VarioS-4S Controllable DC Skimmer Pump – Reef Octopus

Reef Octopus VarioS DC pinwheel skimmer pumps deliver refined control, performance, and efficiency.

DC skimmer pumps have some key advantages over traditional AC pumps. Aside from near-silent operation, the VarioS skimmer pumps allow you to adjust the air and water flow rates through yuor skimmer with the push of a button. With this, you can tune your skimmer’s performance to match your tank’s bioload and get optimal waste removal. On top of that, these skimmer pumps include a float switch that allows you to shut the skimmer pump off when the waste collector is full, or if your sump has reached a high or low water level.

Control

The safe and energy efficient VarioS DC pump now include the new VarioS controller giving you more control. With 5 different energy saving speeds and two feed modes, the controller lets you know what your pump is doing at a glance.

Third Party Control

There is a dedicated port on the VarioS controller letting you directly connect your VarioS pump to any third party controller through a 0-10V reference port. Controlling your pump through a controller like an Apex lets you create your own flow profiles and get the absolute best performance from your skimmer while also integrating other safety features of the controller.

Safety

Having a pump that lets you directly attach a float switch is a major advantage. The float can let you set high or low points in your sump, skimmer cup, or display tank that will shut the pump off when the float is activated.

The VarioS controller includes a waterproof 3-conductor union that connects to the pump creating a safe and detachable connection.
