Well pump for sprinkler

[Toba]

I have a centrifugal well pump working in a sand point to water the lawn. It is having a hard time running one simple lawn sprinkler. I don't know much on this topic, but would like to learn how to run more water on the lawn. Any help or experience is welcome.

How big is your well tank and do you know what kind of pressure you have?

Check your fittings, you might be sucking air somewhere. Is it priming properly? How much hose are you running? The shorter the hose, the more pressure. Longer hose restricts flow. Just a few ideas

I don't have a pressure tank. The pump came with the house and has been able to feed two sprinklers in past years. Would a small pressure tank help the process?

I have the same set up and put a tank in and same results I think the sand point is cloged or the pump is junk

Do yo have trees possably planted close to the irrigation lines where the roots could be grown around the pipe, choking it and limiting the amount of water it puts out?

You shouldn't need a tank for a sand point. They are designed to just pump directly. Might need to blow the line out again.

Long hose doesn't restrict flow, it just requires more pressure to charge the larger volume needed to fill the hose. Also there is friction loss that is compounded by more length.
