Test to see if the Pacer 2" pump can power two large 1.5" rain gun sprinklers. Then we'll see how much precipitation the sprinkler can drop in 1 hour. This is a big improvement for the irrigation on our small farm.

Thanks so much for the videos. I'm doing something similar, and your videos showed it is possible!

@PurpleCollarLife 3 года назад

That's such a great sprinkler!

@joshualjohnson 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. Sorry your pump didn’t handle two of the sprinklers but you saved me some money. I was going to use steel pipe to run mine till I saw you were using pvc. I had all the pvc I needed, just had to get a couple fittings. $8.56 later the rain gun was up and running. I’m reaching about 72 feet with the 2” pump from harbor freight with the predator 212cc engine. Pumps about 110 gal a minute.

Thanks for watching, Brad. Take care!

Sime makes some interesting sprinklers. I do not have any from them but I like their end gun impacts which is what u have. I seen 3 pivots with one of those rain guns at the end

@FlatCreekOutdoors 2 года назад

I've been pleased with it. It works really well

My gosh Phil you sure have come a long long way with your irrigation great job.

Thanks 👍 It'll only get harder as we add more and more trees every year

@TurkeyNate Год назад

How did you attach the quick connect to the PVC pipe? Thanks

@jlurch1 2 года назад

You should make a video of how you made the sprinkler.

@brentncindy9023 Год назад

Would the old pump have gotten u more pressure with the same 2” suction hose…..but maybe a 1 1/2” or 1” discharge hose to the sprinkler(s)?

@beingsneaky 9 дней назад

replace the trash pump's pump head . or i wonder if you can just replace the impeller? it is kind of hard just finding just pump heads though..

@rbljackson 2 года назад

You may have figured this out by now.....but if you have the smaller nozzles for each of those sprinklers, you could probably get the pressure back up by running the smaller nozzle in both sprinklers and regain that larger diameter you wanted. Then you could be watering with both sprinklers covering more ground.....and just run the pump a bit longer to get the amount of rainfall you need. OK...you mentioned that at the end......curious if that helped. LOL

@FlatCreekOutdoors 2 года назад

Hi thanks for the comment. I've found the best result is with one head on the pacer pump which puts out about 50psi it'll shoot over 80ft radius consistently and put out a better rain curtain over that distance.

@rbljackson 2 года назад

@@FlatCreekOutdoors .ive been researching which pump i want to get with my Big Sprinkler as well. Currently thinking I will spend the money on the Northstar model with the honda engine. I think its rated around 90 PSI on the top end. That would be enough to run two (I think) if I ever wanted to run two simultaneously.

@vtecmissle 20 дней назад

@@rbljackson it may not stack up that way that is restricted psi, redlion pumps are also good.

@kamhudson5557 2 года назад

Hi there. It’s been over a year but I just ran across your video. One thing that’s hurting the sprinklers is the main line your feeding them with. You need bigger main line for those sprinklers and a minimum of 80 PSI. Go to a 3 inch main line and tee off to the two sprinklers. That should pick your throw up. Good luck.

@FlatCreekOutdoors 2 года назад

Thanks for the info. My pumps have 2"output and the better one only goes about 60psi, so this is the best I can do for now without investing in a bigger setup.

@vtecmissle 20 дней назад

need a water reel

@kaf544 2 года назад

Great video! What is the horse power rating on your pump in this video?Thanks

@FlatCreekOutdoors 2 года назад

I think its around 5hp. I can't remember if its a Honda GC160 (4.5hp) or GC190 (5.2hp).

@kaf544 2 года назад

@BradMyers 3 года назад

Can you use your old pump to power one of the sprinklers so you would have two going, but needing to use two pumps?

@FlatCreekOutdoors 3 года назад

Definitely could do that. Just need to get a 2nd suction hose, or build one w/ PVC.

@banjo3751 8 месяцев назад

You can not use two different containers to measure water fall consistency.

@NelsonBigGunP200Fan 2 года назад

Do u have a 480v electrical run by your pond ? Or do u have a engine with a pto output ? You could get a bigger pump like a pto pump I've seen farmers run 200 nelson big guns with them and they get some amazing range. Maybe invest in a bigger pump and a nelson SR100 or SR150. If you have a bigger pump you could run 2 SR150s and get maybe about 100 150 feet possibly

How much horsepower of a pump is required to use a nelson sr150?

@NelsonBigGunP200Fan 2 года назад

@@godwinsmimshach6646 my 7hp pacer se2ul e950 ran my nelson p150 with a 1.08 nozzle but it was weak. It's 50psi and 195 gpm total. But with a .70 taper bore it ran much better
