CoralVue HYDROS Reef Octopus VarioS / Pulse WaveEngine Pump Adapter (HDRS‑WE‑OCTPA)
A purpose‑built adapter that allows Reef Octopus VarioS and Pulse DC pumps to be directly controlled by the HYDROS WaveEngine or WaveEngine LE, unlocking full DC pump programmability without the stock controller.
This adapter is essential for aquarists who want to integrate their VarioS return pumps or Pulse wavemakers into a unified HYDROS ecosystem with advanced flow profiles, feed modes, and automation.
🧩 What the Adapter Does
The HYDROS WaveEngine uses proprietary control ports to run third‑party DC pumps. The HDRS‑WE‑OCTPA converts the VarioS/Pulse pump’s native control connector into a format the WaveEngine can drive safely and accurately.
This enables:
Direct 0–100% DC speed control
Access to WaveEngine flow modes (random, pulse, sine, etc.)
Feed mode synchronization across all pumps
Power monitoring and automation triggers
