Sprinkler Pump


Question
Josh,
Can you help me choose a pump to do the following.
In a school located in the Caribbean Island (hard to find anything no fresh water) want to recycle from 2 inground grey water tank the water available from time to time to sprinkle on adjacent soccer field located from 200 to 400 feet away from the 2 tanks who are located about 200 feet from each other but approximately same distance from soccer field. Power is 110v 60hz (like on the USA I suppose).
Would like to either use fixed or portable (portable be a better option I guess, but will let you decide, submersible or not, again you are the expert)to allow to connect 3/4"standard garden hose and sprinklers at the end of each hose using Y. Pretty simple except that I tried to rent a sub-pump and the idea worked but the flow of pressure was very poor with 1 sprinkler and when tried with 2 it was inexistent. Eventually the pump burned out. I can buy almost anything online from here and have it deliver to Miami who will forward it to me so any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Of course warranty will be useless because of my location so I rather get something strong to avoid possible repair issues (although that I know that it is a possibility). Looking forward to your reply and who knows your visit one of this days to our island of Antigua (you can see the pump working)!!!
Sincerely,Didier

I have been to Antigua - had some Mount Gay Rum - took a tour of an underground cavern/mine - and went swimming on the beaches... I also am a  H U G E  soccer fan so I am very excited to help you. Your request revolves around what I do every day for my job - irrigation design. I dont think this is the best forum for emailing back-and-forth. Would you be willing to transfer this to my work e-mail address and then I can help you during the week?
