Have 9 Zones in 1.5 acres of lawn/plants (160 x 450 ft) total 92 heads; 1 planter=19 low vol. heads, 8 lawn zones=8 to 14 heads. Will 2 hp pump work?

I have 3 zones with 15 heads per zone with regular rain bird nozzles --not water saving--and it works great. Lost of pressure--this is a great pump My lawn sprinkler guy said that you needed a 2 hp with 80+pounds of pressure to make work with large head count.

I am irrigating 10 acres of grass I am running 20 large rain bird sprinklers to a zone it runs 2 zones with no problem I am very happy with this pump Am running 20 rain birds per zone it runs 2 zones with no problem

Am running 6 zones on 1 acre, 38 Hunter PGP's, max 8 heads on 1 zone....still have 40 psi when running

I run mine on 1/2 acre with 6 zones and 29 heads and it is great. There are a lot of variables for how well this would perform. I had mine professionally installed, and the installer was surprised by how low the pressure output was given the 2HP motor (32-35PSI). Again, that could be due to multiple factors. What I can say, is that this is a very solid pump and while it won't take the paint off of your neighbors car, it quietly and consistently gets the job done. This is not a two stage pump. I am not a professional, but given your lawn size and amount of heads per zone I would make me feel uncomfortable buying this. You may want to look into two stage irrigation pumps.

Depends on how much pressure of water pressure you want. I'm using the pump for home use. The 1 HP pump is sufficient for home use

depends on the size of the pump, but most are 1/3 or 1/2 HP and need less than 1000 watts, Its a safe bet this generator can handle it

It would probably get clogged and take forever to drain. I would use a $35 1/2 HP electrical pump if you can.

Yes, it will work. Check the discharge requirements for your system. Pumps with 2" in and 2" out are available.

Yes it should. What horsepower is your current pump? I replaced a 1hp pump and my pool is about 30,000 gal.

I wish is was a 1 HP pump but I am pretty sure the one I received has a 1/2 HP pump in it, at least the literature that came with it says it's a 1/2 HP. I have not acturally looked inside at the spec label on the pump but I have looked at the pump from outside and it looks like the size of a 1/2 HP pump. It's too small for a 1 HP pump. Plus a 1 HP grinder pump purchased just by its self would cost you at least $600 or $700.

it will, but depends on how much watering youre going to be doing .. if you need to run a sprinkler for a couple of hours to cover a huge area you need a bigger pump, i dont think this should be looked at as a 'constant duty' pump ... for instance, if you have a little 8X8 area you want to soak down for a few minutes it should be fine ..

I am not sure,I did buy it to use with my 1/2 HP,but I checked the amps on my pump first. I havent tried it yet

Yes I think it would work for you ok. Just don't fill it full. 4 gal. Is heavy. Just go with 2 gal. First time and see how that works. Very easy use and well made. I have one acre and it's great.

My pool is a 12x30 9ft deep pool. I replaced a 1hp pump witjh this one. It hasn't missed a beat. I the hp is comparable, you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes it will. I have a 1/2 hp 10 gpm submersible pump set to 50- 75psi. My well is for lawn irrigation and water trough for cattle. I have done this for years. A pump technician had suggested this to me to solve a "short cycling " problem. We regularly would hand water with one hose going and the pump was cutting off and on very frequently. I turned up pressure till the pump would run constantly with one hose only in operation. I also Highly recommend the low pressure cut off feature as this can save your pump if you run out of water.

Depends. Are you running it 115V or 230V. The pump is 1.5 hp. 1 hp = 745.7 watts. V x A = W or volts times amps = watts. 745.7 times 1.5 hp = 1118.5 1118.5w/230V = 4.86A 1118.5/115 = 9.73A Take your pick.

Metricspork answered and the answer is yes. I am using 1 now and the pump keeps up and produces 40 psi.

This pump has 4 speeds and will do a great job with what you are trying to accomplish. Depending on your pool's capacity and filter type, you will probably be able to run it normally at the second speed and then use the 3rd or 4th speed for when you run your rover. Since you are replacing a 1 HP with a 3 HP VFD, you will see a measurable difference.

1.5 HP is the rating of the horsepower of your pump, not the electrical ratings i.e. 120/220 volts and 15/20 amps. This is rated for 15A. however the full ratings for this, state 1HP http://www.intermatic.com/en/Products/Pool_and_Spa/Specialty_Controls/Portable_Outdoor_Timers/P1100_Series/P1131.aspx which im guessing is refering to the pump it will be connected to. It doesnt make sense to rate electrical equipment like this with HP.

It depends on the size of the wire and the cord. It should work. That size pump should have a #10 or #12 size wire and it must be grounded. There is not that much difference between 1/3 HP and 1/2 HP power requirements. It would be best to ask the manufacturer of your pump to be sure. Good luck!
