As per my discussion with Coralvue, the air draw goes up and the wattage goes down when you lower the water level. So based on your amperage readings I'd say your running a water level at the upper...

Probably not, as your pump is operating at the exact parameters that Sicce lists on the rating. This has something to do more with them inflating their numbers on the advertising.
