Product Information

Full details

The Oase BioSmart 18000 is an ideal filtration solution for pond owners managing aquatic ecosystems up to 36 cubic meters who prioritize biological water quality and low-maintenance operation. It provides an efficient flow-through system that utilizes specialized filter foams to cultivate beneficial bacteria, ensuring a healthy environment for pond life. While it excels at biological processing, users should note that it requires an external UVC clarifier for complete algae control.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this filter come with a UVC clarifier included?

No, the BioSmart 18000 does not include a UVC clarifier. It is designed to be paired with Oase Vitronic or Bitron C units for algae control.

Can this filter be placed below the water level?

No, this is a flow-through gravity filter and must be installed above the water level so that the outlet can drain back into the pond.

How often should I clean the foams?

Clean as needed based on the pollutant indicator. Frequency will depend on your pond's stocking levels and feeding habits.

Is it possible to bury this unit?

Yes, it is designed to be partially buried to blend into the landscape, provided the outlet remains above the pond water level.

Which hose size should I use?

The unit is compatible with 25mm, 32mm, and 38mm hoses, allowing you to choose the size that matches your pump output.

Troubleshooting

Water is overflowing from the filter lid

Clean the filter foams using the handles, or open the unit to rinse the foams if they are severely clogged with debris.

Low water flow output

Check that the pump intake is not blocked by pond debris and verify that hoses are not kinked or restricted.

Pollutant indicator is consistently red

Perform a thorough cleaning of the sludge drain and ensure that your pond's biological load is not exceeding the unit's 36-cubic-meter capacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Efficient biological filtration with maximized surface area
Easy maintenance through sludge drain and cleaning handles
Onboard monitoring tools for pollutant levels and temperature
Discreet design allows for partial burial in garden beds

Cons

Requires a separate UVC clarifier unit for optimal algae management
Not intended for ponds exceeding 36 cubic meters
Requires adequate space for burial if choosing that installation method

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: Position the filter on a stable, level surface near the pond edge. If burying, ensure the ground is leveled to prevent tilting. Connect your pump using the appropriate 25, 32, or 38mm hose and secure it with high-quality hose clamps. Ensure the outlet pipe allows for gravity flow back into the pond with a slight decline.

Compatibility: This unit is designed to be fully compatible with Oase Bitron C and Vitronic UVC clarifiers. Always match your pump output to the filter's maximum throughput of 5,500 liters per hour to prevent overflowing.

Care: Regularly monitor the pollutant level indicator. When cleaning is required, pull the cleaning handles several times to compress the foam, then open the bottom sludge drain to flush out the debris. Annually, remove the foams to inspect them for wear and ensure the drain valve remains free of mineral deposits.
