Super E motors typically have about a 10% improvement over similar high end motors....that is why there are fewer small hp Super E motors

The most efficient motor I can find on Baldors site in this size range is the premium effeciency line.
Full loads efficiency of 78.5%.
Regular pump motor 68%.
Did anyone call Carry today to get the amps? I'll try tomorrow.

your memory is correct.

These were the numbers quoted to me for the 1/2 HP Storm pump @115volts.
Average power .97 KW
Full Load Amps 10
Locked rotor Amps 64.4

But two of the 1/20hp motor would deliver more flow for lower amps than the 3/4hp

When it reaches the point of total cheapness, as it has...
Consider wind power.
Especially when/if you live by the sea.
