Yeah, it is what it is. I did some playing around yesterday with the 50gpm pump. I am able to fill my cistern and the stock tank at the same time. Since it is plumbed with a 'T'...some water goes to the pond and some to my cistern. I can adjust flow to either with the ball valves. Really hard not to just pipe this thing straight to the pressure tank. I know it supposedly cannot create 60psi at 50gpm, but running through a 1" pipe with a ball valve to the pressure tank sure seems like it could....it won't do it?
