restricting the discharge side of the pump
"For your application, restricting the discharge side of the pump will have negligible effect on the suction side."
Just so I'm clear then,
The Dole Valve will be installed after the flow meter on the discharge side of the pump. Yes?
If I install a 5 GPM rated Dole Valve, Should the Flow meter after the pump never read any higher than 5 GPM?

Another theory.
There is a booster pump and bladder tank on the feed to this system feeding the Webtrol pump.
Is it possible that the booster pump regulates the flow?
There is a check valve pointing in the direction of the pump. Could it be possible that when labs draw water from the loop the pressure on the Webtrol would drop and then the booster pump would kick on to bring the pressure back up? ,,, Then once the pressure is attained the booster pump would shut down ,,, and repeat the cycle when the demand is called for again?
The reason I ask is I may have missed this entire part of the equation. It seems to me the original tanks (competitors I removed) are EXACTLY what I have replaced and are rated for 5 GPM ,,, it seems to me the competitor would not have put in 5 GPM rated tanks with a 14 GPM flow rate.

Perhaps you can put a sketch on eng tips so that one can understand the system.
The typical water loop has an inlet, pump, treatment device, and a discharge point. The discharge point probably drains into a tank.
The flow through the loop is most likely controlled by a PRV located at the discharge point. Vacuum pumps
