Re: watering


I was told that a submersable pump like the ones used for sump pumps
wouldn't work for using with sprinkler head.  I guess the pump wasn't
designed to handle the backpressure that the small orfice on the sprinkler
head would create when trying to push water through it.  Is this true, or
are they just trying to sell me a more expensive pump?
