be able to pump water.

In general, all stabilizers are divided into three types:

• Relay.
• Electromechanical.
• Thyristor.

The principle of operation and the basics of repair

Vibrating pumps kid top fence work on the basis of the properties of electro-magnetic oscillations

The design of the Baby pump includes a float valve that drives the membrane, which sucks in water:

• The instruction for this device for pumping water states that an automatic system is built into it, which protects against overheating by a simple shutdown.
• It is best to buy a pump for yourself with an upper water intake, because in this case the engine is located below and is cooled by the proximity of cold water.

In addition, if the suction hole is located exactly on top, then the pump does not draw precipitation and sludge into itself. And how the repair is carried out is described in detail in the video in this article.

Some Tips

Bottom suction pumps are cheaper, but they need to be constantly monitored, as they can suck sediment from the bottom, overheat and break. Here they must be supplied with a good filter.

So:

• Of course, when choosing a pump, it is better to give preference to a model with thermal protection, which will protect the engine from overheating.
• If the warranty period of the pump you have purchased has not yet expired, then do not be lazy and take it to a service center, as the specialists, in addition to replacing worn parts, will carry out a complete diagnosis and give a guarantee for new parts.
• If the warranty period has expired, then you are quite able to replace the emaciated valves yourself. Properly selected mode and power can save equipment from premature breakdowns and overheating.

The hydraulic accumulator for the Baby pump, the diagram of which is shown in the photo, is needed to maintain a stable pressure in the water supply.

It also helps to reduce the number of pump starts and dampens water hammer in the system.

If you suddenly lose electricity, then thanks to this tank you will still have some supply of water in the house. In the photo in this article you can see in detail the installation procedure for the "Kid" pump.

How to connect

The pump must be submerged to a sufficient depth, otherwise air will enter the system

Pumps "Kid" must be installed according to the instructions, otherwise the service life of the equipment will be significantly reduced.

Even before installation, it is worth doing some preparatory work:

• Calculate how deep the pump should be.
• Purchase a hose of the correct length and diameter.

Let's take a closer look:

• A lot depends on the hose: the performance of the pump, the load, and the pressure in the system.
• When using a pump with a bottom intake, you must position the hose half a meter from the bottom of the well. And if the water intake is upper, then it can be lowered to the very bottom.
• Your assistant when lowering can be a nylon cord or a steel cable.

Do not forget to purchase an additional filter, unless, of course, it was included in the kit.As a rule, the filter looks like a cylindrical gasket, which is made up of porous materials.

Reviews indicate that this gasket is enough to protect the pump from large particles.

How the pump works

The kid (in fact, like any other vibration-type unit) functions according to an inert principle - in other words, there is a special vibrator inside the pump that gives the water oscillatory movements. The vibrator itself is made in the form of an anchor with a rod attached to it. After turning on the equipment, the armature is attracted to the magnet, after which the latter is turned off, and it (the armature) returns together with the rod to its original position thanks to a special spring. The frequency of such oscillations is about 50 times per second.

From the foregoing, we can conclude that the Kid, having such a simple design, due to its characteristics, is still able to maintain a sufficiently high pressure in the system.

Installation in a well or well

The submersible pump Kid is suspended on a synthetic cable. A metal cable or wire is quickly destroyed by vibration. Their use is possible if a synthetic cable is tied below - at least 2 meters. There are eyelets in the upper part of the case for its fixing. The end of the cable is threaded through them and carefully fixed. The knot is located no lower than 10 cm from the pump housing - so that it is not sucked in. The cut edges are melted so that the cable does not unravel.

The cable clings to a special eye

Connecting hoses and pipes

A supply hose is put on the outlet pipe of the pump. Its inner diameter should be slightly smaller (by a couple of millimeters) than the diameter of the pipe.Too narrow a hose creates an additional load, due to which the unit burns out faster.

It is allowed to install flexible rubber or polymer hoses, as well as plastic or metal pipes of suitable diameter. When using pipes, the pump is connected to them with a piece of flexible hose at least 2 meters long.

Installation diagram of a submersible vibration pump

The hose is secured to the nozzle with a metal clamp. Usually a problem arises here: the hose jumps off from constant vibrations. To prevent this from happening, the outer surface of the pipe can be processed with a file, giving it additional roughness. You can also make a groove for the clamp, but do not get carried away too much. It is better to use a stainless steel clamp with notches - it gives additional rigidity to the mount.

It is better to take a collar like this

Preparation and descent

The installed hose, cable and electric cable are pulled together, installing constrictions. The first is placed at a distance of 25-30 cm from the body, all the rest in increments of 1-2 meters. The straps can be made from sticky tape, plastic ties, pieces of synthetic twine, etc. The use of metal wire or clamps is prohibited - when they vibrate, they fray the sheaths of the cord, hose or the twine itself.

A crossbar is installed on the head of the well or well, for which the cable will be attached. The second option is a hook on the side wall.

The prepared pump is gently lowered to the required depth. Here, too, questions arise: at what depth to install the Malysh submersible pump. The answer is twofold. Firstly, from the water surface to the top of the hull, the distance should be no more than the immersion depth of this model. For the “Kid” of the Topol company, this is 3 meters, for the PATRIOT unit - 10 meters.Secondly, there must be at least a meter to the bottom of the well or well. This is so as not to disturb the water too much.

Tie with plastic, nylon cords, adhesive tape, but not with metal (even in a sheath)

If the Malysh submersible pump is installed in a well, it should not touch the walls. When installed in a well, a rubber spring ring is put on the body.

Having lowered the pump to the required depth, the cable is fixed on the crossbar

Please note: all weight must be on the cable, not on the hose or cable. To do this, when fastening, the twine is pulled, and the cord and hose are slightly loosened.

Installation in a shallow well

With a small depth of the well, when the length of the cable is less than 5 meters, to neutralize vibrations, the cable is suspended from the crossbar through a springy gasket. The best option is a piece of thick rubber that can withstand the load (weight and vibration). Springs are not recommended.

Mounting options for submersible vibration pumps with upper and lower water intake

Installation in a river, pond, lake (horizontal)

The Malysh submersible pump can also be operated in a horizontal position. Its preparation is similar - put on a hose, fasten everything with ties. Only then the body should be wrapped with a rubber sheet 1-3 mm thick.

Vertical installation option in open water

After the pump is lowered under water, it can be turned on and operated. It does not require any additional measures (filling and lubrication). It cools down with the help of pumped water, which is why switching on without water has an extremely bad effect on it: the motor overheats and can burn out.

Description and operation

The vibration electric pump Malysh M belongs to the category of economical and unpretentious household appliances in operation. Shown to feed flow fresh water temperature up to + 35С from wells with a diameter of more than 100 mm, shaft-type wells, open reservoirs up to 40 meters deep. The content of aggressive impurities is not allowed, the proportion of mechanical insoluble impurities is not more than 0.01%.

The vibration pump can deliver water flow over long distances horizontally (up to 105 meters). Models are produced under the names: Brook, Malysh M, Brook (p), Brook + and have the following design differences:

1. Brook, Malysh-M - I class of protection against electric shock, aluminum pump part;
2. Brook (p), Malysh M (p) - class of protection against defeat I, plastic part of the pump;
3. Brook + - protection class I, equipped with a thermal switch, aluminum pump part;
4. Brook 1, Malysh M1 - protection class II, aluminum part made of plastic, maximum immersion depth no more than 3 m.

Pumps comply with GOST, have certificates of conformity.

The baby pump works, but does not pump water: reasons

Among the many problems that arise during the improper operation of these pumps, this is the one most often encountered by users.

Its possible causes:

• breakage of the rod, which, during proper operation, swings without displacement. To eliminate the breakdown, you need a serviceable unit that can be removed from the old "Kid" or bought;
• inflator cuff failure. Without disassembling the pump, it cannot be identified. The part itself outwardly resembles 2 half-bent discs with a point of contact. It is inexpensive, and changes very quickly;
• loosening by vibration of the locknut on the adjustment screw.To eliminate the breakdown, it is enough to twist it into its original position.

Features of installation and connection

The main rule: the pump must be mounted in a vertical position, otherwise its service life will be seriously reduced. And the depth of its immersion should be such that the suction hole is always in the water. Therefore, you need to know the lower dynamic water level in your source.

Dynamic and static levels

Installation instructions:

• Prepare the water supply hose. Its length must correspond to the immersion depth, and its diameter must correspond to the diameter of the discharge pipe;
• Fasten the hose to the nozzle with a plastic clamp;
• Attach the filter to the suction pipe. This is especially true for pumps with a lower water intake, since mechanical impurities entering the working chamber of the device lead to rapid wear of the check valve and piston, clog the hose, which leads to a critical increase in pressure inside the device;

• Make sure the network cable is long enough. If this is not the case, you need to build it up with your own hands, but so that the junction is above the level of the well;
• Combine the hose and cable with plastic clamps so that the latter cannot slide down, but is in a loose state;

Installation of the pump in the well

• If there is a very small gap between the pump and the walls of the well casing, then a rubber ring must be put on its body, which will prevent mechanical damage to the device from vibration;
• Fix a steel cable or a nylon cord that comes with the pump in a special eye on the body. Tie an elastic rubber band about 50 cm long to its upper end - it will dampen the vibration;
• Lower the rope pump into the source to the specified depth, then carefully secure the rope from the outside.

Now you can connect the cable to the network and use the device. Connection is possible only after complete immersion, as idling will quickly lead to breakage.

Unfortunately, the pressure that the Malysh pump creates does not suit everyone, especially if there are appliances in the house for the normal operation of which it must be at least 2 atm. Vibrating devices are, in principle, capable of producing it, but if the source is located far away, then significant pressure losses occur in horizontal sections.

But there is a way out: the pump must be additionally equipped with a check valve, a pressure switch and a hydraulic accumulator, turning it into a mini-pumping station. Automatic maintenance of the water level in the accumulator is carried out using a relay: it turns on the pump when the pressure in it drops.

In the photo you see everything that is needed for the installation of a pumping station

Automation for the pump

Recommended automatic devices include:

• Dry running controllers that turn off the unit when air or sand enters it;
• Float switches activated when the water level drops;
• Pressure switch and thermal relay;
• The stabilizer for the pump Kid, maintaining the current unchanged during pressure surges;
• Start-up devices;
• check valves;
• Hydraulic accumulators that maintain pressure in the network through a pressure switch.

To get an idea of ​​how it all works, we suggest studying the following diagram:

Hydraulic accumulator for pump Malysh - connection diagram

• 1 - control unit;
• 2 - cable with a plug for connecting to the network;
• 3 - cable with a socket for connecting the pump;
• 4 - automatic switch;

• 6 - pump Malysh;
• 7 - power cable;

• 9 - check valve;
• 10 - pressure pipeline;
• 11 - cross;
• 12 - adapter nipple;
• 13 - flexible eyeliner;
• 14 - hydraulic accumulator;
• 15 - distribution pipeline.

When the pump is turned on, it supplies water to the accumulator connected to the automation system. When the pressure in it reaches the nominal value, the pressure switch turns off the pump and turns it on again when it drops.

Faults and repairs

1. Disassembly and preventive cleaning:
   • disassembly and troubleshooting of mechanism parts;
   • dismantling the cap with the suction valve;
   • removal of nuts and dismantling of the piston;
   • shock absorber control.
2. Checking the gap at the magnet and the rod assembly:
   • place pieces of plasticine between the magnet and the rod;
   • mount a rod without a piston;
   • close the lid and squeeze, disassemble in the reverse order and measure the thickness of the plasticine (4-5 mm);
   • adjust with washers.
3. To control the accuracy of the piston installation, it is necessary:
   • mount the piston and install 2 bolts on the cover;
   • blow into the outlet fitting with your mouth:
     • add a gasket with free air passage;
     • inside the air must pass much more difficult;
     • adjustment is completed.
4. Installing the suction valve after troubleshooting:
   • the process of blowing air should be very difficult;
   • general assembly must be carried out on the sealant, especially the electrical wire.

Expert advice: when replacing a non-return valve, in the absence of a regular one, you can use a rubber stopper from pharmaceutical bottles.

During operation, the unit, touching them, will receive blows.

The body is not an anvil: it will heat up and the potting of the magnet assembly will be destroyed.A similar situation occurs when the unit is running dry.

Repair goes as follows:

• it is necessary to dismantle the electrical part;
• remove the magnet from the case;
• grinder, on the body, cut shallow grooves under the sealant;
• lubricate the body with a sealant used to insert windshields;
• reassemble in reverse order;
• allow to dry;
• perform final assembly of the entire pump.

Advice from practice: to exclude cases of clogging of the pump, it is necessary to purchase a special external filter, which is put on the suction part like a cap. There are similar filters that are worn entirely on the entire pump.

The lineup

The range of pumps "Kid" is divided into the following lines. to the menu

Classic "Kid"

This is a vibratory submersible pump that can be used to draw water from a well or a shallow well with a casing diameter of more than 100 mm.

In addition to vertical pumping of water, the pressure of the pump is sufficient to supply water in a horizontal direction over long distances (100-150 meters), so that it can be used to draw water from reservoirs and supply it to water gardens or household plots.

Submersible "Kid" should not work with excessively polluted water - the mass concentration of mechanical insoluble impurities is not more than 0.01%. The maximum temperature of the pumped water is 35 degrees.

Specifications:

• Rated power - 245 W;
• The maximum height of water rise is 40 meters;
• Average productivity: when the water rises by 1 meter - 1050 l / h, when it rises by 40 meters - 430 l / h;
• The boundary time of safe continuous operation is 2 hours;
• Works from a network of 220 V;
• Operating pressure level - 0.4 MPa;
• Unit weight - 3.5 kg (filter, hose and cable are not included).

The classic vibrating "Kid" is equipped with a lower water intake system. To complete the pump, a hose with a diameter of 18 to 22 mm is used.

An approximate diagram of the design of vibration pumps

In the basic version of the "Kid" there is no automatic protection against overheating, an anti-pollution filter and a pressure switch - all of them are present in more expensive modifications. The maximum allowable immersion depth of the device is 5 meters to the menu

Malysh-M series

Submersible "Malysh-M" in their technical characteristics are completely identical to ordinary Malysh, however, they carry out the upper water intake. to the menu

Series "Kid-Z"

The Malysh-3 submersible vibration pump is the best option for a budget automatic water intake device for wells with a small flow rate and a diameter of more than 80 mm.

In comparison with the basic models, it has the following technical differences:

• The electric drive and the pump itself are placed in a monolithic sealed unit;
• The rated power is reduced to 165 W, which is enough for a low-rate water well;
• With a pressure of 20 meters, the pump produces 0.432 cubic meters of water per hour.

"Baby-3" has a very compact size, and its weight does not exceed 3 kg. The hose for the pump should be ¾ inch in diameter. The device is completed with a water-proof electric cable 30 meters long. The filter is not included in the kit, but most often the owners additionally purchase a glass-shaped filter of the EFVP type.

Tips & Tricks

According to reviews, the Baby pump is able to work for very long years and without interruption, especially if you follow some recommendations. Despite its rather unpretentious characteristics, this pump does an excellent job of pumping water. More than enough for wells. Among the recommendations for the use of this pump, one of the most frequently encountered was the recommendation for monitoring mains voltage. This is due to the fact that when power surges occur, the device must be immediately turned off. The best solution would be to supply voltage through the stabilizer.

You should pay attention to the quality of the water that the pump pumps. It often happens that the device breaks due to sand or other debris getting into it.

Moreover, even pumps with an upper intake will not always guarantee that debris particles will not fall. Therefore, it is better to immediately install a filter on the pump, which will allow the device to last much longer. In addition, due to the filter, the water will come in better quality, since there will be no impurities in it.

When the inlets on the device become clogged, they must be carefully cleaned so as not to damage the rubber valve. That is why it is best to use tools for cleaning, the ends of which are blunt. In the event that the pump will not be used in winter, it should be removed from the well. Then rinse thoroughly and dry. It is best to store the pump away from heating appliances and preferably out of direct sunlight.

The vibration submersible pump is not designed to work with a hydraulic accumulator, as it cannot create high pressure. However, there are certain conditions when they can work together in one bundle. For this, a standard scheme is used in the form of a pump, a pressure switch, a pressure gauge and a hydraulic accumulator. All this must be assembled using a five-pin fitting. In order for this design to work normally at the end of the hose immersed in water, it is necessary to install a check valve. It will prevent water from flowing back into the well. Also a prerequisite is a significant capacity of the accumulator (at least 100-150 liters). The pressure switch is set as low as possible so that the pump has enough power.

How to repair the pump "Kid" with your own hands, see the following video.

Overview of the range of pumps and their differences

There are three main models of a submersible pump, which have slight differences in technical parameters, as well as a different (upper or lower) water intake system, and therefore their scope is somewhat different.

Modifications of submersible pumps with the Malysh logo are available with a lower and upper water intake option. Depending on the model, they can work in wells with an internal diameter of 80 to 110 mm

Base model: features and specifications

The classic pump Kid is produced with a lower water intake, thanks to which it:

• most effectively supplies water from open reservoirs located at large distances,
• copes well with draining flooded lower floors and basements of buildings,
• can pump water to the lowest possible level.

At the same time, with the lower location of the nozzles that perform the suction of the liquid, sand particles may enter the unit, which can cause damage to the device. Therefore, it is not recommended to use it in heavily polluted water bodies without installing special filters.

The pump Malysh in the basic version is produced with a lower water intake.To prevent debris from entering the tank, it is recommended to install it at a distance of at least a meter from the bottom of the reservoir (+)

The pump marked "K", in fact, is the same "Kid", but with built-in additional thermal protection.

A thermal switch is installed in its case, which turns off the device in case of overheating. The model is convenient in that the device can be left to work unattended for a sufficiently long period of time without worrying that it will burn out.

A device marked “P” informs that its body is made of plastic, if there is no marking, then it is made of aluminum. It is worth noting that the aluminum case, although it costs a little more, is more durable and reliable.

It is not uncommon for the plastic case to not withstand the load and cracks appear on it. Therefore, the desire to save money can lead to the opposite result, and you will have to buy a new device.

Other modifications of the pump "Kid"

Other models "Kid-M" and "Kid-3" differ from the classic pump in the upper water intake. At the same time, if the first one is identical in technical characteristics with the base model, then the second one has significant differences. The parameters of all devices are shown below.

The power and performance indicators of the Malysh-M pump are the same as those of the base model, but it is produced with an upper water intake, so it is suitable for installation in dirty water sources

Units with an upper suction pipe are usually used to supply water from wells and wells.

They can be used in places where pumps with a lower water intake are at risk of failure: in heavily polluted water bodies, because during operation they do not raise debris and silt from the bottom that clog the system.

In models with an upper intake, the engine cools better, due to which the pump does not overheat.

Technical parameters of models

Pumps work from a normal network at 220 V and can dive to a depth of up to three meters. When working in marginal wells (with a small volume of water), deeper lowering is possible.

The productivity of all models is 430 l / h, while “Kid” and “Kid-M” have a head of 40 m (maximum - 60 m), “Kid-3” - 20 m (maximum - 25 m). When working without pressure, productivity increases to 1500 liters.

The dimensions and power of the devices also have different indicators. So, the power of the basic model and modification with the letter “M” is 240 W, length - 25.5 cm, weight - 3.4 kg.

The power of the Malysh-3 pump is only 185 W, its length does not exceed 24 cm, and its weight is 2 kg, so it is usually used to draw water from shallow wells and wells with an internal diameter of 8 cm or more.

When buying a pump, you must first familiarize yourself with its technical characteristics and choose a model in accordance with the diameter and depth of the well (+)

Another parameter that you should know when buying a device is the electrical protection class. By default, all pumps that do not have this indicator have protection class 2.

The first class is indicated by the Roman numeral I. At the same time, class 2 devices are equipped with reinforced insulation, they are equipped with a cord with two cores. Class 1 devices are additionally equipped with a three-core cable with grounding.
