I have a few questions about how booster pumps work in a system:
- After they are "primed", do you shut the circulation pump shut down?
- If you have a variable speed circulation pump, would it be more efficient just to increase it's speed? For example, if I was running my VS pump at 20 gpm, but wanted 60 gpm for a solar array, would it make sense just to increase the circulation pump to 60?
- Does a T before the booster pump effect its output, or does it just work "harder" to produce that output?
