answer 1

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.

answer 2

The pump would be able to be connected to a manifold splitting it into two separate 1" hoses without damage to the pump. There is not a limit on the distance that this unit can pump water on a horizontal plain. If the water is being pumped up hill the maximum rise that the pump will be able to push water is 214 ft.

All of our NorthStar products use the best components available on the market making them high value and unbeatable quality.

Question

Does this pump have a trottle and if so can it be adjusted

I want to know this because i am interested in using this pump to pump water through a drip irrigation system and at times when only watering small areas the full 94 PSI may be a bit to much pressure and i would want to reduce it.

answer 1

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.

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.
