Red Lion 2 HP Cast Iron Sprinkler Pump

Description

Boost water pressure for commercial turf irrigation, field crops, and landscape nurseries. The Red Lion 2 HP Cast Iron sprinkler pump moves high water volume from surface ponds and cisterns. A continuous-duty 2.0-horsepower motor turns an internal brass impeller. Centrifugal sprinkler pumps cannot lift water from depths greater than 25 feet.

Rugged cast-iron forms the massive pump volute, dampening vibration and resisting physical distortion under pressure. A heavy-gauge cast-iron bracket aligns the motor shaft straight to the pump seal chamber. The enclosed brass impeller resists cavitation erosion from mineral-heavy pond water. Dual-voltage motor windings support 115-volt or 230-volt wiring configurations. Standard 2-inch NPT suction and 1.5-inch discharge ports connect rigid pipes.

Irrigation Sprinkler Mechanical Details

Groundskeepers feed multiple sprinkler zones simultaneously from lake sources without pressure drop. The rugged cast-iron build endures outdoor seasonal exposure inside pump enclosures.

• Continuous-duty 2.0-horsepower motor operates on 115-volt or 230-volt power lines
• High-flow centrifugal brass impeller delivers 76 GPM for large multi-head sprinkler zones
• Heavy cast-iron pump housing absorbs mechanical stress and stops pipe vibration
• Enclosed brass impeller resists abrasive wear from suspended pond sand particles
• Carbon ceramic mechanical shaft seal prevents high-pressure leaks along drive shafts
• Standard 2-inch NPT suction port maintains high intake volume from water reservoirs
• Built-in priming port simplifies manual fluid fills before initial pump startup

Hydraulic Dyno Bench Telemetry

Dynamometer bench testing confirms the motor draws 11.2 Amps on 230-volt power under full 42 PSI irrigation line backpressure. Water output delivers 68 GPM from an 8-foot suction lift. Motor frame temperatures stabilize at 146°F after 3 continuous hours of watering. Sound meters record 72 dBA at 2 meters distance from the pump casing.

Field Application Operator Boundaries

You bolt this heavy cast pump onto concrete pads using standard foundation anchor bolts. The cast-iron housing resists freeze cracking when drained through the bottom port. Do not operate this pump without filling the water chamber before startup. Running the brass impeller dry ruins the mechanical shaft seal within two minutes.

• Prime the pump volute with clean water through the top plug before starting motor
• Check suction line joints for vacuum air leaks that prevent steady prime
• Drain the pump casing plug before winter storage to prevent freeze cracking

Factory Warranty Coverage Roster

Red Lion backs this cast-iron sprinkler pump with a 1-Year limited manufacturer warranty. The factory package contains the 2.0-horsepower sprinkler pump, priming plug, drain plug, and complete plumbing installation manual.
