    Easy to check from your pump literature (if model known).
    For the record my pond is much more modest, and the pump is rated @70w the uv bulb is 9w.Throw in the inaccuracy of the monitor, should be easy to get to your figure.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Definitely got two 11-watt bulbs and I imagine the pumps are about 70w like yours, so you are probably right. Some rationalisation might be in order, especially as one of the liners is looking ropey.....
