A fluid pump system can include a controllable pump configured to generate a pump flow through the controllable pump and to output an output flow to an output line. The fluid pump system can include a flow split system configured to be in fluid communication with the controllable pump in a bypass state such that the flow split system is configured to divert a portion of the pump flow to maintain a desired output flow to the output line but to also allow the controllable pump to maintain a minimum pump flow through the controllable pump to maintain pump temperature below a high temperature threshold.
