Yep, Dwayne is correct. I have one of the larger models of these on my
splitter. At some pressure setpoint it switchs to the other stage to
get more pressure at reduced flow.
BTW is everything in NZ that expensive? I can buy a new pump, same
model as the auction was for, from multiple sources for US$120. That is
only NZ$200! Perhaps that's why it didn't sell...
