The OASE Filtoclear 5000 is a pressure filter with a built-in 18W UVC clarifier, suited to small ponds with a flow of up to 5,000 L/h. It combines mechanical and biological filtration across layered filter foams with UVC treatment, so green water, algae and pathogens are dealt with in one compact unit.

It sits beside the pond, in the garden or in a pump room, and can be buried up to the lid. A pump in the pond feeds the filter and clean water returns to the pond through hose. We recommend these filters often, even at their higher price, because over many years we have found them reliable, effective and simple.

Features & Benefits

• Patented cleaning mechanism: pull the handle to squeeze the foams clean from the outside, with no need to open the filter or touch the water.
• Two-way valve sends dirty water to the pond or to waste, such as a garden bed, after cleaning.
• Built-in 18W UVC clarifier keeps green water at bay and reduces harmful bacteria and pathogens.
• UV lamp can be changed while the filter is running, with no need to remove the quartz sleeve.
• OASE bypass technology keeps water flowing and helps prevent clogging.
• Tough plastic housing with a metal clamping ring and lever for safe, easy opening.
• Blue indicator light on the lid shows when the UV lamp is on.
• Optional stone-look FiltoCap cover blends the filter into the garden.

How to Use

• Pair it with a solids-handling pump rated up to about 5,000 L/h. Close to the pond with no lift after the filter, the OASE Aquamax Eco Classic 5500 is ideal. If the filter sits several metres away or feeds a waterfall, step up to the OASE Aquamax Eco Classic 8500, depending on the height.
• For hose, 38mm black pond tubing suits this model. Allow enough for the runs from the pump to the filter and back to the pond.
• Position the filter beside the pond, buried up to the lid if you wish, and connect the pump to the inlet and the outlet to the pond.
• To clean, pull the handle to squeeze the foams, then flush the dirty water to waste through the two-way valve.
• Replace the UV globe every 12 months. It may still light up after that, but it is no longer effective against algae.

Recommended For

• Ponds up to 2,000L with no fish, 1,500L with goldfish, or 1,200L with koi.
• Pond keepers who want an easy-to-clean filter and UV clarifier in one unit.
• Ponds with green water, or those that get plenty of sun.
