Traditional alternating current (AC) legacy skimmer pumps run at a single, rigid speed, forcing hobbyists to rely solely on physical water height adjustments or air valves to tune their skimmer's foam level. The VarioS 2S revolutionizes this process by utilizing an intelligent 24V brushless motor core.

Outfitted with an external control pad, the pump allows users to step through 5 distinct speed modes and cycle through dual independent feed\/pause delays (15 or 60 minutes) to keep the skimmer offline during livestock feeding or water changes. For ironclad system safety, Reef Octopus bundles an electronic \u003cb\u003efloat switch sensor\u003c\/b\u003e that plugs straight into the controller housing. By mounting this sensor inside your skimmer's collection cup or waste collector, the pump will instantly shut down the moment the cup fills with liquid skim, mitigating the messy threat of a collection cup overflow. Hand-machined with a high-purity ceramic shaft and matching bearing to optimize long-term friction resistance, the VarioS 2S is the definitive upgrade for low-maintenance, crystal-clear reef aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntelligent Central Integration:\u003c\/b\u003e The onboard 0-10V connection turns the controller into a clean translation interface, letting centralized apps dictate variable speed profiles or custom feed-pause delays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRotatable Directional Volute:\u003c\/b\u003e Effortlessly accommodates tight skimmer bodies or narrow sump layouts by altering the physical output path to point up, down, or sideways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePremium Venturi Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Ships complete with a high-efficiency venturi air intake throat and silicone airline tubing to maximize smooth micro-bubble production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThermal Protection Failsafes:\u003c\/b\u003e Built-in internal cooling channels maintain continuous temperature normalization across the rotor to guard against overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMemory Function Restoration:\u003c\/b\u003e Retains its exact pre-configured speed stage and operational logic even if an unexpected residential power outage cuts the main grid line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal Replacement\/Upgrade Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClassic Series:\u003c\/b\u003e Classic 150INT, NWB 150\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuper Reef Octopus (SRO) Series:\u003c\/b\u003e SRO 1000INT, SRO 2000INT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegal Series:\u003c\/b\u003e Regal 150INT, Regal 150SSS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElite: \u003c\/strong\u003ePOV1-DC1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e(Note: Some legacy or specific skimmer models may require an additional conversion adapter part to link the pump output to the skimmer body plumbing, sold separately)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CoralVue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47322763526313,"sku":"VARIOS-2S","price":340.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/4958\/0912\/files\/b5be408cb485c2c7199f74aa928a7c6a.jpg?v=1786228281","url":"https:\/\/worldwidecorals.com\/products\/varios-2s","provider":"World Wide Corals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
