The Goulds GT10 is a single stage centrifugal pump that is usually used for irrigation and sprinkling. It has a shutoff head of about 51 psi. You would typically operate it at about 35 to 40 psi at which head it would give you 30 to 35 GPM if operating from a tank with flooded inlet to the pump.
You should determine the GPM and pressure you need, and determine if you can use a single stage or if you need a multistage pump.
If you need more pressure and high flow, you will need a multistage centrifugal, or a larger single stage centrifugal that will also give you much more flow (perhaps 60 to 80 GPM). If you want a really lot of pressure, you may want to use a submersible, which has special considerations when used in a tank.
If you need only a bit more pressure and limited flow, you can use a shallow well jet pump.
The correct process is, determine your needs (flow rate and pressure), and then select the pump to do the job with a bit of margin so you won't be disappointed when the pump wears a bit and you have more pipe losses than expected.
Using a pressure switch that turns the pump on and off while the irrigation system is running can be disappointing because you have a lot of variation at the limits of the pressure switch settings. It is best to try to match the sprinkler demand to the pump and use the pressure switch only to turn the pump on when the sprinklers come on and shut the pump off when the sprinklers go off. Match your sprinkler flow, pump flow, and switch settings so the pump is running steadily at the required pressure and flow when the sprinklers are on.
If you are operating near the most efficient operating point, you can cut back the flow (number of sprinkler heads) until you get the pressure that you want (within the capability of the pump) and the pump will run continuosly at contant pressure until you shut off the sprinklers.
