Will anything be hurt by running a pump that has water in it but with a closed valve at the end? I'm thinking of using the blichmann autosparge and having a pump run from the HLT to the MLT through the autosparge. I'm assuming the autosparge wouldn't completely close but it would build a lot of pressure by being nearly closed when its almost at its set cutoff level. Would this hurt the pump?
