Power as indicated on the pump is 10-12% lower than in the Hayward calculator. This may be occurring because I have a larger cartridge filter and it is recently cleaned. Pressure gauge at the filter is reading around 6 PSIG (15 ft head) at 2600 RPM. From the pump flow diagram, this would indicate about 95 GPM flow.
I need to get my Fluke current meter and verify the power readings.

Sounds about right. A standard single speed pool pump draws about 2400 watts. A VS pump at 1200 rpm draws about 200 watts. It needs to run Twice as long for complete turnover but saves about 80% in electricity while doing the same work. A slam dunk just like modern LED lighting.
