Has anyone used this? I'd like to rig up my MLT with one to use as a sparge arm and to clean. I'm not sure my little chugger pump can handle it though. Any advice?

Don't have one but the product description for the 1/2" version says "Operates on 15-100PSI, 40-60PSI is recommended".

I think the Chugger / March pumps are around 5 PSI.
 
I did some calculations and with the head and line length alone with GPM of my pump, it came out to around 4.5, so you're correct. Looks like I need a bigger pump.
