That is easy just make the feed container a pressure vessel and use gravity feed. As long as the container's water is level is below the manifold you can have a feed back line to it. see the attached picture. The pressure of the vessel will never exceed the pressure of my manifold. As long as it will hold at 70 psi I'll be fine.

I imaging that point would be more than I would ever run because I would have to top of the feed tank too often.
