Just arrived - the Oase new Proficlear Premium Compact L. A new all in one Drum filter with 3 - 20lt bags of Helex-13 moving bed media.

This great new filter has the drum and the moving bed in the same unit, meaning it has a huge biological and mechanical capability with a really small footprint. This filter can be purchased to run on either a pump-fed or a gravity-fed system. The Oase drum screens ensure that no tiny particles can get through the filter so the water stays crystal clear. They then remove the need for cleaning by having a built-in pressure washer that blasted the dirt off of the drum screens using pond water and flushes all of the dirt into the drain. For this reason, the filter does need to always be plumbed into the waste. Each cleaning cycle uses a tiny amount of water so there is no need to have the pond plumbed into mains water. Topping up once a week will be sufficient. The constant rotation of water also helps to keep the pond water on a rotation meaning that vital nutrients and minerals in the water which fish require are replenished more frequently which can greatly aid fish health.

After the drum, the water passes through a moving bed which contains Helex-13 media which is constantly rotated by an air stone and air pump, this means there is lots of oxygen enabling the beneficial bacteria to reproduce quickly and the constant rotation also prevents anything building upon the surface of the Helex-13 - leaving it clear for the population of filter bacteria.

We have installed this fantastic filter on our timber pond display and it is working effortlessly to keep this highly stocked koi pond clean and clear. What's more, the water quality is fantastic with no spikes in ammonia or nitrite and the maintenance is next to none.

This filter is suitable for Koi ponds up to 7700 gallons (35000 litres)
