Just In: Reef Octopus Diablo DC Water Pumps
NEW!
We've got more Reef Octopus DC Water Pump options now for you control freaks out there. The DC-3500 has a flow rate of 925 GPH, while the DC-5500 produces an impressive 1450 GPH. We've also got the big bad 2,275 GPH DC-10500 in stock. What's so great about DC pumps? You can control the rotational speed of the motor, thus electronically control water flow rates. DC pumps are also more efficient than AC pumps and produce less heat per volume of flow. |

So a DC-5500 will work then? If so sweet.

You are clear I had a typo of DC-3500 I meant to say DC-5500. I have fixed that in my post. LOL

Hi, EricJC. We sent a request to our purchasing department to get our most up-to-date ETA for you. Keep in mind before we follow up that ETAs due tend to fluctuate, although we promise to follow up with our best estimate a little later today. Thanks!

do you have an eta for the newest generation that is supposed to be controllable from the apex? That's what I'm waiting for!

these pumps can be controlled by the reef Keepers through the new DCI.

The newer version of these seems to be white and I now do not see the limitation on these being internal only. True the white 3500 can be external ?

According to CoralVue's website, the new RODC 3500 can be use internal or external:
Reef Octopus RODC 3500 At a mere 30W at max. power, it should make a great return pump for many applications. |

I know this was asked above but can the RODC 3500 be used with the 10v control of an apex? I am open to modifying the cable if needed to manually connect the two.

Hi gotfrogs,
Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, RODC pumps (as well as just about all other DC pumps) do not have a dedicated 'controller' port so it cannot be connected to the 0-10V VDM. There have been a few people here on the forums that have DIY'd their own cables to make it work. However, there is no official product available from Neptune at this time. However, I'm sure they are working on it. |
