Glad to hear you used something that could measure watts.

Okay, dragging out the last bits of my ECE know-how, this is because pumps have electric motors, which are inherently inductive, and measuring Vrms and Irms would yield volt-amps, which be slightly more than the watts.
Is that anywhere close?
