Those are "Sears" horsepower, not real horsepower.
Unless the laws of physics have changed the only way you will get 1 hp
from a motor that draws 6.2 amps is to drop it from a great height.

Roughly:

110V x 6.2A = 682Watts x 1HP/746Watts = 0.914 HP

Which, with suitable rounding, is, er, about one horsepower.

Its possible it wont pump enough to clean the pool or move the boiler
water properly. Its a 6.2amp pump, the old one was 9.5amp, there
should be a spec sheet with it, hopefully its in english english.
