Reply With QuoteA ½ HP jet pump can add about 40 PSI to 12 GPM flow. So yes it could help. Are you boosting city water?

yes i'm using city water.you say @60psi a1/2hp pump will boost my pressure up more on a 3/4 inch line.
As long as you are not using more than 12 GPM, the 1/2 HP pump will add 40 PSI to the city pressure. If the city pressure is 20, you will be getting 60 PSI.
thank you.i have 60lbs now ,will it bring me up to 70psi?
You'd be better off trying to rework the sprinklers, like trying smaller nozzles in them, which can make them spray further. A better match as a booster would be a 1/3 horsepower jet pump, but they can be hard to find.
A 1/2 HP will add 40 PSI to whatever is coming in. 60 coming in, 100 going out, unless you regulate it with something, like a Cycle Stop Valve.
