Varios 6 speeds

Does anyone know what percentages are the various settings on a varios 6 pump. Specifically what gph is at the lowest setting of 1out of 6?

@Michael@CoralVue @Jeff@CoralVue - do you have any input on the Varios 6 settings?

I’m looking into this. :)

It is in LPH but here is the breakdown

4000lph = 1056gph

5000lph= 1320gph

5500lph= 1453gph

6200lph= 1637gph

6500lph= 1717gph

Awesome, thanks so much!

With 5’ of head pressure what would the gph be for settings 2 and 3?

Pretty safe to say you'll loose aprox 500 gph. You can always turn it up a little to compensate if needed.

Thanks for the reply. I’m looking to use the 4” Klir fleece roller filters and was hoping to get away with only needing one but I can’t get my gph down to 750. Thanks again for the info.

Sorry to reply to such an old thread, but does it make a difference what size plumbing pipe is used? Also, is there a way to calculate how much loss if head height is above the max for that setting? For example, my head height is about 4 feet and the return line on my tank is 3/4". It's a 100 gallon tank volume, but minus the rock and sand I have about 82 gallons in display/overflow box and about 18 gallons in sump when running.
