It's just pumping more water. the internals are slightly larger so allowing more flow, but put a bigger bore pipe on it and you will reduce your end  pressure

If you are thinking of fitting a Varistream at some stage then go for the 3.8 l/min pump. The larger one will not work with a Varistream as it will draw more than 10a at maximum pressure.

Pure Freedom do the Shurflo 100 PSI 5.2 litres per min pump at £79.99 including VAT and delivery. www.purefreedom.co.uk

I know these work well with the Varistream coz these are what I have got on my set ups from them. I run 100 metres of 8mm minibore with the varistream set at just under half way on the dials.
