Ok, here goes:

Motor and pump model: k48a34a06, SJ20
Motor amp rating: 9.4 Motor max amps: 13.9

Irrigation results:

Zone #1 with 3 heads: 82psi, 8.8 amps

Zone #2 with 5 heads: 75psi, 8.9 amps

Zone #3 with 6 heads: 71psi, 9.1 amps

Zone #4 with 9 heads: 49psi, 9.3 amps

Bob,
You are right about the increase in amps with the bigger zones, but the amps are staying below the motor's rating.

Ok, your good to go. Put a shed over the Pump so that anyone who comes along who knows about Pumps won't give you a hard time about why you have such a large Pump on such a small irrigation system.;)

Uh Uh UH, hold on there. You can't prove them wrong using that Pump. That's what the Dog House is for, to disguise the Pump. When you get that 3/4hp Jet Pump in there, then you can show off.:p

Well, you'll be glad to hear the pump is mounted inside my shed. You wouldn't even know that I have a well. All the pipes go thru the shed floor and straight into the ground. :cool:
