The Reef Octopus VarioS-2 Controllable DC Water Pump delivers energy-efficient, high-performance water movement for advanced marine sumps and freshwater aquariums. Driven by a high-efficiency 24V Direct Current motor, this smart utility pump features an external controller that allows you to mechanically adjust between five preset speed settings. It also includes an integrated 15-minute or 60-minute feed mode pause, letting you feed your livestock without washing food down your overflow. Built with a high-grade ceramic shaft and bearing assembly, it runs exceptionally quiet, cool, and smooth, while its advanced slow-startup technology gradually ramps up flow to protect your plumbing connections.
Key benefits:
Precision Digital Speed Control: Features an external controller button to quickly switch between 5 distinct flow speeds to match your sump’s capacity.
Dual Feed Mode Pauses: Includes convenient 15-minute and 60-minute delay options that temporarily stop water flow during target feeding sessions.
Whisper-Quiet Operation: Uses a premium ceramic shaft and balanced rotor block to minimize operating hum and heat transfer.
Float Switch Connectivity: The integrated controller port allows you to plug in a water level float switch to automatically shut down the pump if your sump runs low.
Specifications:
Form: Controllable DC return utility pump
Max Flow Rate: 792 GPH
Max Head Height: 13 feet
Power Consumption: Up to 25 Watts
Voltage: 24V DC (Includes 120V external power transformer)
Plumbing Connections: Includes unions for 3/4" and 1" PVC slip pipe, plus barbed hose fittings
Water type: Freshwater and Saltwater
Intended users: Aquarium hobbyists looking for a smart, quiet return or reactor pump for medium-sized aquariums
Suggested use:
Installation: Connect the pump to your return plumbing using either the provided hard PVC unions or the flexible hose barb adapters. Submerge the pump completely inside your sump return chamber, plug it into the VarioS controller, and select your desired operational speed.
Submerged or Inline: The pump is rated for fully submerged underwater operation or dry inline external plumbing configurations.
Storage and safety:
Always keep the external controller pad and power supply brick mounted in a clean, dry area inside your stand away from any humidity or water spray.
Rinse the internal impeller and ceramic shaft with vinegar and water every few months to remove calcium buildup.
Warnings:
Do not run the pump dry, as operating without water passing through the chamber will overheat the ceramic bearings.
Keep out of reach of children.
What’s included:
1 x Reef Octopus VarioS-2 Pump Body
1 x VarioS Digital Controller Unit with Mounting Bracket
1 x External Power Supply Adapter
1 x Plumbing Union and Hose Barb Kit
Why choose:
Standard AC return pumps run at a single loud speed and consume excess electricity. The Reef Octopus VarioS-2 gives you complete control over your tank's turnover rate, integrated feeding pauses, and a whisper-quiet DC motor block that runs cold to keep your system perfectly stable.
