I'm not particularly sure what pressure is hit when the pump is running, 
but I'd guess similar to house pressure... The water coming out of the 
faucet seems to be about the same.

And the system can be pressurized for extended periods... Like a week or 
two wouldn't be uncommon, either using the pump or (more normally in a 
campground) hooked up to the water hookup.
