It does pulse per this definition, though from the original explanation, I thought it was doing something else. While I didn't lose pressure much in testing, adding a filter with a check valve (mine is AEM), it won't turn on and off like that, ie. pulse.
Later I changed pumps to one with potentially higher pressures, to make sure I was getting enough juice. However, that was likely a $200. waste, as the key is to make sure the spray is atomized thru the nozzle... higher pressure pump may spray more volume though. All numbers you see from suppliers are based on amount of liquid used per hr at 100 PSI.
