About OASE AquaMax Eco Premium 7000

The OASE AquaMax Eco Premium 7000 is a filter / watercourse / pond circulation pump intended for use either submerged or installed dry. Manufacturer technical data list a maximum flow of 7,000 litres per hour and a maximum head of 4.00 metres. The unit is IP68 rated with a maximum permitted immersion depth of 4 m and is supplied with a 10.0 m power cable. Inlet and outlet threads are G 2, and the pump is compatible with hose adaptors for 25 / 32 / 38 mm (1", 1¼", 1½") connections. The pump includes OASE features described in the official documentation: Environmental Function Control (EFC) which performs automatic self‑tests and detects dry running or blockages, and electronic control compatibility with the OASE Control ecosystem (Eco Control accessory, app/cloud integration). The pump supports Seasonal Flow Control (SFC) for temperature‑dependent flow adjustment when submerged. Manufacturer materials also list a filter intake surface area of 1,000 cm² and maximum coarse solids handling up to 11 mm. The product is listed as frost‑resistant for storage/down‑time to −20 °C. There is a manufacturer inconsistency in published materials about electrical power: the product page headline states 50 W while the official instruction manual technical table lists a range of 12 ... 45 W for the 7000 model. Because the two OASE sources conflict, the electrical power rating is not resolved here and should be confirmed with OASE for a single definitive value. The product page gives a guarantee period of 3 + 2 years.

Best for

Filter pumping, watercourse/waterfall installations and pond circulation; installations requiring electronic control or seasonal flow adjustment (submerged or dry install).

Things to consider

Manufacturer materials contain internal inconsistencies: the OASE product page states a power consumption of 50 W while the official instruction manual technical table lists 12 ... 45 W for the 7000 model — this conflict is unresolved in first‑party sources so the electrical power field is left null here. Small inconsistencies in published dimensions exist (product page vs manual). OASE does not supply manufacturer‑stated pond, fish or koi capacity figures for this model. No UV/UVC specifications are provided because the pump is not documented as including a UV unit.

Installation

Can be installed submerged or dry; IP68 rated with a maximum immersion depth of 4 m. Inlet/outlet threads are G 2; compatible hose adapter sizes 25 / 32 / 38 mm (1", 1¼", 1½"). Supplied with a 10.0 m cable. Rated for 220–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Seasonal Flow Control operates only when the pump is submerged. Consult the OASE instruction manual for detailed site, mounting and electrical installation guidance.

Maintenance

Includes Environmental Function Control (EFC) which performs automatic self‑tests (every 20–40 minutes per manual) and detects dry running or blockages; the pump will shut down automatically after approximately 60–120 seconds if dry or blocked (manufacturer manual). Follow the OASE instruction manual for cleaning and maintenance intervals and service procedures.

Safety

Rated voltage 220–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. IP68 rated — observe maximum immersion depth of 4 m. EFC provides dry‑run/block protection and will shut the pump down if a fault is detected. Product is frost‑resistant for storage/down‑time to −20 °C. Refer to the official manual for full safety and electrical wiring instructions.
