Which pump is better for a large lawn sprinkler system?

The Red Lion. Its 71 GPM flow and 44 PSI support more sprinkler heads, and its 2-inch suction and 1-1/2-inch discharge fittings move more water.

Which one fits an existing small irrigation setup?

The VEVOR. Its 1-1/4-inch inlet and 1-inch outlet match common small systems, so you are less likely to redo piping.

Is the Red Lion worth the extra cost?

Only if you need the higher flow and pressure or the larger fittings. No Red Lion price was given, so check current store prices before deciding.

Do both run on 115 V and 230 V?

Yes. Both are dual voltage. The VEVOR ships set to 230 V and can be switched to 115 V.

How deep can each pump draw water from?

Both are rated for about 25 ft of lift. That suits shallow wells, ponds and lakes, not deep wells.

Both use cast iron bodies. The VEVOR adds a rear cooling vent and thermal overload protection. Neither listing gives a service life figure.

VEVOR 1.5 HP Cast Iron Sprinkler/Irrigation Pump, 115/230 Volt, 66 GPM 3450 RPM Shallow Well Jet Water Pump Booster, 1'' NPT Outlet 1-1/4'' vs Red Lion SPRK150 1.5 Horsepower 71 GPM Cast Iron Lawn Irrigation Sprinkler Pump

Buy the Red Lion SPRK150 if you are plumbing a new sprinkler system with 2-inch suction and 1.5-inch discharge pipe and want higher pressure at the heads. Buy the VEVOR if your existing system uses 1-1/4-inch suction and 1-inch outlet fittings or you want the lower price. The VEVOR is the cheaper of the two, but no current price was given for the Red Lion, so compare live store prices before deciding.
