The Elos SQ-4000 is a new electronic variable flow DC pump from the Italian manufacturer which at the very least, is sporting an original casing and hallmark beautiful appearance. The 24vDC SQ4000 from Elos produces a maximum flow rate of 4000 liters per hour, or about 1056 gph while drawing only 24 watts.
For now Elos is only offering the SQ4000 in a flow version to be avialable mid-summer for about 229€ which will likely shake out to $299 in the North American market but if DC pumps continue their meteoric rise to needle wheel protein skimmer dominance, it won’t be long before Elos offers a new skimmer using the highly capable SQ4000 platform.
