What exactly is "service factor"?
I was looking around, and found this page-

Comparing the standard pumps to the high efficiency pumps, the high efficiency have higher service factors. But they seem to use more amps, which is confusing me, but my understanding of amps/volts etc left me long ago
I assume a higher service factor is desireable?
