I bought a 2" gas water pump from Ebay capable of 150gpm. I would like to set up a means of watering the garden using water from the pond. I wish this to be temporary, as I would like to break it down during off season. I was thinking of using the typical 2" suction hose/floating strainer from the pond to the pump (aprox 10' w/1' lift.) Then maybe go to the 2" discharge type hose from the pump to the garden (aprox 250' w/maybe a 20' drop.) Once at the garden, I was thinking of splitting it down to a couple short garden hoses connected to regular lawn sprinklers. My thoughts were that the pump will run 2.5 hours at full capacity on a tank of gas. Obviously the lawn type sprinkers are not rated for a high GPM, so the pump would probably idle or mid-range. What do you guys think?
