My main interest here is not even the increased flow -- the current

If the pump is flowing more water then it is doing more work, therefore it
will be drawing more current leading to a hotter running motor. Use a clamp
on ammeter to see what it draws now and also what it draws with the 1" hose
installed. I don't gamble much, but I would bet on this one.
