When choosing a pump for a summer cottage or a country house, you want it to be simple, reliable, economical, convenient and, most importantly, cheap. This is precisely the vibratory submersible pump, which many summer residents pay attention to in the first place. With the help of such a pump, you can water a garden, pump out water from a basement or an open reservoir, take water from a well. In this article, we will dwell on how the vibrating pump works and how it works. This knowledge will give us the opportunity to figure out where a pump of this type will show itself at its best, and where it is not worth using it. The low price of vibration pumps invariably attracts buyers, but it will also be important to pay attention to the characteristics and parameters of the unit. And although they are unpretentious in maintenance, they still have weak points.

The internal structure of the vibration pump is quite simple, there are only a few basic elements that determine the specifics of the unit's operation.

1. Power element of the pump. It is an electromagnet, which consists of a U-shaped core. The magnet core is made up of electrical steel plates and wound with a winding coated with an insulating varnish. The core is filled with epoxy resin with quartz sand and is located in the power section of the pump. The magnet is fixed with resin, which also insulates the windings, preventing them from coming into contact with water, while sand is needed to improve heat dissipation.
2. Vibrator consists of the second part of the U-shaped magnet, on which the rod is fixed. On the reverse side of the rod, a shock absorber is fixed - a rubber washer. The performance and efficiency of the entire unit depends on the quality of the shock absorber. Behind the shock absorber there is a plastic distance sleeve resting on it, this sleeve isolates the pump chamber, into which water is drawn, from the electrical part. Inside the sleeve is a diaphragm that guides and locks the stem.
3. Delivery chamber for water, which is subsequently squeezed out of this chamber into the pipeline through channels 11.
4. Suction chamber... Water comes here from the source.
5. Shock absorber, which is sometimes protected by a metal ring.
6. Washers... If you add and decrease the number of washers, you can adjust the piston stroke, and accordingly the productivity.
7. Stock... There are models of vibration pumps in which the stem is slightly longer and protrudes into the suction chamber. In this chamber, lugs are cast inside in the form of a guide ring, along which the rod runs. This design slightly increases the pump performance, since the movement of the stem is limited and its displacement in the transverse direction is minimized.
8. Check valves... In this case, they are rubber inserts-fungi. Through the check valve, water enters the suction chamber, but does not come back, since when the piston is squeezed by the piston, the valve closes. It is very important that the check valve is flexible and in good condition, otherwise, or if it is dirty with debris, it will not close tightly when squeezed by the piston, and some of the water will go back to the source.
9. Nutfixing and fixing the piston.
10. Rubber piston is the most important working part that most often fails. Dirty water quickly destroys it.
11. Water drainage channels into the pipeline. When the pressure in the injection chamber rises, the water is squeezed out through the channels into the pipeline.

Of all the parts, the rubber piston and check valves are subject to wear if the water is dirty. The rest of the elements and parts are quite durable, although excessive vibrations can significantly accelerate their failure.

The working principle of the vibration pump

The vibration pump works by changing the pressure in the pump delivery chamber. Water suction into the suction chamber is ensured by the reciprocating movements of the rubber diaphragm / piston.

If we look at it in more detail, it looks like this. When the unit is connected to the electrical network, current is applied to the coil winding and a magnetic field is formed around. As a result, the coil of the U-shaped core (1) is magnetized and attracts the vibrator (2) - the coil located in the pressure chamber.

As a result, the rubber piston / diaphragm (10) bends inward through the rod (7) and is pulled closer to the discharge chamber, therefore, a vacuum is created in the suction chamber (4), the pressure decreases. The space of the suction chamber is filled with water, which is sucked in through the check valves (8) from the source.

The very essence of alternating current is such that for a moment the magnetization disappears, the rod (7) is thrown back with the help of a shock absorber (5). The piston begins to press on the water inside the suction chamber, the pressure rises there. Since the check valves (8) are closed by water pressure, it has no choice but to rush into the pressure chamber (3).

When magnetization reappears and the rod is pulled back along with the piston, pressure builds up in the discharge chamber and water is forced through channels (11) to the pipeline. At the same time, vacuum and pumping of water from the source occurs in the suction chamber.

Such cycles - magnetization / demagnetization - occur at a frequency of 100 times per second. Reciprocating movements of the rod, in fact, are vibrations, for which this type of pump is called "vibration".

How can a submersible vibration pump be used

The design of vibration pumps is quite simple, so they do not require special attention to themselves and are unpretentious units. They do not need to be lubricated as there are no rotating parts and bearings. The mechanism practically does not heat up during operation, so the parts wear out less. Vibrating pumps freely pump alkaline water, are not afraid of mineral salts in the water and can operate at any ambient temperature. Everything speaks about the reliability of the unit, but still, let's think about this.

Vibrations that cause water to be pumped from a source and then propelled to a pipeline can be damaging. Actually, any vibrations are destructive. Under the influence of vibrations, what should not move, but should be static, is displaced. Knowledge of this property determines where vibration pumps can be installed, and in what cases they cannot be used.

Using a vibration pump:

• Pump out water from a well that has just been dug or when it is necessary to inspect the water springs or clean it.
• Supply well water for life.
• Supply water from an open water source - a river, lake, pool, artificial reservoir.
• Water supply from a container - tank, cistern, etc.
• Pump out water from a flooded room, trench, basement, foundation pit, etc.

You may have noticed that this list does not include the usual option for everyone, when a vibration pump is used to supply water from a well. The vibration submersible pump leaves very different reviews. Some say that their vibration pump "Malysh" has been in the well for 10 years and works great, while for others the well has become unusable, and the foundation of the house has collapsed.

Can a vibration pump be used in a well

Understanding the processes taking place inside the well helps to choose the right submersible pump for it. It also becomes clear why vibration pumps cannot be used.

Imagine a well with a vibrating-type submersible pump. Water will be pumped out of the well while it is there. When there is not enough water, sand will begin to rise from the bottom and will be sucked in by the pump along with the water. As a result, the output is dirty water with sand. But it is enough to turn off the pump and let the water settle, as the sand settles, and it becomes normal again. And what about the well?

The pipe, through which water rises from the well, is lowered to the very aquifer and at the end has a mesh filter with a fine mesh. This filter retains small fractions that are sucked in with the water and prevents them from entering the pipeline. During operation, a cone of sand of various fractions forms around the strainer. In a calm state, this cone is actually an additional filter that does not allow suspended particles to pass into the pipe.

What happens if a vibration pump is lowered into the well?As soon as the pump turns on, the cone will begin to move. There is a kind of separation of the rock: large particles rise up the cone, and small dusty sand particles go down - to the filter itself... You can observe a similar picture if you simply apply vibration to loose rocks - they simply begin to "float".

If the particles of fine sand are of the same size as the fine mesh of the filter, then the filter will become clogged and the flow of water will decrease - they say that the debit of the well has decreased.

If the fine sand particles are smaller than the filter cells, then the dusty particles penetrate into the pipe and fill it. This can lead to two results:

1. The sand will rise with the sucked in water and water with sand will come out. In this case, they say “the well is sanding”.
2. The sand will completely clog the pipe and pump. In this case, they say "the well is silted up."

The term “silted up” in this case is not appropriate, of course, but it is used because the word is simple and memorable. It is more correct to call the ongoing process "Filter clogging with dusty sand".

But this does not change the essence, as a result of colmatation, the owner will inevitably have serious problems. The best option - he will be able to lift the vibration pump up and clean it, and then call the specialists to clean the well. The worst option is that the pump will get stuck completely, and the well will not be able to operate, it will turn into a useless hole in the ground.

It may not always end so sadly. Much depends on the structure of the soil in the well. The finer the particles, the easier they are to break loose and rush to the filter, carried away by the flow.

All positive reviews about the operation of a vibration pump in a well are associated precisely with the fact that the rock of the soil is a failure of coarse sand, quartz or even stone fractions. Then rock particles do not penetrate into the filter, but accumulate around it.

If the rock is sandy loam or fine-grained sand, then the well will "grit" until the pump clogs.

The price for a vibrating submersible pump is the lowest among all pumps. Compared to a centrifugal pump, the difference can be 300 - 500%. If a vibration pump "Trickle" or "Kid" can be purchased for 30 - 40 USD, then a centrifugal pump will cost no less than 80 - 150 USD. It is the low cost that tempts many to take risks and install a vibrator in the well. But is this risk justified? Indeed, in addition to the fact that the filter on the pipe can clog, the rocks of the well begin to collapse and move under the influence of vibrations, and this can end with the collapse of the entire well, and sometimes the foundation of the house, if the well is nearby.

But the vibrations of the pump can also be used for borehole use. New wells just drilled are being developed and increased their debit using vibration pumps. The destruction of rocks by vibration plays in this case in our favor. But only a specialist should perform such work.

Characteristics and parameters of vibration pumps

When choosing a pump, you need to pay attention to its characteristics.

Performance - the main parameter of any pump. It must be selected in such a way that it in no case exceeds the debit of the source. Typically, the performance of vibration pumps is divided into three categories: low - 360 l / h, medium - 750 l / h, high - 1500 l / h, but there are models and 2000 - 3000 l / h.

Height of water rise is a very important indicator. Since the water source is located at a distance from the consumer, it is necessary to calculate what pressure the pump must provide in order for the water pressure in the consumer to be normal. For the calculation, it is necessary to add the pump installation depth, the distance from the ground to the mirror, add the length of the pipeline and add another 20% losses. The minimum pressure provided by vibrating pumps is 40 m, most often those models that supply water to 60 m are used, more powerful models are less common - up to 80 m.

Immersion depth all vibration pumps have the same - 7 m.

External diametercan be from 76 mm to 106 mm. If it is planned to use the unit in the well, its diameter should be slightly less than the diameter of the casing.

Location of the water intake in the pump - top or bottom - very important. If the water intake is on top of the pump, then it will not suck in sand from the bottom of the source. It is necessary to place such a pump 30 cm above the bottom.

If the water intake is at the bottom, then the suction of sand and other small particles cannot be avoided. Such models can be used for pumping a well, for pumping out dirty water from a well, basement or trench. The unit must be located 100 cm above the bottom.

Important! Vibratory pumps with bottom intake can overheat if the pump is left without water. Therefore, many do not recommend using them. In fact, it is important to buy a pump with thermal protection, no matter where the water intake is located.

Thermal protection- protection against overheating in the event of an emergency, for example, if the piston is jammed or a power surge occurs. Dry running of the pump is also dangerous. In all cases, the core coils overheat and damage such as a short circuit can occur. In models of vibration pumps with an upper water intake, thermal protection is arranged primitively, it is the fact that the body of the unit is under water, which always cools it, but only if the pump is completely submerged in water. In the vibration pumps "Malysh" of the Moscow plant with a lower water intake, there is a slightly more perfect thermal protection mechanism, as soon as the core winding overheats, the pump turns off and turns on again only after it cools down.

Weaknesses of submersible vibration pumps

Despite the simple design and principle of operation, as well as ease of maintenance, the vibration pump still has weak points that you should be aware of.

• Do not like idling / dry running... If the pump model is not equipped with thermal protection, then even 5 - 30 seconds of idle operation is enough for the winding to overheat and be damaged. And this is when the pump is immersed in water, but if the pump is not lowered into water and turned on, then the damage can be several times greater.
• Threaded connections are untwisted... Under the influence of vibration, the threads of the piston and check valves are untwisted. It will not be superfluous to replace all standard nuts with self-locking ones immediately after purchasing a vibration pump.
• Corrosion of body bolts... As the vibrating submersible photo demonstrating the pump shows, its body is made of aluminum, but for some reason the bolts of the body are steel, rusting. Even a zinc coating is not able to protect them from the influence of water. After purchase, they must be replaced with non-ferrous bolts.

• The rubber parts of the pump wear out quickly when exposed to sand and fine particles. As a result, pump performance and efficiency are reduced. You can deal with such a disaster by fixing a metal mesh on the suction port of the pump.
• Quite often, even in new pumps non-return valve not secured enough or vice versa - too much. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the mount. To do this, having lowered the pump into water, it is necessary to check how it opens and, if necessary, tighten the nuts or at the same time replace them with self-locking ones.
• Sensitivity to voltage drops. A voltage drop of only 10% reduces the pump performance by 2 times. For example, if a pump can supply water up to 40 m in height, then at a voltage of 200 V, it will be able to raise only 20 m. An increase in voltage increases the head, but at the same time the load on the mechanical components and parts of the pump also increases. For example, stem runout occurs, resulting in increased wear on the rubber piston / diaphragm and stem. Therefore, it is imperative to use a vibration pump with a voltage stabilizer.

Which vibrating pump is better

On the market you can find models of vibration pumps of Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Chinese manufacturers. All of them are of high quality, although they have a number of differences. But foreign models from Italy and Germany are difficult to meet, they are practically not imported. The reason is simple - the market is saturated with domestic goods, which sufficiently satisfies the needs of buyers.

The price for a vibrating submersible pump is stable and the price range is small from 30 to 50 USD. and practically does not depend on the manufacturer.

The most popular in the CIS. It has earned itself an enviable fame and reputation as a reliable unit. Pumps with the name "Malysh" are produced by various factories, including "AEK Dynamo" (Moscow) and "Electric motor" (Bavleny). The characteristics of these pumps must be clarified, since you can find a vibration pump "Kid" with an upper water intake, and it is possible with a lower one. But with such an important detail as thermal protection, all models of "Kids" are equipped, which served as a guarantee of their reliability and durability.

Popular not less than "Kid". These models are made with an upper water intake and have a pressure of 60 m. They are produced by several different factories: the product of OJSC Livgidromash (Russia) is called Trickle, but the product of OJSC Technopribor (Belarus) is called Trickle 1. And as tests show, their characteristics are different. For example, the Russian "Trickle" raises water by 50 m with a volume of 598 l / hour, and the Belarusian "Trickle 1" only by 30 m and 300 l / hour.

Ukrainian production is somewhat more expensive than its counterparts ($ 50). The model range of units of this manufacturer is quite wide and diverse, so you can choose a pump for any need: with a head of 90 - 100 m, a capacity of 1500 l / h, with two check valves. Absolutely all models of Ukrainian "Aquarius" are equipped with thermal protection. Please note that a Russian product with a similar name is significantly inferior in characteristics and capabilities to a Ukrainian one.

When choosing a submersible vibration pump, in addition to the main characteristics, you should pay attention to small structural details that facilitate its operation. For example, a long cable with strong rubber winding / insulation will allow the pump to be used at any temperature. The length of the electric cable should be such that it can be brought to the outlet without any problems. Also, convenient threaded connections and the presence of a universal adapter will be important, which allows you to connect a standard water pipe of 25 mm or 19 mm.

Vibrating submersible pump - video repair manual

The number of wells for water in our country is constantly increasing, which means that the demand for household submersible pumps is constantly increasing. The most demanded type in this classification is vibration apparatus. The developed manufacturing technology was laid in the second half of the XX century. This year, about 1 million pieces have already entered the shelves, although the market is not limited to this quantity. In such an abundance, it is difficult to figure out on your own which vibration pump is better.

One of the most famous names for such devices is "Baby" and "Spring". However, in recent years, the lineup has expanded significantly due to local manufacturers and representatives of Chinese business.

Well hydraulics

When choosing which is the best well pump for specific conditions, it is necessary to consider a number of important operational factors:

• the geometric and physical parameters of the well are taken into account;
• the required volume of water for use in the country or in a private house;
• not the least role is played by the value on the price tag for the purchased copy.

When choosing a pricing policy, it is worth considering not only the payment for one pump, but the total price of a pumping station for a well, including main distributions from the pipeline. The kit includes both domestic water supply and the supply of liquid to sheds with domestic animals, as well as wiring for watering garden crops.

It is advisable to take care of the availability of a spare water storage tank, as well as maximum system automation. This module will reduce the effect of water hammer in the system, and will also keep the required pressure in the pipes at the level of 2.5-3 atm.

Vibration pump design

The submersible vibration pump has a simple structure. Moreover, he does not need any additional maintenance, such as regular lubrication or mandatory maintenance.

The device is based on several important modules:

• electromagnet;
• vibrator;
• sealed housing.

The electromagnet is a metal core made of steel, as well as coils connected in series. The core is U-shaped. It is composed of many sheet plates of the same shape.

There is also a working diaphragm, which provides additional fixation to the working rod. A pair of check valves is mounted on it in order to bypass water on time.

The use of a vibration pump in a well

You can operate the vibration pump in the well at any convenient depth. It should be borne in mind that vibration can be reflected in the surrounding space. When the channel is made in stable rocks, for example, in sandstone, clayey rocks or stony soil, then such an apparatus does not carry any complications.

But if the ground is unstable, layers of quicksand rocks are noticed, then the vibration can slightly muddy the water. For further use of the liquid, you will need to use various filters. Excessive vibration can even clog the channels, which will negatively affect the flow.

A positive quality contributing to the purchase of a vibration pump is its small price tag. However, if comfort is in the first place for the owner of the water supply system, then they often pay attention to the use of pumping stations.

Additional electrical protection

If the pump in the well for the water supply of the house is vibrating, then it is recommended to mount an electrical stabilizer before connecting it. The appliance will balance the voltage supply on weak power lines. The need for a stable current value lies in the fact that during starting the pump is forced to consume a high starting current.

Also, during operation, "Kid" or "Spring" will give out a guaranteed pressure while maintaining the voltage at the same level. Any stabilizer is able to extend the life of the pump, because manufacturers calculate their characteristics precisely from stable values \u200b\u200bof voltage, current and frequency.

Choosing between models

When the owner of a country house has decided on the type of apparatus, it remains to choose which vibration pump is better for the model. For this, the appropriate search criteria are selected.

Performance

The value determines the amount of pumped water per hour. There are three groups:

• minimum - up to 350 l / h;
• medium - 750 l / h;
• powerful 1500 l / h and more.

Performance is related to water debit. You should not take an extremely powerful one, capable of pumping out all the water in a few minutes, and then you have to wait for it to run again.

Pressure

The indicator is relevant for the significant remoteness of the consumer object from the water intake point. The division is like this:

• the minimum for pumps is 40 m water column;
• sufficient average value of 60 m;
• maximum for household appliances up to 90 m.

It is worth considering that the pressure is not excessive, since about 20% of losses should be dropped in the calculation. With a horizontal arrangement, a distance of 10 m is equivalent to 1 m of diving.

Water intake

There are two large types of intake, one draws water from the bottom, and the other has a intake from the top. The last option is the most optimal, since it does not take sand particles, large fractions of garbage. It practically does not clog.

If the hearth enters the vibration pump from below, then this effect is relevant for flushing freshly drilled wells. Suspensions are driven through the cavity, and small debris is easily washed from the remains of work.

Body material

Early models were made entirely of aluminum. Such a body was easy to maintain, but it could be covered with build-ups, and also underwent corrosive processes in some places.

In the current environment, manufacturers offer plastic enclosures. They are also comfortable when working with water, but are not exposed to rust. The disadvantage of such specimens is the significant fragility of the body elements.

Popular questions

Which is better for a private house: a vibrating or centrifugal borehole pump?

At first, vibratory designs were very popular, but over time they were replaced by more powerful and efficient centrifugal designs.

The first option is suitable for small household needs - pumping water from a pit, watering a site, cleaning a well. However, it can work with varying degrees of pollution.

The centrifugal borehole, in spite of its considerable power, cannot cope with even small pollution. It works only with clean media, therefore it is not very suitable for pumping water from a basement or well.

Do I need to use a voltage regulator?

No doubt about it. For any technique, a voltage stabilizer is an indispensable element that ensures stable operation even with significant voltage fluctuations.

The stabilizer is especially relevant in country houses and dacha cooperatives, where sharp jumps are often observed. Capable of disabling any equipment, especially pumps. Considering that this is not a warranty case, you will not have to count on replacement or repair even during the warranty period.

Which is the best pump - "Trickle" or "Kid"?

These two models are absolute leaders in the domestic market. This is due to the affordable price, maintainability, and sufficiently high quality characteristics. In fact, there is no fundamental difference in visual perception and design.

"Stream"

In terms of the number of sales, the first place is occupied by the "Trickle" made in Belarus, followed by the domestic development "Malysh", manufactured in the village of Bavleny in the Vladimir region. In terms of price and characteristics, they are located in the same row.

It makes no sense to give recommendations which one is better, since they are almost identical. The only thing we can advise is to focus on the previous model, since experience with a certain brand will make it possible to objectively assess its advantages and disadvantages.

Well Submersible Vibrating Pump

In the next article, we got acquainted with borehole pumps, their types, learned how to choose them correctly and calculate them for a trouble-free water supply to our country house. In one of the points, vibration pumps were mentioned as a fairly common phenomenon inside the well. And this is despite the fact that these devices should not be there, because they are intended for wells, pumping water from basements, reservoirs, reservoirs, etc. The reason for using vibrating pumps in a well is simple - money. Despite all the risks and warnings, the situation is not changing.

Considering all of the above, you cannot just leave this topic aside. Let's take a brief overview of the most popular models of vibration pumps for wells, consider their technical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, price / quality ratio, and more.

Well submersible pump Kid

Probably the most famous and common vibrator on the market. This is just the center of attraction for summer residents, and the reason for this is simple - the low price. It works from a 220 V network and this household pump is most often used to pump water out of a well. Also, summer residents and workers at the dacha often lower it into a well, for which they then get a bunch of troubles and financial problems, but let's not rush.

The Kid series consists of several models:

• Kid.
• Kid-M.
• Kid-K.
• Kid-Z.

The first option is the simplest and cheapest base model. This is a classic vibrating pump Kid with a bottom water intake.

Kid characteristics:

The price of a vibrating pump Kid starts from 1100 rubles.

Malysh-M - differs from Malysh in that the upper water intake is implemented in it. This approach allows for better cooling of the electric motor and somewhat reduces the intake of foreign bodies in the water.
The price of the Malysh-M water pump starts at 1400 rubles.
Kid-K - the same basic Kid, but equipped with an overheating protection system. Water intake - bottom.
The price of the Malysh-K pump starts from 1700 rubles.
Kid-3 is a smaller and lighter (up to 3.2 kg) version of Kid-M, the diameter of such a pump is 76 mm (3 inches). The power is reduced to 160 W. Water intake - top. The head of Kid-3 is 20 m.
You can buy the Malysh-3 pump at a price of around 1,500 rubles. and higher.

Among other things, such pumps are produced by a number of companies, both Russian and Chinese. The best choice would be to purchase the Malysh-M or Z version, depending on the diameter of the well. The place of production does not play a big role, but for complacency you can buy the Kid from the CIS factories.
According to the reviews of summer residents, as well as from practical experience, we can say that the reliability of the baby pump is at the level of "as lucky", sometimes they serve for a long time, and sometimes 2 days. On average, it should last 1-2 years, after which you buy a new Kid, or an inexpensive centrifugal one, like Aquarius. There are legends about Babies who have worked for 15-20 years ... it is possible, the quality of those vibration pumps was much higher than the current one.
In general, the usual, classic model.

Vibrating in the process, the Kid slowly but surely destroys the well, in addition, the pump often gets stuck in it, often falls and presents a lot of other unpleasant surprises. Having saved 10,000 rubles. on the pump, you will have to pay 30,000-40,000 thousand rubles to restore the well.

Vibrating submersible pump Trickle

The next popular option is Trickle, a pump from Belarus. Produced both in its homeland and in China. The pump is almost completely similar to the above and is available in 2 versions:

• Brook-1.
• Brook-1M.
