[QUOTE="ken2m, post: 438262, member: 7269"] I was only stating that if your pump is running flat stick all the time there is no room for anything to go even slightly wrong. Things that could have a negative effect are pumping a further distance, pump flow and pressure reduced by leaking seals or impeller wear, a few leaves partially blocking the intake, longer intake hose. I have run a pump that was capable of 12,500 lpm at 135psi , when this pump had a vertical lift on the inlet of 6m and the outlet was connected to 250m of pipe the flow rate dropped to somewhere in the vicinity of 3,600 lpm. This is an extreme example but all the problems are real world problems and can have drastic effects on how well a pump works. Ken. [/QUOTE]
