That's definitely NOT recommended Dennis, as running it dry will damage the pump and that would NOT be a warrantied failure. If you prefer to have something automatic, you might then consider the LB480A.

Answer
Jason,
Thank you for your interest in Water Pumps Direct. Before I can answer your question, I would need to know the following:
Total head (suction & discharge lift)-
Total pumping distance from the water source to the pump and from the pump to the furthest sprinkler head-
Piping diameter on your suction and discharge (if already laid)-
Total GPM & PSI requirements-
Once you can provide this information, I'll be happy to assist you further.
