curious as to low current draw as measured

also note, must turn pump on/off with switch in DC line, not AC line or pump often fails to restart (as documented by Iwaki)

Iwaki calls for min. 22v to start, haven't tested that yet
Did you put the clamp-on meter on just one leg of the power supply ac line?

edit: most clamp-on meters are inaccurate. I take the readings from mine with a grain of salt...
