I noticed that my L1 is getting weaker and it has been running a few months (because flap in check valve is not as far open + overflow gets noisy) .

I was wondering if you can tell by the power consumption if something is going bad with the pump. I would expect it to consume more if the impeller was sticking (or flow was restricted). I don't really want to take it apart (pita after only 2 months).

Anyhow, others running L1 can you share your power consumption on the echosmart live screen? Below, mine is running at 80%.

At 100% it looks like about 127.5Watts over the past month.

Speed & Power used.

TIA
