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 which are particularly handy for closed-loop systems creating a random flow throughout the aquarium.

 

Safety

Having a pump that lets you directly attach a float switch has several advantages. 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.

Product Questions

What are the dimensions of the pump with the screen on? Trying to figure out if this will fit in my Icecap 24 sump.
Thank you.
Question by: Sean Farrow on Dec 31, 2021, 6:03 PM
It is approximately 7" long with the screen on.

How many amps would the 120ac-24dc convert use? I see the pump is 25 watts but is that 25 watts @ 24vdc?
Question by: Dustin Weaver on Nov 7, 2021, 9:40 PM
Thanks for the question. The various 2 converter has an input amperage of 2 amps at 100-240 volts. The output is 24 volts dc at 2.5 amps.

If a power outage occurs and the the pump comes back online, what is the default pump speed?
Question by: Brandon Lolling on Sep 11, 2017, 6:29 PM
With the Varios Pumps if power is ever lost, they will return to the original setting it was at before the power loss. By default on the first power up, it will be set to 100% however once you set it to your specified flow rate, it will be able to remember that speed even after a loss of power.
Answer by: Charlie Ona on Sep 13, 2017, 2:48 PM
Can this be turned down to run approximately 300 gph through a Pentair 40w UV unit and is it self priming if used as external pump or need to mounted below sump level so starts with water in pump.
Question by: Bryan Smith on Jan 31, 2017, 10:15 AM
Great question! This has 5 presets for flow adjusting the flow. The max flow rating is 792gph and I would guess that the lowest may be around 100-150gph. Unfortunately, the manufacturer doesn't list the exact flow rates at each preset, so we are left to estimate. :-)

Can I use this pump on the SRO XP2000 8" Skimmer? It's an older skimmer with the bubble blaster hy2000s that has gone bad. Can this replace the pump?
Question by: Frank Patano on Jan 18, 2017, 12:07 PM
Hey there! Unfortunately this pump cannot replace the pump for that skimmer. It is a return/utility pump that utilizes a different impeller than a skimmer pump and also does not have a venturi to allow an air intake line into the pump volute. For proper skimmer pump replacements, you would have to check out CoralVue listed in the contact info below! :-)
