Oase ProfiClear Premium XL Moving Bed Module – Pond Pads

High Capacity Biological Filtration for XL Drum Systems

The Oase ProfiClear Premium XL Moving Bed Module – Pond Pads is a dedicated biological filtration chamber designed to integrate seamlessly with the ProfiClear Premium XL Drum Filter system. It delivers high capacity nitrification for large koi ponds, ornamental ponds and commercial aquatic installations. As a result, it supports stable and predictable water quality in demanding environments.

Positioned directly after the mechanical drum stage, this module focuses entirely on biological filtration. Therefore, it significantly reduces ammonia, ammonium and nitrite before water returns to the pond. In heavily stocked systems, this stage becomes critical. Without strong biological filtration, water stability quickly declines.

The module is suitable for ornamental ponds up to 530,000 litres and koi ponds up to 100,000 litres. Consequently, it is ideal for estate lakes and large private koi ponds. Moreover, it provides the biological strength required in professional filtration builds.

Advanced PondPads Biological Filtration

This configuration includes 60 litres of Oase PondPads biological media. These structured biological pads provide a protected surface area for beneficial bacteria colonisation. As a result, they promote consistent breakdown of ammonia and nitrite in large scale systems.

Unlike fluidised moving media systems, the PondPads operate as a fixed bed biological chamber. Therefore, bacterial colonies remain stable rather than constantly agitated. In turn, this supports predictable nitrification performance. In addition, the fixed structure reduces media abrasion and long term wear.

If required, the module can alternatively be configured to hold up to 100 litres of Hel X media. Consequently, installers can adapt the biological stage to suit stocking density. Furthermore, this flexibility allows different filtration strategies to be implemented where needed.

Modular XL System Integration

The Oase ProfiClear Premium XL Moving Bed Module – Pond Pads forms part of the wider ProfiClear Premium XL modular range. It connects directly to the XL Drum Filter and, where necessary, can be expanded with additional chambers. As a result, total biological capacity can increase alongside fish load.

Furthermore, the module integrates with the Oase Easy Garden Control system. Therefore, installers can monitor performance digitally via the Oase Control app. Because of this modular design, large koi ponds and commercial systems can be scaled confidently and efficiently.

Technical information

• Match the pump flow to the filter and pond volume, allowing for head height and pipework losses.
• Keep unions, valves and waste outlets accessible for cleaning and maintenance.
• Use suitable hose, pressure pipe or DN discharge pipework where specified by the manufacturer.
• Check compatible UV bulbs, quartz sleeves, media and spare parts before the pond season starts.

Plan this product as part of the complete filtration layout, rather than as an isolated item. Check the recommended flow rate, inlet and outlet sizes, waste connection, access for cleaning and the space needed for routine servicing before installation. A well matched filter system is easier to maintain and gives more reliable water clarity over the long term.

Filter setup notes

Compatible Oase Discharge Pipework

This Oase product uses a compatible DN75 outlet/discharge pipework connection, so the matching discharge pipework can be useful when building, extending or repairing the return route from the filter.
