The OASE AquaMax Eco Expert is a professional-grade brushless DC pump designed for demanding filtration systems, large waterfalls, and recreational ponds. Available in both 220V and 12V models, these next-generation pumps deliver exceptional power and energy efficiency with advanced protection features including Seasonal Flow Control that saves up to 50% energy.

Key Features:

  • Brushless DC motor for powerful, energy-efficient operation
  • Seasonal Flow Control (SFC) reduces flow and energy use up to 50% as water cools
  • Robust stainless steel intake screen handles debris up to 0.44"
  • Patented frost protection down to -4°F—can remain in pond all winter
  • Environmental Function Control (EFC) prevents run-dry damage
  • Integrated grounding plate for electrical safety
  • No minimum operating head height—won't cavitate like direct drive pumps
  • OASE Control compatible for remote monitoring and adjustment
  • Works in fresh, salt, and chlorinated water
  • Submersible or in-line installation
  • Qualifies for OASE Clear Water Guarantee with compatible filters and UVC
  • 5-year warranty

Seasonal Flow Control (SFC):

This patented feature automatically adjusts pump performance based on water temperature. As water cools in fall and winter, SFC reduces flow, lowers head height, and cuts energy consumption by up to 50%—responding to lower seasonal demand while saving electricity. In spring, performance automatically increases as water warms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between the 120V and 12V models?
A: The 20V models (6800 and 11500) are standard line voltage pumps for most commercial applications. The 12V models (5300 and 7100) are specifically designed for recreational ponds, swim ponds, and public fountains where submersible line voltage pumps are prohibited for safety reasons. Both use the same brushless DC technology and offer the same advanced features like SFC and frost protection, just at different voltages.

Q: How much energy does Seasonal Flow Control really save?
A: SFC can reduce energy consumption by up to 50% during cooler months. As water temperature drops in fall and winter, fish metabolism slows and they produce less waste, so you don't need as much filtration. SFC automatically reduces pump flow, lowers head height, and cuts wattage accordingly. For example, if your pump normally uses 260 watts, it might drop to 130 watts in winter. Over the course of a year, this can result in significant electricity savings while still maintaining adequate filtration for your fish.

Q: What does "no minimum head height" mean and why is it important?
A: Traditional direct drive pumps require a minimum amount of water pressure (head height) above them to operate properly. If the water level drops too low, they can experience suction cavitation, which damages the pump. The AquaMax Eco Expert has no minimum head height requirement, meaning it can operate effectively even at very low water levels without risk of cavitation damage. This makes it more versatile and reliable, especially in applications with varying water levels or when used in-line installations.
