Pressure head (vertically) = 8ft (at 8ft the water came out of the pipe, increasing it further resulted in a halt)

I was not able to conduct the tests proper because:

a) Since I had a temporary reservoir on top of the pump, I placed it directly under the tap. Lifting the pipe resulted in water oozing out of the reservoir.

b) The pipe (tubing) that I was using had a pin size hole.

Not so satisfactory results after all. You people be the judge and suggest. Should I accept this pump or look for alternatives?

Furthermore, I still do not understand that MCP5655 is rated 14ft pressure head while in loop the flow and pressure rate of this junk pump (washing machine pump) seems greater.
