fountain too much pump preasure?

[michaelrj9]

I put in a 3 tier fountain with lights looks cool but wanted to make sure its not over working my pump.

I have a total of 5 outlets into the pool. For the fountain to look normal I had to block off 2 outlets then use 1 more for the fountain of course. My preasure was always at 11.75-12. Now it is at 14 to 14.5.

Is that ok or should I not use the fountain?

Thanks

It's not a problem for the pump to run at that pressure. I know it's hard to understand but the pump is actually working less at the higher pressure than at the lower pressure.
