Pump Kid, varieties, segment of use
Vibrating pump The kid is produced in Russia by several factories. An inexpensive device is used in water supply farms, as drainage or irrigation. The tool is characterized by easy maintenance, low weight and the lowest cost in the segment.
Scope of application of pumps
Tasks performed with the tool:
- lifting water from a depth of up to 40 meters;
- pumping into containers with a height of less than 4 meters, supply to the water supply;
- watering the site with water intake from an open reservoir;
- drainage buildup of flooded rooms or swimming pools;
- to create pressure when washing cars, buildings outside, paths.
For use in different directions, water intake is provided from below and from above. But for trouble-free operation, any pump must be equipped with a suction filter and automation, protection against engine overheating. Manufacturers of modern models guarantee equipment operation for one and a half years. But on farms, you can find a baby pump at the age of 25. The first models were more viable. The cost of the pump, depending on the configuration, is 1300-2500 rubles.
For continuous year-round use, a vibration pump can be delivered without calculating the consequences. Despite the rubber gasket, vibration during operation is transmitted to the walls of the casing, destroying it. Over time, a tool worth a thousand will destroy a well, the cost of which is measured in tens of thousands of rubles.
Device, principle of operation and water pumps
Vibrating pump The kid has a working unit with a diaphragm chamber. The membrane is an elastic bridge. The pump is powered from an alternating current with a frequency of 50 Hz. Electromagnetic vibrations with the same frequency affect the core when changing the pole, forcing it to oscillate in the axial direction. In this case, the core is connected to the membrane through the float. An increase in the volume of the water chamber creates a vacuum, water flows. When compressed, it is squeezed out through the valve. Structurally, the water inlet can be from the top or bottom. The location of the intake determines the application of the pump.
The design of the Kid's water pump is simple. But in order for the pump to work for a long time, it is proposed to equip it with automation:
- dry running sensor, which allows you to stop work in case of airing the chamber or clogging it with sand;
- float switch triggered at a given level;
- network voltage stabilizer;
- thermal relay to prevent overheating of the pump housing;
- RCD;
- check valve;
- pressure gauge;
- hydroaccumulator.
The rig will extend the life, but add installation cost. In some models, the necessary equipment is installed, and the richer the equipment, the more expensive the pump.
The vibrating pump Kid has several modifications. The lower water intake is made on the Malysh and Malysh-K series. The pump can be used for pumping out tanks with moderately dirty water or installed in wells and boreholes with an internal section of more than 100 mm.
Lower water intake means that in some cases the engine can run in air and get hotter. Therefore, Malysh-K is equipped with built-in overheating protection. When using these devices, one should take into account the possibility of a large amount of sand entering the chamber in the lower holes with a small layer of liquid. therefore submersible pump for well The kid is installed one meter from the bottom border of the water intake on the suspension. When pumping out of the container, there must be a level control, a float switch will not interfere.
For water wells, it is better to use pumps with an upper water intake, when the engine is at the bottom, it has better working conditions. The suction port takes in clean water that is not turbidized by suction. With the same technical characteristics, the Malysh-M and Malysh-3 pumps have a smaller body in cross section. They can be installed in smaller casing diameters.
Specifications of the Kid pump:
- productivity - 432 l / h;
- head - 4 bars;
- consumed energy - 245 W;
- weight - 3.5 kg;
- outer diameter of the sleeve - 100 mm;
- maximum installation depth - 40 m.
Kid-3 has a weight of 3.2 kg, a cross-section of 76 mm, with a decrease in network energy consumption to 160 W. At the same time, he can raise water from a depth of 20 m.
The Brook, a Belarusian manufacturer, belongs to the same category as the Malysh pump. The model of the vibrating submersible pump Trickle -1 corresponds to the Kid-M, with an upper water intake and with overheating protection. The pump body is slightly more massive, 4 kg, section 98 mm, which allows it to be installed in casing pipes larger than 4 inches.
The trickle-1M has a lower fence, this allows you to use the tool as a drainage tool for draining pools with clean water. The cost of the Belarusian pump and its quality does not differ from the Russian model.
Complete set and operation of pumps Malysh and Trickle
When buying a pump, you must determine in advance where to use the equipment. So, if you want to supply water from the container for irrigation, it is better to buy a Kid pump with a lower fence. Then you can almost completely drain the container. To use water for lifting from depth, a device where the intake is carried out from above is more suitable. When installed in a well, the vibration pump must be isolated from the walls with rubber cuffs. They dampen vibration, but make it difficult to lower and raise the structure.
The baby water pump is characterized by instant start. In the factory complete set, the minimum set includes:
- pump;
- hoses for irrigation and raising water from the horizon;
- inlet filter;
- spare parts, incl. required valve, piston;
- connection cable with a plug for a single-phase network;
- user's manual.
It is better if the product is manufactured in the CIS or in Russia. In a more expensive configuration, a nylon cord for deep installation is provided. There is a thermal relay, pressure switch, dry run protection. The wider the equipment, the more expensive the device.
Correct installation of the pump is important, the operating position must be vertical, without distortion. The pump should be secured with a strong nylon cord, passing it along the grooves. In this case, a weight with a spring should be suspended below to damp vibration. The pump casing is separated from the casing walls by elastic cuffs.
You should never lower the submersible pump using a wire, it does not extinguish, but resonates vibration. This will wear out the mount and the pump may fall.
The pumps in this category are not intended for continuous operation. Respect for the appliance and repairs can extend the service life. After the end of the warranty period, repairs in the workshop will become irrational. But spare parts are inexpensive, repairs are simple. If the engine is running, the housing is easily disassembled, the installation sequence can be found in the operating instructions.
The universal pump will become an irreplaceable assistant in the country. When leaving, you can take it with you.
