It is not the volume of water that matters to the pump, it is the static head. (head height). Static head is the difference in height between the highest point of in the pipe and the pumps discharge height. The pump in that respect could care less about pipes diameter. Larger pipe provides lees friction losses so a greater voloume can be pumped by the same pump than with the smaller diameter pipe. However the pressure in the pipe will be less unless there is restriction in the pipes outlet. If you are using spray heads they provide restriction so your pressure will increase in the pipe regardless of the diameter of the pipe to an extent. With extremely large pipe diameter the pressure would remain lows as the pump would be pumping max volume rather than pressure. Typically it is better for economy/efficiency to increase your discharge delivery (riser) pipe to at least one size larger than the pumps discharge size then decrease at the outlet to the pumps discharge size to restore the original pressure value.
ie If you are using misters the larger pipe will be more efficient and lower wattage used by the pump.
The argument (theory) is based upon the equation: Q=VxA, which means, Flow = Velocity x Area This means, Flow/Area = Velocity, so if you increase the Area (diameter ) of the pipe you increase the Velocity but decrease the Flow. And in the opposite respect if you decrease the Area (diameter) of the pipe you decrease the Velocity and increase the Flow. Tie this in with the increase in Flow due to lowered friction and you can see why the efficiency increases with increased pipe size. You get the water delivered at a larger Volume cheaper and easier and then you just adjust the pipe size downward and get your pressure back up to where it started. A liitle more material cost but definitely a savings in wattage used.
