About OASE AquaMax Eco Premium 17000
The OASE AquaMax Eco Premium 17000 is a high-flow pond pump intended for use in circulation and filtration circuits, watercourses and pond features. According to OASE technical material for this exact model, the pump has a manufacturer-stated maximum flow of 17,000 litres per hour and a maximum head of 5.50 metres. OASE presents the pump’s electrical consumption as a range (18–140 W) and also highlights 140 W as the upper figure in marketing text. This model provides threaded pressure and suction connections (G 2) and is compatible with hose diameters 25 / 32 / 38 / 50 mm (1", 1¼", 1½", 2"). The unit’s exterior dimensions are listed as 340 × 275 × 160 mm (L × W × H). OASE states a filter intake surface of 1000 cm² and solids handling up to 11 mm. The power cable length is shown as 10.00 m and the rated voltage is 220–240 V / 50/60 Hz. OASE specifies that the pump can be used submerged or as a dry-installed unit, is frost-proof down to −20 °C, and is protected against dry running and blockages by OASE Environmental Function Control (EFC). Electronic control features are supported: electronic adjustment, Seasonal Flow Control (SFC) to reduce flow/head by up to 50%, compatibility with OASE Control, and an optional Eco Control two-line LCD (app-compatible). The manufacturer lists a guarantee of "3 + 2 Years." Instruction documentation is available from OASE for further technical details. This description is limited to values and features explicitly stated by OASE on their product pages for this model; where OASE presents ranges or regional differences, those are noted separately rather than converted into single definitive values.
Best for
Circulation and filter systems, watercourses and pond features (manufacturer lists pump as for filter / watercourse use).
Things to consider
OASE product pages do not provide any litre-based pond capacity, fish or koi capacities, IP protection rating, or an integrated UV/UVC wattage for this model. Electrical consumption is presented on OASE pages as a range (18–140 W) and the manufacturer text emphasises 140 W as the upper value; because the source presents a range rather than a single rated wattage the structured powerWatts field is left null and the range is recorded in specifications. There are first-party regional inconsistencies on OASE pages: SKU differences (75933 vs 90810) and a small net-weight discrepancy (6.9 kg vs 6.72 kg).
Installation
Manufacturer states the unit may be installed submerged or dry. It is frost-proof to −20 °C and features EFC protection against dry running and blockages. The cable length is listed as 10.00 m. Consult OASE installation documentation for mounting and site requirements.
Maintenance
OASE provides an instruction manual for the model (available from the product/downloads section on oase.com).
