About OASE AquaMax Eco Premium 6000 / 12 V
The OASE AquaMax Eco Premium 6000 / 12 V is a 12‑volt filter pump intended for swimming/bathing pond applications and general pond filtration use. The manufacturer specifies a maximum flow of 6,000 litres per hour and a maximum head of 3.20 metres for the exact model. The unit is designed to be installed either submerged or dry and is stated by OASE to be frost‑resistant down to −20 °C. The pump includes environmental protection features (EFC) to help protect against blockages and run‑dry conditions, and a patented second connection designed for an auxiliary satellite filter or surface skimmer with mechanical regulation from 0–100%. It does not offer electronic speed adjustment and is not compatible with OASE Control. Physical and connection details given by OASE include G 2 pressure and suction connections, hose adaptor sizes 25/32/38 mm (1", 1¼", 1½"), overall dimensions 340 × 280 × 165 mm, and a manufacturer‑listed filter intake surface of 1,000 cm². OASE lists the pump's cable arrangement as 2.50 m (power unit) plus 8.00 m (to pump). The product carries a 3 + 2 year guarantee (3 years standard plus 2 years additional on registration). Certain technical items are not resolved on the official pages: OASE does not state pond capacity guidance, UV lamp power (no UVC present), or an IP rating on the product page. There are also on‑page conflicts in the official materials (see Limitations). If you require clarification on the conflicting entries (power consumption, solids size, weight) OASE product instructions or manufacturer support should be consulted.
Best for
Swimming/bathing ponds and filter circulation where a 12 V, up to 6,000 l/h pump is required; suitable as a filter pump with satellite filter/skimmer connection.
Things to consider
Official OASE materials for this model contain internal conflicts and omissions. Power consumption appears as both 45 W (specification table) and 55 W (marketing text) on OASE pages; because these are conflicting first‑party values the electrical consumption is recorded as unknown here. Maximum coarse debris displacement is listed as 10 mm in the specification table but 11 mm in other feature text. Net weight is given as 8.03 kg on the UK/INT page and 8.7 kg on the CH regional page. OASE does not state pond capacity guidance (general, fish or koi), UV/UVC details, or an IP ingress rating on the referenced product page.
Installation
Can be installed submerged or dry. Includes separate power unit and long cable run (2.50 m power unit cable + 8.00 m to pump). Has a secondary connection for a satellite filter or skimmer that is mechanically adjustable 0–100%. Manufacturer states frost‑protection to −20 °C.
Safety
Equipped with EFC to protect against block/run‑dry conditions (manufacturer stated). Not compatible with OASE Control. Follow manufacturer instructions (product manual) for electrical connections and safe installation of the external power unit.
