Pond Pump
OASE AquaMax Eco Premium 9000
Model: AquaMax Eco Premium 9000
High-capacity OASE pond pump with a manufacturer-stated maximum flow of 9,000 l/h and a maximum head of 4.5 m. The official product page shows conflicting power-consumption values, which are reported in limitations.
About OASE AquaMax Eco Premium 9000
The OASE AquaMax Eco Premium 9000 is a high-flow pond/filter and watercourse pump intended for both submerged and dry (pump-chamber) installation. According to the manufacturer's product page, it delivers a maximum flow of 9,000 litres per hour (also shown as 150 l/min) and a maximum head of 4.50 m. The pump is built with large inlet/filter area and is rated to handle coarse debris up to 11 mm, making it suitable for applications where relatively large solids can occur. The product page lists a 10.00 m power cable and G 2 threaded connections on both suction and pressure sides; hose adapters for 25 / 32 / 38 / 50 mm (1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2", 2") are provided for common hose sizes. Physical dimensions and weight are given as 340 × 275 × 160 mm and 5.95 kg respectively. OASE states frost resistance down to −20 °C and provides a standard guarantee described as 3 + 2 years (manufacturer guarantee with requestable extension). The pump supports electronic control features: an OASE Control interface on the motor housing, compatibility with optional OASE Eco Control accessory, electronic adjustment capability, and OASE Environmental Function Control (EFC) for protection against dry running and blockages. The product page also references a Seasonal Flow Control function within the model family for temperature-dependent flow reduction. Note that the manufacturer page contains conflicting entries for electrical power consumption (see limitations). Several other items often requested by customers (manufacturer-stated pond/fish/koi capacities, IP protection rating, any UVC rating) are not provided on the product page and therefore are not asserted here.
Best for
High-flow pond filtration and watercourse applications where robust solids handling, electronic control and frost resistance are required; suitable for submerged or dry pump-chamber installation.
Things to consider
The OASE product page contains conflicting values for electrical power consumption: a specification table shows 14–60 W while a product description paragraph states 70 W. Because both values appear on the official page, a single definitive wattage is not provided here. Manufacturer-stated pond/fish/koi capacities, UVC/UV specifications, IP (protection) rating and operating pressure (bar/kPa) are not provided on the product page and are therefore unknown.
Installation
Manufacturer states the pump may be installed submerged or in a dry pump chamber. Suction and pressure connections are G 2; hose adapters supplied for 25/32/38/50 mm hoses. Rated voltage 220–240 V / 50/60 Hz. The product page references an OASE Control interface on the housing and compatibility with the optional OASE Eco Control accessory for bidirectional control and electronic adjustment. Seasonal Flow Control and EFC (Environmental Function Control) are mentioned as features.
Maintenance
Manufacturer lists a filter intake surface of 1,000 cm² and a maximum coarse debris size of 11 mm—these are relevant when planning cleaning and maintenance, but no maintenance intervals or procedures are provided on the product page. EFC is stated to provide protection against dry running and blockages.
Safety
Rated voltage is 220–240 V / 50/60 Hz (manufacturer-stated). The product page cites Environmental Function Control (EFC) to protect against dry running and blockages and states frost resistance to −20 °C. The official page does not provide an IP (ingress protection) rating.
