    Completely gutting the system and going with 3 impeller pumps, certainly has some pros, but cost effectiveness is not one of them. Since each sac already has an aerator drain pump system, at minimum, one could pull the main fill pump and valves and install a manifold that house 3 800 GPH aerator pumps. Common intake, rework the plumbing and wiring, and you're done. Far less expensive then 3 impeller pumps, although not as fast, but still faster then pushing through the sprinkler valves.

    Default Ballast pumps, sprinkler valves..?

    $$$ reversibles
    $$ 1200s with additional intakes and check valves
    $ 800s on a manifold
    Or save your money IMO

    Skip the 800 ones unless they are to upgrade your drain pumps as they fail. Use a few of these and plumb them in.

    I would suggest the T1200 with the 1" inlet, as opposed to the 1.125" inlet in that link. Too hard to deal with. Plenty of 1" marine plumbing out there.

    Where do you get that one? I just order the fittings that work with it from Wakemakers.

    That Fly High W747 .75 MST x 1.125 FPT greatly reduces the flow of the T1200. Almost to that of the T800. This has been measured.

    You can fit the 1" lines over the 1.125" inlet. Takes a little persuasion but very doable.
    So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

    That's what I did. I just nuke a cup of water and dip it in there for 45 sec. or so and then push it on. Have to do the same thing with the pool hoses I use to hook up my solar heater in the spring.

    BTW, the first time I encountered the oddball 1 1/8" thread I didn't know what to do. So I sanded the threads off a little at a time and turned the inlet end into a 1" barb connector with 3 little barbs on it. Worked great for a low pressure system.
