    What is the amp draw on this pump?? My PSK-75 is a couple weeks old and purchased new from DrFosSmith, so I'm assuming it's got the latest parts in it. I can't quite read the specs on the pump and it's a huge PITA to pull the whole thing out right now.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply. I'm actually looking for the amperage (electrical) draw of the pump itself.

    Thanks for the help guys but I needs the AMP draw =)


    I pulled the skimmer out a bit to get a better look at the pump. It's an Atman PH-1100. The sticker on the pump actually rated it at 28 watts and did not have an amperage rating.

    The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation:
    Amps = Watts/Volts

    For example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp

    So, if it is 15w - 15w/110v = .136A
    If it's 28w - 28w/110v = .254A
