Thanks to all for your help:
HODAK and Stackwood for your inputs.
JW5875 for the link to the Hyd Course -- I am very enthusiastic about it and amazed that such is available at no cost. Looks like it should teach me a lot and is just what the Dr. ordered.
MadReferee, thanks for your detailed explanations. Although a new member, I've noticed that you go to a lot of effort to help folks on this forum which is very good of you. I appreciate you for it and am sure many others do, also.
One note just to be fair: after reviewing my original post must say there may be an overstatement. I am not quite sure at this point what the salesman said in regards to why he was hesitant to recommend securing the remote valve open. I said that he mentioned possibly overheating the pump; not sure about that and he may have simply mentioned possible heat problems with me filling in some blanks.
