This is an added security feature that allows 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd the best feature of the VarioS controller is… a 0-10v input which will allow a 3rd party controller such as CoralVue HYDROS X4\/X10, 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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncludes: \u003c\/strong\u003eVarioS 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe VarioS \u003cspan class=\"highlightedSearchTerm\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epump \u003c\/span\u003ehas 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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \u003cspan class=\"highlightedSearchTerm\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epump \u003c\/span\u003eand controller are connected via a waterproof 3-conductor union.
