The OASE AquaMax Satellite Pre-Filter is a large-surface auxiliary filter that connects to the secondary intake port of AquaMax Eco Premium pumps. This additional filter allows you to pull water from a second location in your pond—perfect for cleaning debris from the pond bottom or adding a remote intake point for better circulation.

Key Features:

  • Connects to secondary intake port of AquaMax Eco Premium pumps
  • Large-surface filter design for maximum debris capture
  • Enables suctioning of polluted water from pond floor
  • Adds a second intake location for improved circulation
  • Compatible with all OASE AquaMax Eco Premium pumps (models 4000-20000)
  • Multiple tubing connector sizes included: 1", 1¼", and 1½"

How It Works:

AquaMax Eco Premium pumps feature a dual intake design—a main intake with wrap-around pre-filter and a secondary intake port. The Satellite Pre-Filter connects to this secondary port via tubing, allowing you to position it anywhere in your pond. Place it on the pond bottom to capture settled debris, in a different area for better circulation, or near problem spots where debris accumulates.

Benefits:

  • Removes debris from pond bottom before it breaks down
  • Improves overall pond circulation
  • Reduces maintenance by capturing debris at the source
  • Flexible placement anywhere in your pond
  • Large surface area prevents clogging

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which AquaMax pumps is this compatible with?
A: The Satellite Pre-Filter is compatible with all OASE AquaMax Eco Premium pumps that have a secondary intake port, including models 4000, 6000, and larger. These pumps feature a dual intake design specifically for connecting auxiliary filters or skimmers. If your pump has a secondary intake port (usually marked on the pump body), you can use the Satellite Pre-Filter.

Q: Where should I place the Satellite Pre-Filter in my pond?
A: The most common placement is on the pond bottom to capture settled debris like leaves, fish waste, and sludge before it breaks down. You can also place it in areas where debris tends to accumulate, in dead zones with poor circulation, or at the opposite end of the pond from your main pump intake for better overall circulation. Connect it to your pump using flexible tubing (sold separately) in the appropriate size (1", 1¼", or 1½").

Q: Do I need to use both the main pump filter and the Satellite Pre-Filter?
A: Yes, the Satellite Pre-Filter is an auxiliary (additional) filter that works alongside your pump's main wrap-around pre-filter. Your pump pulls water through both filters simultaneously—the main filter handles the area around the pump, while the Satellite Pre-Filter captures debris from wherever you've positioned it. This dual-intake setup provides better overall pond cleaning and circulation than a single intake alone.
