Reef Octopus Controller

Hey guys,

I have both varios 6 and varios 2 pumps. recently the varios 6 controller speed LED stop lighting up but still functions. I swapped out the Varios 6 controller with the Varios 2, seems to work but wondering if there could be any bad effects.

ignore please: notice the 24v to 36v difference, swapped it back.

Exact same thing happened to me with 2 different Varios controllers, with multiple LEDs. Clearly the stupid little LEDs on the controllers are the weak point in these otherwise great pumps. CoralVue gave me replacement controllers. Started happening on the replacements too.

Thanks JVU,

Didn't realize this was a common problem. I will send them an email regarding the issue. Product is out of warranty, so I am not sure if they will replace mine. (crossing fingers).
