I have installed several irrigation system but they have all been on city water with good pressure.
Now I am in Brazil building a house for the in-laws....
I have a swallow well with 4.5m depth. I am using a 1" pipe to the pump. The pump exit is 1" going to a 3000 liter tank about 8m high. I don't really care about how long it takes to fill, anything around 500 to a 1000 liters is fine. However I want to use the pump for irrigation also.
I am choosing a Schneider self priming centrifugal 3 phase pump rated at .75CV (MBA-ZL) I am an electrical engineer so I like 3 phase stuff. This gives me 10 GPM volume which is enough to feed 5 to 10 1806 rainbird heads. Don't have any large areas. This gives me about 10 zones. I could go to a 1CV pump and use less zones but I'd rather fill the water tank at a slower rate.
So the question..... will this work since I do not have a tank for the irrigation system... just pump direct to sprinkler heads. I do not want to use the 3000 liter tank because it is feed from the well and city water. The city water has no pressure to use for irrigation and better to use free water than chlorinated water.
Any input would be appreciated.... Just didn't want to buy this pump and then find out a different pump would have worked better for dual purposes...
