It most certainly does in the context of lowering the residuals to a
pressure less than your design pressure and providing more water at a lower
pressure that is then boosted to the pressure needed. This is what we (or
at least I) though Joe's problem was at first, he was 31 gpm on the wrong
side of the curve.
Perhaps it was the way it was implied that confusion was created. Agreed
pump's don't create water but create AVAILABLE water (to a point) at a
desired pressure.

And for others, adding a pump does not create more water. A pump will not
add 31 gpm to the source.
