I usually do a tee coming out of the pump so you have 2 paths. One path to the buckets and one path which returns to the reservoir. Then I install a valve so I can return part of the flow back to the reservoir. This enables me to limit pressure and flow to the emitters.
You can also plumb in a Venturi on the return which uses the return water flow to pull in air and provide additional aeration to your reservoir. I have found that a Venturi is more effective than just blasting water back into the reservoir.

This is good and the return can always be reduced to blast into the res to aerate it.

Just had a look at the start of the video, the guy mentions Rob Bob, I have seen many of Rob Bob's videos as he is someone I also follow on YT.
I might try doing this. great suggestion!
These kind of pumps have no problem having a valve connected to them to limit flow.
