You'll never find this filter on the shelf in a pet store.

Sounds like house hold water filter. There's a reason why it's not on any shelves retaining to this purpose. I think you need to research some realistic options, that filter will serve no purpose.

There will be, we're just testing how it stands up against sand filters. We are getting into the genealogy of koi and selective breeding of many species

Well you should check with the manufacturer of the unit for what actual pump specs you need, 50psi is pretty unrealistic unless you get into positive displacement which will also need a PSV.
