Water Pump 2.8 changed to 3.5 gallons per minute

Replacing my 2088-422-144 / 2.8 gpm water pump with a 2088-544-144 / 3.5 gmp. Will I have a problem with this being too much pressure for the line?
Thanks

It'll be about the same shutoff pressure, which is when it has the highest pressure. But pump will be capable of producing more flow which will keep the operating pressure higher when there is flow, still lower than shutoff pressure. You will see more flow and better pressure at the faucets.

Bottom line no problem!

better pressure could be more water useage in the end.
