A rule of thumb we use when spec'ing out pumps (equipment) is double the amount required, so you are on the center of the curve (BEP).
The curve begins at the point of zero flow, or shutoff head, and gradually descends until it reaches the pump runout point or maximum flow rate. The pump’s operating “sweet spot,” or best efficiency point (BEP)
