Principle of the device and basic repair

The device of the Kid pump is based on the properties of electromagnetic waves, which are transmitted to the float valve, which forces the membrane to vibrate and thereby push water. With the help of an automatic device, the engine is monitored, which turns off when overheating, as well as after pumping the entire volume of water.

Pump models may vary in the location of the suction openings. or after pumping all the water.It is preferable to purchase a Kid pump with an upper fence, since in this equipment the electric motor is located below, and therefore it is better cooled. The suction port located on top does not trap silty deposits and other impurities from the bottom of the intake. Such equipment can operate without problems when immersed for a long time at a water level below the suction openings.

A similar situation will not be tolerated by models with a lower water intake. Therefore, their work must be monitored, without leaving the equipment turned on for a long time without attention. When buying, it is advisable to choose models with thermal protection that prevents the engine from overheating. You can repair the Kid pump with your own hands in case of replacement of leaky valves and other minor breakdowns. It is necessary to resort to the help of specialists if the product has not expired the warranty period, as well as when replacing a burned out engine.
