Slick, you're right and I suppose if you had really high city water pressure, the pump might just shut off once the head pressure to the check valve was acheived, but I think in general the pump is overcoming the city pressure. Remember the city static pressure may be x but when water is flowing it becomes residual pressure y which is probably a lot lower given the 1/2" line.
