Goulds GT15 IRRI-GATOR Pump vs Flotec 1.5 HP Cast Iron Sprinkler Pump

Buy the Goulds GT15 for irrigation that needs real pressure or lift: it is a cast-iron, self-priming centrifugal pump rated to 128 ft of head and 53 psi shut-off, with a back pull-out design and a stainless wear ring for abrasive water. The Flotec is a lighter fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic sprinkler pump with a lower head ceiling (about 30-40 ft) and 47 psi max, so it suits lawn watering and shallow lift where pressure demand is modest. Owners rate the Goulds highly on build and serviceability; the Flotec is the simpler, lighter choice for basic sprinkler duty.

• Choose the Goulds GT15 if you need high head, strong pressure, or a serviceable cast-iron pump for a large lawn, garden, or water transfer from a deep source.
• Choose the Flotec if you are watering a typical lawn from a shallow source and want a lighter, simpler sprinkler pump.
