Thanks Lando,
I have checked some pump listings online and they don't really say what the psi rating is. It makes sense though that I would have to match the house pressure for the filter to work properly.

I think that it should be possible to go from "2 gallons waste for every 1 gallon used" to something closer to 1:1. Of course this may decrease the life expectancy of my filter cartridges too.
Just the benefit of not dumping my filter water down the drain but putting it to good use... I can see it saving thousands and thousands of gallons of water.
