VarioS 8 Controllable Circulation Pump

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

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: A float switch connection allows you to connect a float switch (included in the box) to the controller. This added security feature will enable you to shut off your water pump when your sump water has reached a high or low level. In all, you don’t need another module or controller to add a float switch to your system. Two different pause/feed modes will shut off the pump for either 15 or 60-minute intervals. These come in handy when you feed the tank or conduct regular maintenance, such as a water change.\nAnd the best feature of the VarioS controller is… a 0-10v input which will allow a 3rd party controller such as Coralvue HYDROS, Neptune System’s APEX, or Reef Angel to take over the pump and tell it what to do. In this mode, the new VarioS controller becomes an interface between the system controller and the pump, allowing you to create intricate programs using 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 pump, controller, float switch, power supply, output and input union for plumbing direct PVC, versatile stepped barb output fitting for flex tubing, and protective intake screen.

The VarioS pump has a true slow startup where the pump slowly ramps up from zero RPM to the full preset speed over a period of 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 intervals, meaning users can output water vertically (up or down) and horizontally.
