That would be my thinking. I have a Bando 9.5CM wide belt that has been on 
the car five seasons. I am looking to replace it because the edges are getting 
fuzzy. 

Maybe one or one and a half HP tops. And I have a 5/8" restrictor in the 
outlet, so there is a measurable amount of drag involved. I would be shocked if an 
electric pump didn't work. Not at all if it did.
