What is a Pressure Filter?
Overview of Pressure Filtration Technology
A pressure filter is a sealed filtration system that allows pressurized water flow back into the pond. Unlike traditional gravity-fed filters, a pressure filter can be installed below water level or hidden away while still allowing water to be pumped to waterfalls or fountains.
How It Differs from Traditional Pond Filters
- Can be buried or concealed, making it ideal for decorative ponds
- Allows for higher water pressure, enabling water to be pumped uphill to waterfalls
- Integrated UV clarifiers help prevent algae blooms and green water
- Easy-clean mechanisms simplify maintenance
Understanding the Oase Pressure Filter Range
Oase offers a variety of pressure filters designed for different pond sizes and needs.
Key Features and Technologies
- Mechanical Filtration – Captures solid debris such as leaves and fish waste
- Biological Filtration – Supports beneficial bacteria that break down harmful toxins
- UV Clarification – Reduces algae growth and prevents green water
- Pressurized Design – Allows installation flexibility and enhanced water flow
Types of Oase Pressure Filters

Choosing the Right Oase Pressure Filter
When selecting a pressure filter, consider:
- Pond size – Larger ponds require higher filtration capacity
- Fish stocking levels – More fish produce more waste
- Sun exposure – More sunlight leads to higher algae growth, requiring a stronger UV clarifier, an environmental factor often discussed in New Solutions Journal.
Installation Guide for Oase Pressure Filters
Step-by-Step Installation Process
- Position the filter in a location suitable for maintenance access.
- Connect the pump outlet to the filter inlet.
- Attach the return hose to direct filtered water back to the pond or waterfall.
- Plug in the UV clarifier and ensure proper operation.
Maintenance and Cleaning
How to Use the Easy-Clean Function
- Turn off the pump.
- Activate the cleaning handle to squeeze out debris.
- Open the waste valve to flush out dirty water.
- Restart the filter for normal operation.
