[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1348225, member: 18945"] It also depends how far the run of output hose is going to be. When I first built my house in 2009, I was concerned about ruining my new well, and tried running a 2" hose from my pond using a 3x2 portable pump at the pond, to a pvc manifold at my yard about 300' feet away. I put 4 garden faucets on the manifold to water my new seeded lawn. I had only enough pressure and flow at wide open rpm to run one rainbird type sprinkler and even that was a not much more than peein. Open ended, the end of the 2" hose put out a lot of water, but not enough pressure most of the time to ratchet the rainbird sprinkler head around. It would run for about an hour on a tank of gas.
