Finding a suitable sprinkler pump depends on what you'll be using it for. I'll assume that you're a private citizen and you're doing your research into sprinkler pumps to water your garden. There are many kinds of lawn sprinkler pumps available and if you're on the verge of buying one then hopefully what's written here will help you with your research.
Lawn sprinkler pumps are used in most instances to irrigate large gardens, farm land and grassy areas. How big is the area that you need watered? The larger the area the more powerful a pump you'll need and also you'll require more hose pipes and sprinklers coming from the pump in order to water the area.
Do you have a nearby stream or river? Perhaps you collect rain water in your own barrels and so you have a readily available and easy access to water. In which case this is perfect. All you'll need to do is set up the sprinkler near your source, dip a hose into it and the pump will suck the water from source to destination.
Do you have neighbors nearby? In which case you'll have to consider the noise! Some pumps are very noisy but as a general rule of thumb, the smaller the pump the quieter.
You'll also need to check the duration that the pump will work for. Some pumps only work for periods of 15 minutes out of every hour. This is because they need to prime themselves, however you can purchase pumps that work continuously in all situations, terrains and temperatures.
