Anyone using the Reeflo Snapper Hybrid Pump, 3600 gph

Reeflo Snapper Hybrid Pump, 3600 gph

I currently am using the AMPmaster 3000 for a return pump and my electricity bill took a jump

Anyone using the Snapper hybrid with the bigger impeller (3600) and know what your wattage draw is?? It's advertised @ max 108 watts compared to the current 226 watts that I'm getting on the Ampmaster. (using one of those kill-a-watt meters) or can you suggest another pump with the same flow but lesser wattage
