    Your motor expert is wrong. Theoretically it's 746 watts per HP. That would be at 100% efficiency which doesn't happen in real life. Here's what I measured on my pump 17 May 2001...same number as yours, 2607X10 with a Fluke 33 clamp-on ammeter.
    At 15 PSI 7.51 amp
    At 25 PSI 6.4 amp. Flow blocked.
    Mine has been running on the 9th season now. No maintenance at all. Relax and enjoy the pool.

    I know...I'm a sick puppy for keeping this kind of data.
