Back pressures effect on pump life.
I have a pebble pond with a submersible pump.
I know this is a stupid question...but...
The pump that I purchased is a little too big (too much flow).
If I put a valve on the discharge end of the pump will the increase in back pressure place more strain on the pump and shorten the life of the pump?
Would it be better to put on a diverter and run the excess water back into the pond?
Thanks
