There's an outside chance the pulley is optimised for flow that way, but I would expect it should be blowing over the pump, not sucking. It's far easier to drive flow with pressure than vacuum.I've no idea what currant its drawing , the new motor is 1.5 kw as opposed to old 1.1 kw , the pump pulley is pulling air over the pump and I actually wanted to lower the cut of pressure a bit .
