Re: Electric Pump for Drip In .4 GPM

Based on the information given... I would say the Sta-Rite model DHH would work. It is a 3hp self-priming centrifugal "D" Series. It will produce 106gpm at 30psi assuming no more than 5' of suction lift.
You stated you have 30,000 feet of Drip-In 24" w/ .4gph emitters. That would be 100gpm. Will the 30psi be enough? Not knowing all of the details about your system, I can not say for sure that this pump will work. You need to know how much pressure is lost through your piping and fixtures.
If it turns out you require more pressure at the start, a 5hp, model DHJ, might be called for. This pump would give you 50psi with 119gpm.
Let us know how you would like to proceed. Both pumps are available immediately.
Thanks!
