Hey friends,
New tank with Varios return pump. The manual says 1850gph/7000lph for recommended flow rate. Since my Varios just goes from 1-5 how do I know what to set it at?? Like when my pump is on 3 how much is it kicking?? Thanks in advance!!

I can't tell you the specific setting for your Varios, but my 2500 Gph Sicce SDC 9.0 is set to 45% on my 750XXL which delivers ~600-650 Gph. Since you're limited to 5 settings, my best advice would be try it at "3" (60%) and see how the flow seems. I'm thinking either "3" or "4" will be the ideal setting for you.

If you decide to return the Varios and have or plan to get a Neptune Apex, you can control the Sicce via IOTA in 1% increments.
