Unfortunately, I remembered the capacity wrong. They were not run close to capacity. But it's moot anyway, because the report makes it pretty clear the input flow rate was constant, and so the notion of covering 7 times the area in a few minutes by adding water doesn't, um, hold water. Two pumps (dab jet 82m) were run at 350 L/h, but measured flow rate was reported as 675 L/h. The pump capacities are 3000L/h according to the report (but 3600 L/h from the web site).
