3 Product Description
A
The filter system must be installed above the water level of the pond. A filter pump pumps the dirty pond
water out of the pond into the filter system. The clean water is returned to the pond through a pipe via
gravity.
Advantages of the pump fed system:
►Minimal installation work required
►System can be easily extended
►Simple upstream connection of UVC clarifiers.
►Perfectly tailored to the AquaMax Eco Premium filter pump from OASE
3.1 Intended use
Only use the product described in this manual as follows:
►For cleaning garden ponds.
►Operate in accordance with instructions. (→ Technical data)
►Use for private purposes only.
The following restrictions apply to the unit:

3.3 Function description
ProfiClear Premium Compact combines the removal of coarse dirt particles and biological filtration in one
unit. Screens separate all types of dirt particles before the water reaches the biological filtration. By
separating the suspended solids, the filter removes most of the nutrient matter from the water. Following
this mechanical filtration, the Hel-X biomedia in the moving bed system carry out the biological filtration of
the pond water.
The control system with an integrated micro-controller system automatically controls and monitors the
filtration process. The automatic self-cleaning function can be individually adjusted to meet the user's
requirements.
Hel-X bio-elements ensure the effective break-down of nutrients and contaminants in the water. Over the
course of time, the surface of the bio-elements is colonised by bacteria responsible for nitrification and
denitrification. They clean the water before it leaves the container. The fluidized bed process (action of
the water flow and oxygen supply) and the bypass technology ensure optimum movement of the Hel-X
bio-elements even at high flow rates. The biological system is self-cleaning and does not need additional
maintenance.
15.85 gal (60 l) of Hel-X biomedia are able to break down the nutrients of approx. 14.4 oz (408 g) of
fish food per day, given optimum conditions. If required, this can be increased to 21.0 gal (80 l) or
22.5 gal (85 l), i.e. 19.2 oz/day (544 g/day) or 20.4 oz/day (578 g/day).
The development of the micro-organisms in the filter takes several days. It can be accelerated by adding
biological starter bacteria.
BioKick contains millions of active micro-organisms. They start cleaning the water immediately. The
biology in the filter is fully developed within only a few weeks.
Nitrification is the process by which ammonia/ammonium and nitrite are removed from the water by
special bacteria. These substances can build up in the water, for example as a result of fish food and fish
excrement. Ammonia is particularly toxic for fish.
Nitrification takes place in two steps. In the first step, the bacteria convert the ammonia/ammonium into
nitrite. In the second step, other bacteria convert this nitrite into nitrate, which although non-toxic, promotes
the growth of algae. Both steps use oxygen that is taken from the water.
Denitrification is the process by which nitrate is broken down to gaseous nitrogen. In the event of a low
oxygen content, the bacteria use the nitrate nitrogen as a source of oxygen and convert it into atmospheric
nitrogen. Atmospheric nitrogen cannot be used by algae and aquatic plants.
3.4 Easy Garden Control System (EGC)
This product can communicate with the Easy Garden Control-System (EGC). EGC allows convenient
control in the garden and pond via smartphone or tablet, and ensures maximum convenience and
reliability. Information about EGC and the possibilities it offers can be found at www.oase-
livingwater.com/na/egc.

4 Installation and connection
WARNING
Electrical current may cause death or severe injuries.
►Ensure that the unit is installed in a flood protected position at a distance of at least 6.6 ft (2 m) from
the water.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to sharp-edged components.
►Proceed with caution during any work on the filter container to prevent injuries caused by sharp-edged
components.
NOTE
If the planned installation deviates significantly from the recommendations contained in this manual:
►Have your specialist retailer check whether all technical specifications were adhered to. This is crucial
for a problem-free operation.
4.1 Transporting the container
WARNING
Due to the high weight of the unit, spinal injuries or crushing of limbs is possible when carrying the unit.
The unit weighs more than 55 lb (25 kg). (→ Technical data)
►Have a minimum of 4 persons carry the container on the handles to avoid spinal injuries.
►Protect limbs from crushing.
►Do not transport the unit when it is filled.
D
The filter container has four handles for carrying. Do not use any other carrying or transport aids (e.g.
transport by crane).
