They are very nice pumps.

They are also designed to operate against some amount of back-pressure, otherwise you will get the cavitation. Only the RX series are designed to operate against no back-pressure at all.

Assuming you're on US 60Hz power, the plain R's are designed to run at no higher than around 10-12LPM before you'll probably start to experience some cavitation.
