Why do you need a sprinkler pump?

Sprinkler pumps transport water from a lake or pond to supply irrigation for a lawn or garden. Because they are designed to move large volumes of water, sprinkler pumps are also useful in high-volume applications such as filling pools, water transfer, and boosting household water pressure.

What size sprinkler pump to you need?

For pump replacement, simply select the same horsepower (hp) as your current pump.

When selecting a new sprinkler pump, use the following steps to easily determine the needed size:

Suction lift and the number of sprinkler heads operating at any given time are the key determining factors in selecting a sprinkler pump. Determine the number of heads and multiply them by 3. The sum (gpm requirement) should be compared with the pump performance chart found on the pump carton. Find the pump that will deliver your gpm requirement at the suction lift distance determined performing at 30 psi.

Cold Weather Tips

To winterize your system, drain it completely before freezing temperatures arrive. Some systems can be drained by opening the main drain valve(s) or by blowing out the system using compressed air. Never exceed 50 psi and always wear proper eye protection. If done improperly, your sprinkler system could be damaged or you could be seriously injured. If you’re not sure which method is best for your system, hire a professional to perform your system’s winterization. Once the system is drained, ensure your controller has been turned off and disconnect the power to your pump. In the spring, remember to prime the pump and reconnect it to your power source.
