That is what I want, yes. When the solenoid goes off I want the pump to maintain pressure until they go off. Maybe I used the wrong term by saying continuous duty. Do you have a page I can look at? I have been eyeing the Dolphin pumps, but cannot determine the PSI.
Here is the current set up, I am not sure if I can bypass the pressure tank with these cheapo pumps? I can run 572 drippers at once without outdoing the pump capacity.

I am not a pump guy, so like I said all ears.
