SPRINKLER TALK FORUM - You Got Questions, We've Got Answers

Hey all, Happy New Year!
I'm posting from my phone while at work so I'll give more info when I'm home. Anyhow, I have a 1.5hp pump that draws water from a well. I'm assuming it was put there when house was constructed in early '04. House is on a lake but I'm not sure if it draws water from the lake. I've seen in my pedal boat some neighbors have a pipe extending into the lake but I don't see that for mine. Perhaps neighbor did his on his own and not with contractor during preconstuction.

So, my sprinklers were working fine less than a week ago and I went to go turn them on recently but no water was coming out. As far as I can tell it sounds the same as it was when working, only sounds a little different when I turn it off. Sort of a dry running sound. No change have been made except I removed this SprinkleRite system from the drain hole because it didn't have enough suction so it wasn't working anyway and plugged the drain hole back up. The spinklerite system has been here since I bought the house also, but never worked due to lack of suction by pump through the drain plug. I ordered the correct drill and tap to install it directly through the PVC intake but now discovered no water is being pumped out through sprinklers. They were working even after I put the drain plug in though.

I guess that's about all I can tell you, looking forward for some answers. Young first time home owner is desperate and so is my dying lawn.

Thanks
