Turf Boss Close-Coupled Self-Priming Pump

Technical Product Description:

The Franklin Electric Turf Boss Close-Coupled Self-Priming Pump is a premium self-priming centrifugal pump engineered to supply clean or grey water to timer-operated turf irrigation systems. Franklin Electric states that the Turf Boss is also suitable for other light-duty applications, including agricultural or nursery irrigation, wellpoint dewatering, car wash systems, residential water transfer, commercial dewatering, rainwater drainage, sump drainage, and industrial liquid transfer. As a premium self-priming sprinkler pump, it is CSA and UL approved for indoor or outdoor operation.  

The Turf Boss is built around a rugged cast iron pump casing and a close-coupled self-priming design intended to provide dependable operation and straightforward servicing. Franklin’s official product pages show the series available in single-phase pumps, three-phase pumps, and pump-end only configurations, giving users flexibility for replacement or new installations.  

Published Franklin and distributor model information indicates that Turf Boss pumps are available in multiple horsepower and size configurations. Examples include 1 to 2 HP series pumps, as well as larger units such as 3 HP and 5 HP models. Specific listed examples include 1.5” FNPT suction and discharge on certain pump-end models, while larger models are listed with 2” NPT discharge, confirming that final connection size, motor type, and electrical configuration depend on the exact model selected.  

Additional seller specifications for some Turf Boss variants list capacities up to 70 GPM, heads up to 130 feet, maximum working pressure of 75 PSI, and maximum liquid temperature of 120°F for smaller models. Other listed examples show higher-capacity 5 HP versions, so hydraulic performance varies across the series. These details should be confirmed against the specific Turf Boss model number being selected.
