When high volumes of water are needed for the watering requirement, the lawn sprinkler system must be designed to draw water from wells, ponds, pool fillings, lakes or even underground. In such cases, you will need a reliable lawn sprinkler pump to draw large amounts of water from the source.
When selecting a lawn sprinkler pump, the most important thing to do is know all your requirements and available resources. You have to measure the length needed for the sprinkler system’s pipe run. Also take into consideration the pipe diameter to be used. This is important in order to minimize friction in the pipe since much friction will lessen the amount of water delivered at the end of the pipe.
How wide is the area that you need to cover must be considered to know how many stations the pump will be supporting. Then calculate the collective capacity of all the sprinkler heads you will use in gallons per minute (gpm). To arrive to this figure, just get the capacity of the sprinkler heads from the specification sheet and multiply it to the number of sprinkler heads that you will use.
From the information above, you will derive the specification of the pump that will best suite your application. Manufacturers provide information and chart that will help you size your pump. Most of this feature can be accessed through the Internet. Most models of lawn sprinkler pump are available from ¾ to 2 HP capacities.
Another consideration you have to watch for is the construction of the lawn sprinkler pump. Will it be able to stand rugged applications? Most variations of lawn sprinkler pump will come in a reliable cast iron casing and brackets. Choose pumps that are well-engineered and are operating smoothly and quietly. They should be designed to operate in long continuous hours without breaking up.
