The Oase AquaOxy 500 is a high-performance pond air pump designed for garden pond owners who need a reliable way to maintain oxygen levels for fish and aquatic plants. With a capacity of 500 litres of aeration per hour, it effectively supports pond ecosystems up to 5,000 litres. While it is built for outdoor durability, users should be aware that proper placement is required to keep the unit protected from direct water submersion, as it is a splash-proof device rather than a submersible pump.

It is splash-proof for outdoor use, but it must not be submerged in the pond water.
It is rated for up to 5,000 litres. For larger ponds, you may need a more powerful model or multiple units to maintain adequate oxygenation.
Diaphragms should be inspected annually and replaced if you notice a decrease in performance or if the rubber shows signs of cracking.
While 5m is included, using significantly longer tubing may reduce the air pressure reaching the stones due to friction loss.
It is often recommended to keep it running in winter to prevent the pond from freezing over completely, provided the pump is protected from harsh elements.
Check the airlines for kinks or clogs and ensure the air stones are clean from mineral deposits.
Verify the unit is placed on a flat, vibration-dampening surface and not touching other hard objects.
Inspect the internal diaphragms for wear or tearing and replace them using the included kit if necessary.
To set up your AquaOxy 500, place the pump on a stable, dry surface above the water level to prevent back-siphoning. Connect the two 5m airlines to the pump outlets and attach the air stones. For maintenance, ensure the area around the air intake remains free of dust and debris. If you notice a decline in air pressure over time, use the provided replacement diaphragm set to restore performance. The device is compatible with most standard pond setups and can be integrated into existing Oase filtration systems for enhanced performance.
