HotTubMan,

I will check this out when I get home, but I am pretty sure it says 240v.  I never discussed HP with the dealer and it did not factor into my purchase decision.  On the ohter hand this is an interesting topic.

Fair enough. I just thought since you said that the Beachcomber pumps were continuous, someone had told you that.

I took a look at the pump.  It is a A. O. Smith pump not Waterway.  The voltage is 230v and 16 Amps , and it says continous HP 4/4.8  on the label.  None of the labels peal off.  If you use around .9 for the efficiency then you get a 4.5 continous HP pump.  So I think the pump is 4.5 continous.
