What would happen if i connected a jet shallow pump 3/4hp to a system (lateral)that required only 5 gpm. Flow out of the pump with no pressure (no resistance) is 9gpm. I have no pressure settings on this pump, turn it on and let it pump. Will the pump burn out as the resistance (5gpm) is not enough for the pump? i know that the pressure will increase as it tries to put 9 gpm out. have i got this right? just trying to size a system.
