Thanks for replying.

What I did is took a bowl and filled it up with water. Filled the inlet with water too. Then placed this inlet tube in the bowl. However, as soon as the water in inlet tube is exhausted, flow stops and it does not suck water from bowl. Perhaps it needs to be continuously fed yet I cannot submerge the pump in bowl.

I can make a loop i.e. fill inlet with water and connect it to outlet but my aim is to verify 317GPH. i.e. There should be some way so that I can see the water while it’s flowing (outside the tubing), check it's pressure and take a gallon and verify the time required to fill it.
