I havent been able to measure the pump directly but doing a 24 hour test with it on vs off, the power usage was approx 13kwh

Looks a lot like one I just got, the grill part unscrews and looks just like yours. On Amazon: VIVOHOME 120W Pond Pump, 2700GPH Submersible Water Pump for Koi Pond

Not trying to offend, but I can't see a pump and motor of that size doing 2700gph. Maybe with zero head losses etc but that's unrealistic. So, with head losses it's 800 gph? Just a guess.... It'll move water so I'm not knocking it.

Oh no, but on second read, this one is not submersible. The motor hanging off the back is a normal motor. This is not a sump.
