Private property deprived of central water supply needs an autonomous system. To do this, use wells, wells or the nearest bodies of water for irrigation. However, it is difficult to draw water in numerous buckets. Therefore, the masters resort to the use of vibrating deep pumps. Features of the technical characteristics of the submersible pump Kid allow you to operate the unit with a family of 3 people.
Application area
In appearance, a small deep pump is successfully used by summer residents for such purposes:
- a set of water in storage tanks;
- watering and irrigation of country, garden plots;
- pumping out clean water from flooded rooms;
- water supply of a country cottage, but with some restrictions.
The Malysh pump is designed to pump pure water or liquid with a small fraction of sand impurities - not more than 1%.
Modifications and technical characteristics of the submersible pump Kid
There are three options for the vibrating unit:
- Base model The water intake is lower. Due to this, sand particles may enter the working chamber of the device. This modification of the pump is used in clean wells and ponds. If the source contains impurities, it is necessary to install coarse filters. Power model - 240 watts. Pumps 25 l / min. Furthermore, the depth of immersion is 3-40 meters. Liquid transportation height - 60 m.
- The pump with the additional marking “K” has the same characteristics as the base unit. The main difference is the installed thermal protection. This unit is able to operate unattended and without the risk of combustion.
- The pump marked “Z” and “M” has an upper water intake. This is especially true for sources with a sandy bottom. As a result of such a liquid intake, the risk of sand entering the pump flask is reduced significantly. The motor in the top water pump cools better.
The letter “P” in the name of the unit indicates that its body is made of plastic. It is worth considering that an aluminum sleeve is several times stronger and more durable, albeit more expensive.
Installation and operation
When installing the “Baby” submersible pump, it is important to take into account the principle of water intake in the device (lower / upper). Pumps with a lower water intake are recommended to be installed at a distance of at least 1 meter from the bottom, so that the unit does not agitate sand with its movement. Devices with a top fence can be mounted directly on the bottom of the source. In both cases, the pump should be vertical.
Mount the pump in this way:
- Stretch on the ground parallel to each other a pipe of the desired length (from the depth of fluid intake to the feed point), the pump’s power cable and a safety nylon cable.
- They are pulled together with polymer clamps in increments of 20-25 cm, excluding sagging elements or tension.
- Check for a check valve on 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 lowering it. Without prior insurance, the pump may fall into the source.
Pump operation rules:
- It is important that the mechanism operates in water. Idling leads to damage to the unit (the exception is the model 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 protects the walls of the casing 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 junction 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, you need 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 during operation;
- moderate depth of water intake (up to 40 meters);
- compact dimensions;
- long mode of continuous operation;
- multitasking;
- long term of operation (for devices with an aluminum flask);
- maintainability;

A significant minus is the sensitivity of the pump to impurities of sand and clay in the water.
Customer reviews
According to reviews of the Kid pump with a lower water intake, it can be said that the unit fully meets the expectations of users.
Anton, 38 years old: Parents have a house in the village and close to the river. And the old people are still gardeners. But age is not the same to carry water in buckets. I bought them and put the basic model of the Kid. True, I had to cook the frame on purpose. At a depth of 4 meters and at a distance from the river to the vegetable garden of 15 meters, it pumps water properly. Approximately 100 liters gains in 7-10 minutes. He taught his father to put and clean the pump on his own.
Misha, 31 years old: I decided to throw an inexpensive pump into the well in the country, so that the kids could collect a pool and have water for irrigation. I bought "Baby" and was not mistaken. For four years, plowing regularly. Only in the summer I clean it and set the filter just in case. I have a model in an aluminum flask.
