Reef Octopus Water Blaster HY-7000 Water Pump
The Reef Octopus Water Blaster HY-7000 is an ultra-efficient, heavy-duty circulation and return pump designed to move large volumes of water quietly and reliably. Based on the proven motor technology of Reef Octopus skimmer pumps, the Water Blaster series is specifically engineered to deliver high flow with exceptional energy savings and minimal heat transfer into your aquarium.
At the heart of the Water Blaster HY-7000 is an integrated digital control circuit board that manages directional startup, regulates RPM speeds, and provides automatic safety shut-off if an obstruction or dry-run condition is detected. Unlike standard ceramic shafts that attract heavy calcium buildup, the HY-7000 utilizes a Silicon Nitride shaft and bearing system. This ultra-durable material resists calcification and wear, drastically reducing maintenance and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted flow. Designed for maximum plumbing flexibility, the HY-7000 can be operated submersed inside a sump or externally plumbed dry.
