This is an added security feature that allows you to shut off the skimmer pump when your waste collector is full or 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo different pause\/feed modes that will shut off the pump for either 15 or 60 minute intervals. These come handy when you are feeding the tank or conducting regular maintenance such as a water change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd the best feature of the VarioS controller is… a 0-10v input which will allow a 3rd party controller such as 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 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!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VarioS\u003cspan class=\"highlightedSearchTerm\"\u003epump\u003c\/span\u003efeatures 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBIOLOAD HANDLING\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sump-excluded\"\u003e(Excluding sump)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tank-size-skimmer\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tank-size-skimmer-label\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEAVY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEDIUM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLIGHT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tank-size-skimmer-copy\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300 GALLONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500 GALLONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600 GALLONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall Footprint\u003cem\u003e- Saves Sump Space\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafe and Efficient 36V Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Cast Acrylic Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Performance VarioSSkimmer Pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Controllable Energy Saving Power Settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable Controller with Waterproof Union\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety Float Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0-10v Input for 3rd Party Controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Memory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo different pause\/feed modes that will shut off the pump for either 15 or 60 minute intervals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkimmer Disassembles for Easy Cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Reef Octopus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46714370490520,"sku":"6950291251756","price":1557.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/thepetsource.ca\/products\/reef-octopus-regal-250sss-protein-skimmer","provider":"The Pet Source","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
