Atlantic Variable Speed Pump Controller
Ultimate Control Over Your Pond Pump Performance
The Atlantic TidalWave Variable Speed Controller (VSC) delivers unprecedented control over TidalWave TT-Series asynchronous pumps, allowing you to adjust flow rates, set automated schedules, and manage your water feature wirelessly from your smartphone or the included remote control. This professional-grade controller optimizes pump performance while reducing energy consumption and extending equipment life.
Wireless Control via App or Remote
Control your pump from anywhere using the TidalWave VSC mobile app (available for iOS and Android) or the included 2.4GHz remote control. Adjust flow rates, power the pump on or off, and manage settings without walking to the equipment area—perfect for routine maintenance, feeding fish, or making quick adjustments from the comfort of your home.
10-Level Flow Adjustment
Fine-tune your pump's output with 10 discrete flow levels ranging from maximum down to 25% capacity. This precise control allows you to optimize flow for different conditions: reduce flow during feeding time, increase it for maximum filtration, or dial it back to save energy during off-peak hours. Each adjustment also reduces wattage draw, lowering operating costs.
Programmable On/Off Timer
Set automated on and off times to match your schedule and optimize energy usage. The programmable timer ensures your pump operates when needed and rests when it doesn't, extending equipment life while reducing electricity consumption. The LCD screen displays current time and flow levels for at-a-glance monitoring.
Separate Controller Design for Reliability
Unlike integrated variable speed controllers built into pumps, where any failure renders the entire system non-operational, the Atlantic VSC operates independently. If the controller fails, your pump can still run at full speed by bypassing it. If the pump fails, the controller remains intact for use with a replacement pump. This separation provides superior reliability and serviceability.
Memory Retention During Power Loss
The VSC retains your flow level settings and programmed on/off times even during power outages. When power returns, the controller resumes operation with your saved settings—no need to reprogram after every storm or electrical interruption.
Weatherproof Outdoor Installation
The rugged weatherproof housing with covered plug nook allows mounting the controller outdoors near your pump for convenient access. The cord lock function prevents inadvertent plug disconnection, ensuring reliable operation. Compact dimensions (6"H x 4"L x 2"W) allow installation in tight equipment areas.
Multi-Controller Management
The VSC app allows you to manage multiple controllers for different water features. Customize network names and passwords for secure access, then effortlessly switch between controllers in Wi-Fi settings to manage multiple ponds, waterfalls, or fountains from a single device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which pumps is this controller compatible with?
A: The VSC is designed for Atlantic TidalWave TT-Series asynchronous pumps up to 800 watts. It's not compatible with synchronous pumps or other pump brands.
Q: How do I control the pump with my smartphone?
A: Download the free TidalWave VSC app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Connect the controller to your Wi-Fi network, then use the app to adjust flow, set schedules, and power the pump on/off.
Q: What happens if the controller fails?
A: Because the controller operates separately from the pump, you can bypass it and run the pump at full speed directly. This separate design prevents total system failure.
Q: Will my settings be lost during a power outage?
A: No, the VSC retains flow level settings and programmed on/off times during power loss. When power returns, it resumes with your saved settings.
Q: Can I control multiple pumps with one controller?
A: Each controller manages one pump. However, the VSC app allows you to switch between multiple controllers to manage different water features from one device.
Q: How much energy can I save by reducing flow?
A: Reducing flow also reduces wattage draw. For example, running at 50% flow uses significantly less electricity than full speed, potentially cutting operating costs in half during low-demand periods.
Q: Can I mount this controller outdoors?
A: Yes, the weatherproof housing is designed for outdoor mounting near your pump. The covered plug nook and cord lock provide additional protection against the elements.
