3 Product Description
The OASE filter system ProfiClear Premium Compact includes the drum filter unit ProficClear Premium
Compact and the ProfiClear Premium individual module. Depending on the module, the filter system can
be operated as a pump fed or gravity fed system. An additional Moving Bed module can be connected to
the gravity fed system.
3.1 Intended use
ProfiClear Premium Compact-L EGC may only be used as follows:
►For cleaning garden ponds.
►Operate in accordance with instructions. (→ Technical data)
The following restrictions apply to the unit:
►Only operate with water at a water temperature of +4 °C to +35 °C.
►Never use the unit with fluids other than water.
►Do not use for commercial or industrial purposes.
►Not suitable for salt water.
►Never run the unit without water.
►Do not use in conjunction with chemicals, foodstuff, easily flammable or explosive substances.
3.2 Pump fed system
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
3.3 Gravity fed system
B
The filter system is completely buried (filter pit). The inlet opening is located beneath the water level of the
pond. The dirty pond water enters the drum filter unit via bottom drains or skimmers and then flows into
the downstream pump chamber. According to the principle of communicating pipes (hydrostatic pressure),
the water level balances out in the containers to the level of the pond. A pump in the pump chamber
pumps the clean water via a pipe back into the pond.
Advantages of the gravity fed system:
►Excellent transport and thus effective removal of suspended particles using the principle of gravity
►Energy efficient due to negligible height differences and low frictional losses
►Can be unobtrusively integrated in a water garden
►UVC clarifiers can be connected in series downstream and are subject to less soiling.
►Perfectly tailored to the AquaMax Gravity Eco filter pump from OASE

3.5 Function description
ProfiClear Premium Compact combines the removal of coarse dirt particles and biological filtration in one
unit. Screens (60 μm) 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.
The drum filter unit ProfiClear Premium Compact can be extended by the ProfiClear Premium Individual
Module + Moving Bed Module when installed as a gravity fed system.
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.
60 l of Hel-Xbiomedia are able to break down the nutrients from approx. 408 g fish food per day,
given optimum conditions. If required, this can be increased to 80 l or 85 l, i.e. 544 g/day or
respectively 578 g/day.
The development of the biology in the filter takes several days. It can be accelerated by adding BioKick
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.
3.6 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/egc-start.
