Genuine Oase ProfiClear drum motors and replacement sieve sets, with help identifying the right part
A drum filter is a system, not just a stainless-steel screen. Its motor, drive, spray cleaning and sieve panels all have to work together. This category currently contains genuine Oase parts for the ProfiClear Premium family: the replacement drum motor and complete eight-panel Compact-L sieve sets in 30, 60 and 150 micron grades.
The most important part of ordering is identifying the exact filter generation and size. ProfiClear Premium Compact-M, Compact-L, DF-L, DF-XL and BioTec Premium 80000 are not interchangeable names. A motor may cover several models while a sieve set is specifically described for the Premium/Compact-L arrangement.
If you are unsure, send us photographs of the filter label and failed part before ordering. That small check is much easier than draining a chamber twice.
Choose the Sieve Grade for the Job
30 micron sieve set provides the finest screening in this group, but fine panels can trigger more frequent cleaning and demand a healthy spray system. The 60 micron sieve set is the familiar all-round choice for fine mechanical filtration. The 150 micron sieve set passes smaller particles more readily but can reduce cleaning frequency where throughput matters more than polishing.
Do not mix grades casually across one drum. Use the complete matching set and follow Oase guidance for the installed filter.
Diagnose Before Replacing the Motor
A stationary drum is not proof that the ProfiClear Premium drum motor has failed. Isolate the unit and check the controller message, water-level sensors, drive connection, free movement of the drum and cleaning cycle. A jammed drum, dirty sensor or electrical issue can present as a motor problem.
The genuine replacement motor is listed for several ProfiClear Premium and BioTec Premium models. Confirm the exact compatibility and arrange safe electrical work before fitting.
Our Practical Advice on Drum-Filter Spares
Keep the filter label, part number and a photograph of the installation with your maintenance records. When a consumable or drive part eventually needs attention, those details prevent guesswork.
Not certain which part you need? Send us the model plate, overall sieve-panel dimensions and a close photograph. We would rather identify it properly before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these genuine Oase parts?
The current ProfiClear motor and sieve sets are listed as genuine Oase replacement parts.
What is included in a sieve set?
Each current Compact-L listing is for a complete set of eight sieve panels.
Is 30 micron always the best choice?
No. It gives finer screening but normally needs more cleaning and a spray system in excellent condition.
What is the practical difference between 60 and 150 micron?
The 60 micron set captures finer particles. The 150 micron set favours easier throughput and less-frequent cleaning.
Can I fit Compact-L panels to any ProfiClear?
Do not assume so. Confirm the exact filter model and generation before ordering.
Does a non-turning drum always need a new motor?
No. Check sensors, controller warnings, obstructions, drive parts and free drum movement first.
Which filters use the listed motor?
The listing covers specified ProfiClear Premium Compact-M, Compact-L, DF-L, DF-XL and BioTec Premium 80000 models; verify your exact version.
Can I replace only one sieve panel?
The current products are complete eight-panel sets. Matching panels across the drum gives consistent screening.
Should I isolate the filter before servicing?
Yes. Isolate water and electrical supplies and follow the manufacturer instructions.
Can you identify a part from a photograph?
Usually. Include the model plate, old part, connector and overall filter.
Why is the drum cleaning more often than before?
A dirty level sensor, reduced spray pressure, finer screens, higher waste load or partially blocked panels can all contribute.
How should sieve panels be cleaned?
Use the approved method and avoid damaging the fine mesh. Never use tools that stretch or puncture it.
Do I need new seals when replacing a motor?
Check the parts diagram and instructions for the exact model; replace disturbed or damaged seals as specified.
Can I change micron grade to improve clarity?
Possibly, but assess cleaning frequency, spray performance and filter capacity before moving to a finer grade.
Do you stock other filter spares?
The range is expanding. Contact us with the filter make, model and part number if the required item is not shown.
