Italian term

16 mt di prevalenza

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering hydraulics for pool
This was found in the specifications for an Ozone Sanitation system:

Carico 2,5 mc/h a 16 mt di prevalenza

What exactly does "prevalenza" mean here? I have seen on other posts that in hydraulics it means "head", meaning "how far"... but how would I write that here in a list of specifications? Flow 2.5 mc/h at 16 mt. head??? If, indeed, that is its true meaning.

Thanks for any help by an expert in the field!
