Yeh, or running it backwards? But then 3 LPM or so can look like a dribble to some people when they've seen their pump run unrestricted.

We'll have to let tritonx quantify a "dribble"...

I don't use fancy smancy models in my rig: all I do is take published PQ graphs and turn them into a quadratic equation. I have the equations for 3/8" tubing, but the issue is that most tests of a block/rad/pump only do so with one barb size on. So, my model happily handles the head of a storm block, and the head of 3/8" tubing, but fails to take into consideration the impact of replacing 1/2" barbs with 3/8" barbs on the storm.
