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

► For cleaning garden ponds.
► Operate in accordance with instructions. (→ Technical data)

► 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
