Reef Octopus VarioS 6 Controllable Circulation Pump (OPEN BOX)

VarioS-6 Controllable Water Pump

The Reef Octopus VarioS Circulation Pump features a detachable controller with mount, a high-quality ceramic shaft with a propeller bearing to reduce wear and tear, and the latest variable-speed flow technology for refined control, enhanced performance, energy efficiency, and safer operations.

Unlike the vast majority of circulation pumps, which use alternating current (AC), the VarioS pump offers several key advantages over traditional AC pumps, such as greater energy efficiency and safer low-voltage operation, and produces less heat per unit of flow.

>>> Now the aquarist can have full control of the water flow through their sump, reactors, filters, or closed loop systems!!!

REFINED CONTROL

In addition to allowing the pump to run at 5 different speeds, which is pretty standard for a DC pump, the new VarioS Controller takes the pump to a new level, featuring:

1. A float switch connection, which allows you to connect a float switch (included in the box) to the controller. This added security feature will allow you to shut off your water pump when your sump water reaches a high or low level. In all, you don’t need another module or controller to add a float switch to your system.
2. Two different pause/feed modes will shut off the pump for either a 15 or a 60-minute interval. These come in handy when you are feeding the tank or conducting regular maintenance, such as a water change.
3. And the best feature of the VarioS controller is… a 0-10V input, which will allow a 3rd-party controller such as Coralvue HYDROS, Neptune Systems’ APEX, or Reef Angel to take over the pump and tell it what to do. In this mode, the new VarioS controller acts as an interface between the system controller and the pump, enabling you to create intricate programs in your system controller's native language. This is unprecedented controllability on a skimmer or water pump. In essence, you can use your system controller as your DC pump controller!

Includes: VarioS 6 pump, controller, float switch, power supply, plumbing direct PVC input and output unions, versatile stepped-barb output fitting for flex tubing, and protective intake screen.

The VarioS pump has a true slow startup, ramping up from 0 RPM to the full preset speed over approximately 10 seconds. 

The pump and controller are connected via a waterproof 3-conductor union. The detachable controller will allow for a simple, waterproof union. The volute can rotate to change the pump's output orientation in 90-degree increments, allowing users to output water vertically (up or down) as well as horizontally.
