I'm going to bump this while at the same time making it easier to understand (re-reading it, it seems complicated!)
Anyways, will restricting the intake flow of water into my pump cause any problems by using a regulator valve for an automatic pool cleaner? The pump only has 1 setting. I'm afraid that by not being able to move all the water it wants to, that pressure will build up or something (maybe even cavitation?)? My inlet is a 1.5" pipe, but the suction is too strong for the auto vac. Would regulating it down to, say... 1/2" cause too much restriction?
