Theokie, you are correct. I'm running mine in about 9.5" of water. The manual recommends 8"-10" I think. The water level of my skimmer compartment of my sump is fixed at 9.5" and I don't have the overhead to raise it more than half an inch. This just might be the way it is for me.

I'm going to wait and see how things are in a couple of weeks. I've only had it in my system for four days. Perhaps when it's broken in and not thrashing so hard the wattage will go down. Sometime before then I'll order a Kill A Watt device because this has got my OCD working and I need. Answers. Now.

Ray, thanks a million for going out of your way to get some information right from the top!

Yes, it appears that as the pump breaks in that power consumption decreases. I just measured 0.4 amps, which is 48 watts. So definitely improving over time.
