Can partially closing a valve on the pump return line from the sump cause damage to the pump itself? Its a Rio 1700. I wouldn't think so, because A) the pump is submersed in water so the cooling is taken care of and B) it's actually just like having some extra 90 degree elbows in line. Just increases head pressure.
I'm not asking if this is the best idea or anything. Obviously it's undesirable. My overflow can handle the max flow of the 1700, but it's very loud. I don't even need that much flow through my sump, so I dialed the flow back a bit and it's 1000 times more quite.
