how many watts is the pump motor?

I don't know the watts of the motor but I been using this filter for a year now. And it's the best filter I ever owned.

Looks like 1.66 amps based on dividing the pump's watts of 199 by household current (volts) of 120 which equal 1.6583333333 amps. I used the following web address for the Watts to Amps calculation: http://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/Watt_to_Amp_Calculator.htm

Sorry, I don't recall, but it is low wattage. I have 2 both in outside cat houses and doing the job intended.

Big savings come if you can run the pump around 2100 RPM where it will be drawing approx 2-2.5 amps. My 16 X 32 pool is kept clear with pump running at 1940 RPM 24 Hrs a day. (410 Watts or 1.8 amps at 230 Approx). Your situation will be different but any setting that will allow you to run the pump at less than full speed might result in savings over a single speed motor.

This pump is 12 volt, however mine quit working after about 8 hours of use. I am now looking for a better pump.

Yvette,The machine has 600 watts. It works very well. we use it fairly often. I guess almost weekly.

Being a 1hp pump, the current draw is 6.5 amps. Make sure wiring should handle it. I would advise using a GFI outlet on it for shock protection should the motor windings short out (very rarely happens). That's the Engineer in me worrying about things. Good luck!

I don't recall. I don't own it anymore as mine fell off a shelf and broke. I believe it's only about 1 or 2 watts, but it gets pretty loud for such a small amp. I really liked it except for the fact that it was top-heavy and tipped often.

You can set the pump to either 115 or 230 You can make the change by removing the back housing Mine ran on 230 which I think was perset If it trips the breaker at 115 you either have a fault or the breaker is to low It should be a 25 amp The motor does draw a good amount of power

This model only (varies widely with model number): 12 amps motor; "air watts" = 100; air flow = 65 CFM; suction = (unknown) in. water

this was pulled from the site from where I purchased the pump "...Technical Specs: 115volts/60hz/35 watts (6,000 Gallons every 24 hours)"... - comes to 4.17gpm

This machine has a 5 AMP motor. If an appliance is rated at 5 amps (@ 120V), the load is 600 watts per hour( 5A X 120V = 600W).

At the manufacturer's site, brochure for similar product states 180 watts. http://www.premierrobotic.com/dolphin-cleaner-specs

Part Number 2088-594-154 that I purchased runs on 110 volt AC standard household current. They also make a similar pump that runs on 12 volt DC current.

Specs say "Rated Power:75w,Max Power: 100w,Peak power: 200w". Look at the input for the ...somewhere on the plug/wire/back of pump it should have a Volt and Amp rating. Multiply the volts X amps. This gives you a rough estimate of "watts".
