Oase ProfiClear Premium XL Rotary Drum Filter System Pump Fed
The OASE ProfiClear Premium XL Pump-Fed is a professional-grade, fully automatic modular filtration system designed for large koi ponds and swim ponds. This advanced system combines rotary drum mechanical filtration, moving bed biological filtration, and high-level aeration to deliver crystal-clear water with minimal maintenance.
Key Features:
- Fully automatic self-cleaning rotary drum filter
- Modular design allows customization for any pond size
- Drum filter removes debris down to 60 microns
- Built-in high-pressure cleaning pump for automatic drum rinsing
- Moving bed biological filtration strips ammonia and nitrites
- High-level aeration throughout all modules
- Sensor-based, timed, or manual cleaning options
- Integrated sludge drains in all modules for easy maintenance
- Compatible with Bitron Premium 60 & 180 UVC clarifiers
- Remote operation and monitoring via OASE Control app (requires Garden Cloud Controller, sold separately)
- Qualifies for OASE Clear Water Guarantee with proper pump and UVC
Pump-Fed Installation:
Pump-fed systems install above water level. A pump at the bottom of your pond pushes dirty water up to the filter system. After filtration, clean water returns to the pond by gravity (flowing downhill). This design is ideal when you can position the filter above pond level, such as beside a waterfall or on a deck.
How the System Works:
- Mechanical Filtration: The Drum Filter Module sieves incoming water down to 60 microns, automatically cleaning itself via high-pressure spray
- Biological Filtration: Moving bed modules process dissolved waste, breaking down ammonia and nitrites
- Aeration: Integrated aeration throughout modules adds oxygen and supports beneficial bacteria
- UV Clarification: Optional Bitron Premium UVC eliminates green water and controls algae
- Return: Clean, clear water flows back to your pond by gravity
Modular Design Benefits:
- Customize system size by adding modules to match your pond volume and fish load
- Start with essential modules and expand as needed
- Each module serves a specific filtration purpose
- Easy to maintain—each module drains independently via sludge valve
Smart Control Options:
- Operate and monitor remotely via OASE Control app
- Requires OASE Garden Cloud Controller (sold separately)
- Monitor system status from anywhere in the world
- Adjust settings and receive alerts remotely
Perfect For:
- Large koi ponds
- Swim ponds and natural swimming pools
- Professional koi keeping
- High-end residential water features
- Ponds requiring maximum filtration capacity
Compatible Accessories:
- Bitron Premium 60 UVC Clarifier
- Bitron Premium 180 UVC Clarifier
- OASE Garden Cloud Controller for remote monitoring
- Additional moving bed modules for increased bio-filtration
Note: System is modular—contact us for custom configuration based on your pond size and requirements. UVC clarifiers, pump, and Garden Cloud Controller sold separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between pump-fed and gravity-fed ProfiClear systems?
A: Pump-fed systems (like this XL Pump-Fed) install above water level. A pump in your pond pushes water up to the filter, and clean water returns by gravity. This works well when you can position the filter above the pond. Gravity-fed systems install at pond level (usually in an underground vault) and use bottom drains—water flows naturally to the filter by gravity, and a pump in the final module returns it to the pond. Gravity-fed systems are preferred for serious koi ponds, while pump-fed systems offer more flexible installation options.
Q: How do I know which modules I need for my pond?
A: The ProfiClear Premium XL is a modular system that's customized based on your pond volume, fish load, and filtration goals. At minimum, you'll need the Drum Filter Module for mechanical filtration. Add moving bed modules for biological filtration based on your fish load—more fish require more bio-filtration capacity. We recommend consulting with an OASE dealer or pond professional to design the optimal configuration for your specific pond. Contact us with your pond details for a custom recommendation.
Q: Can I control and monitor this system remotely?
A: Yes! When paired with the OASE Garden Cloud Controller (sold separately), you can operate and monitor your ProfiClear Premium XL system from anywhere using the OASE Control app on your smartphone or tablet. This allows you to check system status, adjust cleaning intervals, receive maintenance alerts, and monitor performance remotely—perfect for vacation homes or when you're away from your pond.
