i have swc fdnw 400 skimmer and the pumps said 65 watts each (4 of them) but according to neptune apex it uses 2.5 amps each one so i check them all. it uses more watts than my 2 return pumps uses 2.2 amps /230 watts combine and octopus otp 3000 use 275 watts each this skimmer pump !i know its bigger than my external return pump but 275 watts so i was panicking so i used a kill a watt and it say 55 watts for regular pinwheel pumps and 85 watts for the needle pinwheel pumps nothing close to apex 2.5 amps/275 watts.everything else read close except for the oct 3000 pumps!

Update the firmware in the EB8 with the latest, and I suspect the discrepancy will disappear.
