Is the gph still 6,000 with 60 feet of head in 2 inch pipe that is 900 feet long?

September 11, 2010

Answers

At 60 feet of head the GPH is 7100. However, once you add in 900 feet of pipe the additional length and friction inside the pipe will definitely slow the GPH down (no way for us to tell how much).

is it a open or cloesed empeller?

Details:

im am pumping water out of a holding tank 15' above ground level and 10 in the ground ( tank is 25' long buried 10' ) thru a 2" hose 80 ft to a 1 1/4" sprinler head watering an arena will the pump hold up the the pressure required to shoot the water and cover the 160' radius?

Anonymous

September 2, 2010

Answers

The impeller on this unit is enclosed. This pump has a maximum suction lift of 26' so it will be able to draw water all the way from the bottom of your holding tank. The distance that you are pushing the water will not make a big difference in the flow of the pump unless you are pushing the water up hill. This pump is capable of pushing a stream of water 160 ft with the proper setup. Contact your local irrigation specialist for information specific to your application.

Deadhead time?

Details:

If the discharge hose is shut off, (Deadhead) how long will this pump last before overheating or being damaged?

September 9, 2010

Answers

For this NorthStar pump, we can not recommend deadhead specifications because it would damage the pump in many different ways, we do not even recommend reducing the hoses to a smaller diameter because it would even damage the pump.

Will this pump handle a small solid that would pass a standard strainer which is approximately 1/8"

Anonymous

September 18, 2010

Answers

This pump is not made to pass solids of any kind. The strainer that is included with this unit is sufficient to keep these solids out of the pump, however care should be taken to keep the inlet away from the bottom of the water source so that this strainer does not become clogged.

Recirculation

Details:

I have a nozzle that will flow 50GPM at 60PSI. Will the pump produce what I need without damage or will I need to recirculate excess to keep output flow at X GPM for 60PSI?

Thanks

This is a non-positive displacement pump so the smaller GPM nozzle will not hurt the pump. We are unable to provide information as to range performance that it will provide.

Minimum Flow

Details:

I want to use this pump as a fire fighting pump with a medium sized storage tank as the water source and a fire hose on the outlet. For 1 man operation I will occasionally have to shut off the hose without stopping the motor. To solve this problem I want to use an auto recirculation valve to recycle the water back into the tank when the hose is shut off. What is the minimum flow for this pump with the motor at full throttle? What valve would you recommend?

TCollins

September 14, 2010

Answers

The minimum flow for this pump is 1370 gallons per hour. At this time we do not offer a valve that will recirculate automatically at a given pressure. I would recommend that you contact your local irrigation specialist to find such a product.

Would it damage the pump if the discharge was connected to a manifold & split into (2) 1 inch lines W sprinkler? How far will pump move clear water?

ditchh2o

(read all my Q&A)

July 31, 2010

Answers

That all depends Ditchh20. It would not hurt the pump if it was split but it would hurt the pump if you dead-headed it. I would be more concerned with the sprinklers handling the PSI than I would be the pump to be honest with you. Also, the pump will push clear water pretty far. It is impossible to answer your question to 100% without knowing more about the area, its geography, and its elevation swings.

The pump would be able to be connected to a manifold splitting it into two separate 1" hoses without damage to the pump. However, it's a good idea to have a short section of the 2” hose on the outlet prior to splitting.

This pump saved my garden! This is a great pump and it far exceeded my expectations.Within an hour of opening it I hooked it up to 500' of 11/2'' hose and proceeded to run a very large impulse sprinkler to irrigate my 1 acre garden.The wetted circle was aprox.200'.This pump has run flawlesly and starts on the first pull every time.The pressure from such a small pump is incredible A great value for the money.I would highly recommend this pump. August 13, 2012

Northstar/Honda powered Irrigation pump I needed an irrigation pump to replace an old one, probably underpowered for the job. My garden irrigation system includes running 8 pulsing, rotating sprinkler heads connected with 1" poly pipe to a gas pump at a pond 25' lower. I added a 2" suction, 25' 2" discharge to a gated manifold I built to the 1" poly. The new pump has performed above my expectation powering all 8 heads at once. I also added a timer with a connection from ground to the On/Off switch connection allowing me to set the run time. Highly recommended. August 13, 2012

Great irrigation pump Bought this pump to irrigate about 25 acres of pasture. It arrived in 3 days. It usually starts on 1st pull. Seems to have plenty of flow and pressure and fairly easy on gas (about 2-2.5 hrs run-time at full throttle). It is sucking creek water about 10' straight up and then pushing through 600' of lay-flat hose to drive a Sime Hidra 1-1/2" sprinkler head. I'm getting almost a 200' wetted circle and about 1" equivalent rainfall in 2 hrs of run-time. It's been running almost non-stop for the last 2 days except nighttime. Don't forget to fill with oil on arrival and service it frequently. These small Honda engines are terrific. Only downside is that the "manual bag" was missing from the box so I have no rubber feet on it yet (it's sitting on dirt anyways) and I didn't get a printed manual but I just downloaded it above. Get the manual for the engine also ... search for "honda gx160ut2qx2" on northerntool.com website. That's the only place it told what motor oil to use. July 4, 2012

great product!! This pump works flawlessly. Its everything advertised and more. Couldn't ask for a better solution to my needs October 17, 2011

Good pump I use this pump for irrigation, and have had no problems wit pretty continuouo use. It primes itself and runs two large sprinklers plus a large sprinkler on a 1.25 hose reel. I adjust the engine speed to maximize run time. It could use a larger gas tank. October 10, 2011

Great Pump.... Temporary pump for pasture irrigation has been the Initial use, and without issues. Starts easy, primes 2 inch hose from 4 foot static head. Good on fuel, and has sufficient pressure. Easy to transport, i. e., light enough to manually lift and carry. Could use a bigger fuel tank though. July 16, 2011

High pressure pump I bought this pump to irrigate 2 large garden plots from the creek that runs through our farm. I use a 2" foot valve (also purchased @ Northern) on the end of the suction hose, 2" discharge to a Nelson Big Gun that throws water approx 150'. Prior to getting the Nelson I used 2 Melnor sprinkler heads to accomplish the same coverage. The pump is excellent in all ways. I fill the tank and let it run until it runs out. Keeping everything watered during this mini drought.... Hoping for rain! June 14, 2011

best pump for the money I bought this to move water up the mountain. It did what I needed and more. It definetly passed my expectations. I would definetly recommend this pump. I will be using this pump to move water up 1,000 feet and then about 700 feet to irrigate 5 acres of crops. December 2, 2010

North Star High Pressure water pump Over the years I have tried several different pumps for watering my lawn and garden. I live next to a river which is 97' below where my home is located and about 450' away. I purchased this pump in May of this year. I am pumping through a 2" hose with a fire nozzle on the end of the hose. I was pleasantly surprised at the pressure and volume that this pump can put out. I have roughly 15 hours on the pump and by my calculations, I have pumped over a 100,000 gallons of water. Needless to say I have one of the best gardens, and the greenest lawn in town. I am the envy of the town. Thank you for a product that does what you say it will do SteveC September 1, 2010

Excellent Starts the first pull every time. We push this pump to the MAX and it keeps delivering. Have owned for 8 months now and its seen five states worth of hard 8-12 hour days 7 days a week work. It's like Mike Rowe says, "Sometimes it just works." This puppy works every time. A+ from me. August 30, 2010
