IceCap DC-400L Utility Pump

A Pump for the Small Jobs: A Guide to the IceCap DC-400L Utility Pump

Not every water-moving job around the tank needs a dedicated skimmer or return pump - transferring water for a change, feeding a small reactor, or other small jobs call for a compact utility pump instead. The IceCap DC-400L includes an inline controller for adjustable flow.

Why a Dedicated Utility Pump

Using a full-size return pump for small transfer or feed jobs is overkill, and a fixed-speed utility pump can't be tuned to the specific flow rate a task needs. The DC-400L is built for exactly the smaller jobs around a tank that don't warrant a dedicated setup.

What It Offers

  • Multi-purpose design for small jobs that don't need a dedicated setup - water transfer, reactor feed, or similar tasks.
  • Inline controller for adjustable flow, letting you tune output to the specific job at hand.
  • Compact footprint that's easy to store and deploy as needed rather than staying permanently plumbed in.

Setup Tips

  • Use the inline controller to match flow to the task, rather than running at max output by default.
  • Rinse after use if used for water changes or drainage involving debris.
  • Works across freshwater and saltwater applications.
