Pump "Malysh": technical characteristics, repair and operating features
Hand today, domestic manufacturers are in no way inferior in terms of performance to foreign firms. What's more, you can get a similar set of features for much less. Thus, now there is no longer the need to spend huge sums in pursuit of "imported quality", because our equipment has ceased to lag behind foreign ones. For example, you can buy an inexpensive but high-quality pump "Kid", the technical characteristics of which you will find in this article.
This unit is an excellent alternative to foreign manufacturers.

The principle of operation of the pump "Kid", the scope of its use
Application area
Due to its versatility, the pump "Malysh" can be used for a number of purposes, including the use of equipment on any subsidiary and farm plots, orchards, and even dachas.
This device has a wide range of applications
Taking into account the above, it is possible to single out the main tasks to be solved by this device:
- Any irrigation work in fields, gardens and other agricultural areas.
- Filling or pumping water from various artificial reservoirs, for example, swimming pools.
- Taking water from a well or well, and supplying it to the water supply system of the house.
- Pumping water out of the premises in case of emergency situations resulting in flooding.
Thus, we conclude that the Malysh pump, whose technical characteristics we are analyzing, is quite versatile.
Availability and versatility make this pump one of the most popular
The principle of operation of the pump "Kid"
The principle of operation of this device is quite simple: it is based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic waves.When the equipment is connected to the network, a special drive converts electrical energy into electromagnetic oscillations, which are then transmitted to the valve, which acts on the membrane and makes it oscillate at a frequency of about 50 times per second.
Design features of the "Kid"
It is thanks to these movements that the pressure increases and the water flows upward. Due to their structure, these devices react negatively to overheating, therefore they are always equipped with an automatic shutdown system in case the water level drops below the pump level.

Pump "Kid": technical characteristics of various types, selection criteria for the device
In the modern plumbing market, several types of the "Malysh" pump are presented at once, each of which we will now consider in detail. Before choosing a pump for water "Kid", the price of which is about 1-2 thousand rubles, carefully study each of them.
This pump has many types
Classic pump "Kid"
The technical feature of this model is that it is capable of pumping water over rather impressive distances - about 100-150 meters, so it is often used to service large areas. Such a pump cannot function properly in highly polluted environments. Thus, the concentration of various kinds of impurities should not be higher than 0.01%. In addition, serious requirements are imposed on the water temperature - it should not exceed 35 degrees.
This model is basic, therefore it lacks some necessary additional parts, such as automatic overheating protection, filter and pressure regulating device... The classic unit cannot submerge to a depth of more than 5 meters, and supplies water through the bottom valve.
Technical characteristics of the classic version of the "Kid"
"Malysh-M"
In terms of its technical characteristics, this device is absolutely identical to the basic model of the "Kid", but differs from it in that the water intake is carried out through the upper valve. Thus, this model is perfect for transferring water in conditions of high content of impurities and various kinds of pollution.
Model "Malysh-M"
"Malysh-K"
Such a device is an absolute analogue of the classic version of the pump with only one difference: it has a built-in overheating protection system. Thus, you can safely, if necessary, leave the site for a long period, and leave the unit unattended, be sure that everything will be in perfect order with it.
Appearance of "Malysh-K"
"Kid-Z"
This model boasts significant structural changes in comparison with the classic version, however, their prices, in turn, differ only slightly. Let's list the main modifications of the device:
- The casing and the motor of the unit are now enclosed in a completely sealed enclosure, which excludes any possibility of water getting inside the unit;
- The power of this model is less than that of the basic version;
- "Kid-3" is smaller in comparison with the classic one.
Like the base model, this unit is not equipped with any filter, however, this insignificant disadvantage is easy to fix: just buy a regular filter on the plumbing market and install it yourself.
Model "Kid-3"
So, we have analyzed the types of the pump "Kid", the technical characteristics of each model.
Selection criteria for pumps
Carefully read the criteria for choosing a device, because the correct operation of the unit depends entirely on the decision made.
So, you have to take into account the following indicators: voltage, performance, power, possible immersion depth and what valve is used to draw water.
Technical characteristics of units of the "Kid" series
The last point should be covered separately. Bottom intake devices are especially effective when used in wells or boreholes, as well as when pumping water from flooded rooms. The disadvantage of using such models is the high probability of getting various kinds of debris into the device case. Thus, bottom-intake models are an excellent option for pumps for the Malysh well.
Useful advice! When using a model with a lower water intake, do not be lazy to install a filter for the "Kid" pump - this way you will limit the ingress of small particles and dirt into the device, and significantly extend its service life.
Unit design with bottom water intake
A pump with an upper intake is most often used to ensure the autonomous operation of a water supply, since it has a much better cooling system than its lower intake counterpart.
Useful advice! If the level of water pollution exceeds 0.01%, we recommend installing an upper inlet device. The difference in cost will be small, but the improved water supply operation you will see immediately. Thus, using the "Kid" pump with an upper water intake is an excellent solution for dirty water.

Unit installation
In order to minimize the vibration of the device, one end of it is tied up with a medical tourniquet or any other suitable material, and the other is fixed with a special nylon cord. To cushion the device in case of possible impacts against the walls of the tank, put a rubber ring on its body.
The pump must be installed in a vertical position not lower than the dynamic level. Also pay attention to the diameter of the hose: it must exactly match the pump, so that the efficiency of the device will be maximized.
Do not connect the unit to the mains during installation and make sure that the cable connections are located outside the tank.

Operating rules
The only and main rule for using "Kids" is the mandatory installation of filters that will not allow clogging of the structure. The cost of the filter will be about 100 rubles, and the benefits of installing it will be invaluable.
A filter is a necessary element of any unit
