Mostly, I have no prior experience with Epanet (or any hydraulic modeling software, actually) and I wasn't sure how to deal with the backflow...
Thank you for the input!

In the "settings" box, I pointed the FCV to the pump curve I'd already created (I also tried changing the curve type from "pump" to a...
