Just ran a sand well point 22 ft in the ground and in 5 feet of water. I have a 1hp Goulds JS10 pump with 1 1/4 inlet and 1” outlets to my sprinklers. I have the switch set to 60/40.
I have 6 rainbird 5000 heads on a zone. When I try to run all 6 im only getting 22 psi from the pump. When I run only 3 of the heads Im getting 42 psi which seems to work well. When I run a garden hose it reaches the 60psi and shuts off then turns back on at 40.
Should I be able to run all 6 heads with that pump?

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
