Did I use the correct GFI for the circuit?
I have a pool pump running on a 20 amp circuit. The GFI outlet went bad, and I replaced it with a gfi that had two ratings on the back - 15 amp and 20 amp. One said it was line-feed rating (but I can't remember which number). It was a Weather Rated outlet by Cooper Wiring.
Any ideas if this will work? Can I use a 15 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit?
I installed it last minute and don't want to take it out and look at the rating unless it could be a problem.

There's only one outlet on the circuit, but it is duplex. Does that count?

Yes, a duplex is two "outlets". I avoided saying duplex because I wasn't sure you were familiar with the term.
