centrifugal pumps are not designed to lift from the suction side

no idea what Violenti was referring to re the head
could be a measurement 'problem'
The measurement 'problem', is not having an accurate way to measure the flow in an in-line circuit, so all I can do is speculate about it

though a res may store the same energy as potential kenetic, so the 2 systems may end up having no advantage one over the other anyway...
