I have never
seen any pump operate on anything even close to 750 watts/HP, even when
on utility power.  Watts up with that, are these pumps just that
inefficient?

Kurt, Yes they are.  The 750w/hp is right out of the physics handbook and is 
theoretical only. Yes the real worlds steps in. So its more like a 1/2 hp eats 
about 1,000 w (assuming standard ac induction pumps)

I too like the SQ flex pumps.
