Can this pump deliver good pressure to 4 impulse roof-top sprinklers in case of wild fire?

You can get a more satisfying answer from your local fire dept. I use this unit in a different capacity.

Hi, I did have one of these. Very good little pump. wouldn't draw water from a source deeper than seven to ten feet deep. Pressure was sufficient to run an instant propane hot water shower. Worked very well in fact. Yes there was a built in pressure regulator. I recommend this for camping/ RV / any sort of backcountry house with no mains. Worked well and rugged.

This unit only requires a .4 GPM flow rate to ignite. Your water pressure has little to do with it, so it will likely work just fine. That said, if your water pressure is "all over the place", you may need a new pressure tank. It has a pressurized bladder in it that helps stabilize the water pressure as the pump turns on and off. I have a well, and the water heater works great, by the way. Good luck.

The pump doesn't have the pressure to spray the distances that a fire pump can, but with the right nossle, I have been able to deliver a 25' spray. That said, if IOU use a lay flat hose like the fire. Department does, any kink can stol the flow.

I believe you will not be satisfied with this pump in that application. It move a fairly high volume of water a low pressure on an almost level plane, such as from the bilge of a small boat. Pumping 7 feet elevation will really tax its capacity.

I have four of them and really like them. They seem to put more water out than conventional impulse sprinklers. The droplets are larger and the radius larger also

i would say yes ...THis pump is not made for a head over 5-6 ft.Perfect for a location not easy to get electric to.Good luck

I would think so but, have no proof of that. My pump has great pressure but, only pushes up 4 or five feet.

Hugh, I'm not sure. You could look at www.sprinklerwarehouse.com and ask that question.

yes just get a spike base with a in and out hose connection, these sprinklers work great

I think that it would generate enough pressure but the pump would need to be sitting in water

I'm not sure but I would think so. Its pump action, so it shoots when you pump. It does not build up pressure like other soakers.

I would say, in my experience no problem. I am pumping up 15 ft before the pump and running with PVC and Garden hose at least 50ft after the pump with 3 Rain Bird sprinkler heads and it works great. As I said in my review, make sure you buy a foot valve and prime both the pipe and the pump to get it started. Also use PVC and not garden hose to pull the water up the vertical haul. I like the pump. It works great for me.

the pressure would be too much on a regular garden hose and most sprinklers would be too weak..you would have to use a commercial sprinkler

It should work just fine as long as the pump is in a well ventilated location with good air flow.

It seems to work on low pressure as well as any similar sprinkler. It leaks where the hose screws in no matter how tight I tighten it. The tripod part works quite well.

Hi Cynthia, this pump would do it, but there are better units available for your purpose. It has adequate pressure, but relatively low volume, which I estimate would be down to around 1.5 gallons per minute with your particular application. You really need to look for specifications of around 7 - 8 gpm and 60 - 70 PsiChrrs Chris
