About OASE AquaMax Eco Premium 5000
The AquaMax Eco Premium 5000 is a filter and watercourse pump from OASE intended for garden-pond and watercourse use. Manufacturer data list a maximum flow rate of 5,000 litres per hour and a maximum head of 3.50 metres. The pump has a 10.00 m power cable and pressure/suction connections on G 2 fittings; compatible hose diameters are listed as 25 / 32 / 38 mm (1", 1¼", 1½"). Physical dimensions given by the manufacturer are 340 × 275 × 160 mm. The pump incorporates an OASE Environmental Function Control (EFC) system described by OASE as protection against dry running and blockages. It can be installed submerged or dry in a pump chamber and the manufacturer describes it as frost-proof down to −20 °C. The pump is also shown with an integrated OASE Control interface on the motor housing and supports electronic adjustment and Seasonal Flow Control (SFC) along with connection to OASE Eco Control / Garden Controller Cloud. Manufacturer technical notes include a filter intake surface of 1000 cm² and a maximum coarse debris displacement of 11 mm. The product listing shows a warranty/guarantee described as "3 + 2 Years." Several numeric values (notably power consumption and net weight) are inconsistent across OASE pages for this model; these conflicts are described in the limitations section below. The pump product page does not list pond capacity ratings, UV lamp wattage (the pump does not include a UV unit), IP protection rating, or certain other installation pressures — those items are not stated on the pump product page.
Best for
Pumping for garden ponds, filters and watercourses; use where electronic control and integration with OASE Control systems is required
Things to consider
Manufacturer pages on oase.com contain conflicting first‑party values for at least two fields. Power consumption is listed inconsistently: descriptive text on the pump page mentions "power consumption of 40 watts", the same product specification table lists "Power consumption 10–35 W", and a related FiltoClear 5000 OC filter set page shows the matching pump as 35 W. Net weight is also inconsistent between pages: 5.99 kg (INT product spec) and 6.2 kg (AU regional page). The pump product page does not state pond capacity ratings (general / fish / koi), UV wattage (pump has no UV unit), IP protection rating, operating pressure, or certain other electrical safety ratings. Where values conflict or are not stated, fields herein are left null and the conflicts are reported rather than resolved. For an authoritative single value, consult OASE technical support or the manufacturer datasheet for SKU 75928.
Installation
Can be installed underwater or dry in a pump chamber. Use the G 2 pressure and suction connections or the listed hose sizes (25/32/38 mm). The product is described as frost‑proof to −20 °C. The pump includes an integrated OASE Control interface for electronic adjustment and Seasonal Flow Control; follow OASE guidance when connecting to OASE controllers.
Maintenance
Manufacturer documentation on routine maintenance is located in the pump instruction manual (refer to OASE for the PDF/manual). Manufacturer data include a 1000 cm² filter intake area and a maximum coarse debris displacement of 11 mm — inspect and clean intake areas and hoses according to the OASE manual and local best practice.
