I always get confused here, too. I think the secret here is that with 
more voltage the pump will run faster, putting out more flow, hence 
more power out and in. So I still think the current would go up with 
increasing voltage.

This may differ in different kinds of motors which have different 
kinds of loads, AC motors in air conditioners, for example.
