will this pump generate enough pressure to operate a lawn sprinkler?

I don't know - as I only used it to drain water from my yard. My guess is that it would not.

I think that it would generate enough pressure but the pump would need to be sitting in water

It will work to some extent,although this is a very strong pump it still does not generate the pressure that you would get from your regular water spigot on the side or rear of your house.I never tried the pump before to operate a lawn sprinkler so just as an experiment I did.As I said, it did work but the sprinkler worked at about 1/2 to 2/3rds the pressure of your regular spigot So for a smaller area it worked fine but the coverage was not there for a larger area or lawn .You would just have to re-position your sprinkler several more times than the traditional set-up with your house spigot.

My husband says it would if the drip system has a governor on it to decrease the pressure.

I have not used this with low pressure, but moved to this particular model because of high pressure. I would say that because of the light construction of the sprinkler it should do well for you although you will not get the coverage expected with a high pressure system.

Yes. You attach a garden hose to run the sprinklers. I read a review that said they put a small pump in the pool and recycled the water. Obviously, using a GFI.

Not directly. If you have a pressurized system as soon as there is a demand for water the pump should activate. Otherwise no.

No, but as long as the pump is DC powered and it is no more than 0-24 volts (max rated controller voltage) you should be good

Hi Cynthia, this pump would do it, but there are better units available for your purpose. It has adequate pressure, but relatively low volume, which I estimate would be down to around 1.5 gallons per minute with your particular application. You really need to look for specifications of around 7 - 8 gpm and 60 - 70 PsiChrrs Chris

I have not tried to blow out sprinkler lines with this compressor. However it is a relatively small compressor and if your sprinkler system is anything like mine I would think it would be a stretch. So far I have found it ok for tire filling but would not recommend it for any high duty applications as it has a relatively low CFM rating.

This pump works with normal city water pressure. If the low pressure side of the regulator is normal city water pressure, the pump should be fine.

That is a good question. It doesn't appear to have high discharge pressure, so I don't think it would do too well. I have pumped from the ground level up higher with no real problem. Probably any sort of restriction would keep the flow way down. Keep in mind that the pump is driven by a battery.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think I would recommend it. You would probably run the chance of breaking part of the sprinkler system.

It will do that. It doesn't take much water to activate the pump. When I was pumping the water off the pool winter cover, it kept turning on whenever it detected more water and it didn't take very much at all. This pump is heads and tails above a Rule. Hope this helps !

No, does not produce enough pressure, mainly a volume pump. Works very well for water tubs, tow behind tubs, swimming pool bladders.

Probably not the most efficient use of this sprinkler. It's better for larger area coverage. I would recommend a circular oscillating sprinkler and control the coverage with water pressure.

It should. We have two of these pumps, one running about eight feet with an immediate rise about four feet. The second pump is pushing water though a 1.5" hose going 30-40ft with a 6 ft rise and their is no lose of power -- seems to operate with the same pressure as the shorter run -- based on our experience, I think you should be fine.

Yes, I use mine to water my Lawn. It runs my 3 impulse sprinklers all day 4 days a week in the summer.

If you are running a 12-volt system, you can run this pump. It generates good pressure and smooth flow with less noise than cheaper pumps. It stops when the tap is turned off. Good by me.
