Hey guys, I was wondering if restricting the flow of water going out of my hose will affect in any way the All-flo that I have.For example, if I want to cut my flow to 1/2,if I am up close to the surface, or close to an edge, does the back pressure harm the pump in anyway?May seem like a dumb question for some, but I have no previous experience with this setup. Thanks Mike

No it will not hurt the pump.

That's one of the benefits of AOD pumps...they are made for back pressure in order to shut off. When the air and liquid pressure equalizes it enters a mode known as dead headhmm until the pressure is offset again.

Back pressure does not harm any air diaphragm pump unless the back pressure exceeds the rating of the pump. All-flo pumps can handle up to 120 psi.

The main thing I've found is watching out for moisture. Make sue you open the desicant filter frequently. It will stoop spraying if moisture build up
