I did some bucket testing today with huge success!!
All tests were performed with two 5 gallon buckets and timed from empty to fill of one 5 gallon bucket.

Configuration

Test 1. Factory set up. Time to fill 45sec GPH 391


Test 2. factory set up w/no solenoid spring. Time to fill 32sec GPH 604


Test 3. Factory pump no solenoid. Time to fill 28sec GPH 643


Notes: All tests conducted with 3/4 in hose. Results will vary with 1" factory hose.
Valve held in manual off with pump running no water leaking.

Jester, I was incorrect in stating that water will not pass backward through the valve. This is true both with and without the spring. The water that would pass through in this instance is minimal at best, and the same with and without the spring.

I am still thinking of adding the second rule pump to the main header with this configuration and see what I find.

Hope this helps! I was going to water test it but deceided after the tests to pull all the springs and keep them in the boat just in case.

Newty Out!
