Nothing to confirm if you've measured consumption at 200 watts, other than what's stamped on the motor is evidently false info....

If you plug the pump into an energy monitor it reads 82W but it pulls 1.8A. So the question is as far as the power company goes are they billing me for 82W or 1.8Ax115V=207W
