About OASE AquaMax Eco Premium 13000
The AquaMax Eco Premium 13000 from OASE is a filter and watercourse pump intended for pond and watercourse applications. According to OASE product data for this exact GB model (SKU 75932), it delivers a maximum flow of 13,000 litres per hour and can generate a maximum head of 5.00 metres. The pump is supplied with a 10.00 m power cable and supports hose connections of 25 / 32 / 38 / 50 mm (also listed as 1", 1 ¼", 1 ½", 2"). Connections on both the pressure and suction sides are stated as G 2. The unit is described as capable of submerged installation or dry installation in a pump chamber, giving flexibility for different pond set-ups. The intake/filter area is specified as 1000 cm² and the pump can pass solids up to 11 mm in diameter. Manufacturer features highlighted on the OASE pages include Environmental Function Control (EFC) for protection against dry running and blockages, Seasonal Flow Control (SFC) which the manufacturer states can reduce flow/head by up to 50% when activated, and compatibility with OASE Control interfaces and the optional OASE Eco Control. The product is listed as frost-proof down to −20 °C and carries a manufacturer-stated guarantee of "3 + 2 Years." OASE product pages show differing manufacturer values for power consumption (both a range "16–100 W" in the spec table and a narrative reference to "100 W") and slight regional differences in net weight; these conflicts are reported in limitations below. The manufacturer does not provide pond capacity (litres) guidance, koi/fish capacity figures, UV wattage, or an IP protection rating on the product pages consulted.
Best for
Filter and watercourse pump applications; submerged or pump-chamber installation; passing coarse debris up to 11 mm.
Things to consider
OASE product pages for this exact model contain conflicting entries for power consumption: the specification table lists a range of "16–100 W" while narrative text refers to "100 W"; because this conflict is unresolved in the manufacturer sources, powerWatts is left null. Net weight is reported differently on regional OASE pages (6.777 kg on the GB page, 6.9 kg on the INT page); both values are included in specifications. Manufacturer pages consulted do not provide pond capacity guidance (general, fish, or koi), UV/UVC wattage, an IP protection rating, or operating pressure expressed in bar.
