Next-Level Pump Technology: The RODC VarioS Skimmer Pump

Equipped with the latest Direct Current (DC) VarioS pinwheel skimmer pump, the Regal offers unparalleled variable speed control, boosting both performance and energy efficiency. Unlike traditional AC pumps powered by your standard wall outlet, this DC pump lets you precisely adjust motor speed — and with it, the air and water flow rates inside the skimmer. Simply press a button to dial in exactly how much water you want processed.

Precision Control at Your Fingertips

The VarioS Controller takes versatility to the next level with:

• Five adjustable speeds to match your tank’s needs

• Float switch connectivity (included) for added safety, automatically shutting off the pump when your waste cup is full or sump water levels fluctuate, no extra modules needed

• Convenient pause/feed modes that halt the pump for 15 or 60 minutes — perfect during feeding, maintenance, or water changes

• A 0-10V input port enabling seamless integration with third-party controllers like CoralVue HYDROS. This means your system controller can directly manage the pump, allowing custom programs and unmatched automation — a game changer in skimmer control.

Smooth, Thoughtful Design

The pump features a gentle startup, gradually ramping from zero to your preset speed over about 10 seconds to avoid sudden surges. The waterproof 3-conductor connection between pump and controller ensures reliability and ease of maintenance. Plus, the volute’s design lets you rotate the output in 90-degree increments, so you can direct flow vertically or horizontally to suit your setup.
