Not even close.   I'm just finishing system install at one of our plants.    3 x 3200 gpm pumps.........these are turned by 350hp motors.   2 primary and one backup.

The main header that these supply is 20" in diameter.

Those are probably pretty big pumps.    Our pumps are delivering water at 100-120psi........pretty impressive when a 4" hose busts loose.   Luckily that is chilled water.

They push a lot of water a very long distance, but they cycle so it might not be that impressive.
