Power Factor for AC Pumps

[albert_dao]

What you SHOULD do is find out why your pump is running at a power factor completely out of line with my numbers. How old is it?

About 4 years I think, in service for around 2.5. Everything seems good, runs like new and from my googling it seems a few users have discovered that RD pumps have low power factors. Also the bubble king 2000 is following a similar path. Doubtful I have two defective units.
