How do you think a 1 HP motor will increase the electric bill by $$$? Do you think all us pool owners with even bigger motors add hundreds of dollars to our electric bill during the summer months?

But I'd agree that size motor is way overkill for all but the largest home aquariums! Imagine the overflow needed to handle that.
