Default Dolphin Ampmasters

Umm actually no. The thing is by using this pump you are getting a much more efficient motor than what is probably in a jacuzzi pump. So in the end you are getting one of the best pumps out there. It is just that the actual power consumption is not as low as first thought. It is still low. but..

With that said.

Ok so a MAK4 does the following.

startup 137W

running after a couple of min 123W 32VAR

current draw was 1.1Amps

This shows you that what a manufacturer claims isn't the same. When a manuf says 95W as with the MAK4 that is AT the motor. Not from the wall.
