Yup. Both pool and spa ( hot tub ) pumps are designed to move water at a
relatively high pressure, compared to a pond pump. It takes watts, read
dollars, to do this. Ponds don't have the higher pressure needs that pools
and spas require and so pond pumps are designed to move water at a much
lower head (pressure). The savings in electricity between the two types of
pumps can be dramatic, often enough to pay for the pump in less than one
year! Even if you got a pool pump for free, you'd be money ahead to buy a
pond pump. Same goes for sump pumps.

Sell the pool pump on ebay and use the money to buy a POND pump. You'll

glad you did and you'll save yourself a small fortune on your electric
bill.

Does that go for a hot tub pump as well?
