Private estates, deprived of central water supply, need an autonomous system. To do this, use wells, wells or nearby reservoirs for irrigation. However, it is difficult to pull water with numerous buckets. Therefore, the masters resort to the use of vibrating deep pumps. Features of the technical characteristics of the submersible pump Kid allow the unit to be operated by a family of 3 people.
Application area
In appearance, a small submersible pump is successfully used by summer residents for the following purposes:
- collection of water in storage tanks;
- watering and irrigation of summer cottages, garden plots;
- pumping out clean water from flooded premises;
- water supply of a country cottage, but with some restrictions.
The Malysh pump is designed to pump clean water or liquid with a small proportion of sand impurities - no more than 1%.
Modifications and technical characteristics of the submersible pump Kid
There are three options for the device of the vibrating unit:
- Basic model. Water intake - bottom. Due to this, it is possible for sand particles to enter the working chamber of the device. This modification of the pump is used in clean wells and reservoirs. If the source contains impurities, coarse filters should be installed. The power of the model is 240 W. Pumping 25 l / min. At the same time, the immersion depth is 3-40 meters. Liquid transportation height - 60 m.
- The pump with the additional marking "K" has the same characteristics as the basic unit. The main difference is in the installed thermal protection. This unit is capable of operating unattended and without the risk of combustion.
- The pump marked "Z" and "M" has an upper water intake. This is especially true for springs with a sandy bottom. As a result of such a fluid intake, the risk of sand getting into the pump flask is significantly reduced. The motor in the top-inlet pump cools better.
The letter "P" in the name of the unit indicates that its body is made of plastic. It should be borne in mind that an aluminum sleeve is several times stronger and more durable, albeit more expensive.
Installation and operation
When installing the "Kid" submersible pump, it is important to take into account the principle of water intake in the device (bottom / top). Pumps with a lower water intake are recommended to be mounted at a distance of at least 1 meter from the bottom, so that the unit does not stir up the sand with its movement. Devices with a top fence can be mounted directly to the bottom of the source. In both cases, the pump must be vertical.
Install the pump in this way:
- Stretch on the ground parallel to each other a pipe of the required length (from the depth of the liquid intake to the point of delivery), the pump electric cable and a safety nylon cable.
- They are tightened with polymer clamps with a step of 20-25 cm, excluding elements sagging or tension.
- Check for the presence of a check valve at the pump outlet. If not, install.
- With the help of a coupling and a sealing material, the pump and the pipe are connected.
- The safety cable is tied to a metal frame and the pump is lowered into the well / well.
Do not hold the unit by the cable when going down. Without prior insurance, the pump may fall into the source.
Pump operating rules:
- It is important to ensure that the mechanism works in water. Idling will lead to a breakdown of the unit (except for models with the letter "K" in the marking).
- When operating the device in a well, it is advisable to put on a tight rubber ring on its body.It will protect the casing walls from vibration shocks.
- Be sure to install the pump below the dynamic water level in the source.
- If it is necessary to extend the wire, it is important to ensure that the connection point is outside the flask of the well or well.
- It is advisable to install filters on the pump. They will protect the unit from the negative effects of debris.
In the event of a sudden shutdown of the equipment, it is necessary to find out the cause and eliminate it, otherwise the pump may burn out.

Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantages of the pump include:
- low noise level during operation;
- moderate depth of water intake (up to 40 meters);
- compact dimensions;
- long-term mode of continuous operation;
- multitasking;
- long service life (for devices with an aluminum bulb);
- maintainability;
- profitable price.
A significant disadvantage is the sensitivity of the pump to sand and clay impurities in the water.
Customer Reviews
According to reviews about the pump Kid with a lower water intake, we can say that the unit fully meets the expectations of users.
Anton, 38 years old: The parents have a house in the village and close to the river. And the old people are still gardeners. But the age of carrying water in buckets is not the same. I bought them and supplied the basic model of the Kid. True, the frame had to be specially cooked. At a depth of 4 meters and at a distance of 15 meters from the river to the garden, it pumps water regularly. Gains about 100 liters in 7-10 minutes. Taught my father to install and remove the pump on his own.
Misha, 31 years old: I decided to throw an inexpensive pump to the well in the country, so that the kids could get a pool and have water for irrigation. I bought the "Kid" and was not mistaken. It has been plowing regularly for four years. Only in the summer I clean it and install the filter just in case. I have a model in an aluminum flask.
