A member on here just received on of these new skimmers and is very pleased with it, though being semi skeptical on the wattage claim, I asked him to check its draw.

It is drawing .6 amps, which is roughly 72w, which puts it on par with a stock PSK-1000. This is a far cry from the 22w that they are using on all of their advertising material. I contacted Coralvue directly after I saw today that they are listing the stock PSK-1000 as the replacement pump. There is something a bit fishy going on.
