About Oase AquaOxy 250
The AquaOxy 250 from Oase is a small pond aerator intended to supply oxygen to garden ponds. According to Oase’s product pages and specification tables, the unit delivers a maximum air flow of 250 litres per hour while consuming 4 watts of electrical power. The product is shown with IP44 splash‑water protection and is described by the manufacturer as suitable for outdoor installation. Oase lists the AquaOxy 250 as suitable for ponds up to 3.0 m³ (manufacturer text), which is a general pond capacity recommendation rather than a fish‑count or koi capacity figure. Oase presents pressure values in its specification table (including a maximum pressure output listed as 0.15 bar). The manufacturer does not provide a maximum head in metres for this model, and no UVC/UV lamp rating applies. The product is supplied with a 3.00 m power cable (manufacturer stated). The official specification table also lists physical dimensions (167 × 106 × 75 mm) and a net weight of 0.999 kg. Oase publishes spare‑part references for replaceable items such as membrane sets, air stones and hoses for this model. Some details on Oase’s pages are inconsistent (for example, hose/stone quantities, voltage wording and airflow control) — these discrepancies are noted in the limitations section below. The descriptive text and the structured specification table both come from Oase; where they disagree, the differences are reported rather than reconciled or assumed.
Best for
Aerating small garden ponds up to 3,000 L; ponds with high fish stock (manufacturer text states suitability)
Things to consider
All specification items are taken from Oase product pages. Oase’s pages contain internal conflicts for this SKU: (1) Hose/stone supply — the English product narrative states 'two 5‑meter air hoses and two wear‑free aeration stones' while the structured specification table lists '1 pc / 10 m / 4.5 mm' hose and '1' air stone. (2) Voltage wording — the product narrative refers to 'safe 12V technology' but the specification table lists rated voltage as 220–240 V, 230 V / 50 Hz. (3) Airflow control — the narrative states 'the airflow is continuously adjustable' while the spec table lists 'Mechanical adjustment: No.' Oase provides pressure in bar (max. 0.15 bar shown) but does not provide a maximum head in metres for this model. Oase does not provide a numeric fish or koi capacity (only the general pond volume recommendation). No UV/UVC rating is given (not applicable). Where Oase’s pages disagree, both statements are reported rather than reconciled.
Installation
Oase states the AquaOxy 250 is suitable for outdoor installation and lists 'Outdoor suitability: Unlimited' on product pages. The unit has IP44 splash‑water protection. The product is supplied with a 3.00 m power cable according to the specification table. Because Oase’s pages contain conflicting wording about supply voltage (12V wording in narrative vs 220–240 V in the spec table), consult the manufacturer’s official product documentation or manual before installation to confirm the electrical/wiring requirements.
Maintenance
Oase lists replacement spare parts for the AquaOxy 250 (for example membrane set part no. 72924, air stone part no. 22079, and air hose part no. 15253). The manufacturer warranty is stated as 2 years. Follow Oase’s official maintenance instructions in the product documentation for service intervals and parts replacement.
Safety
The product is described with IP44 splash protection. Oase’s product pages contain conflicting voltage statements; verify the correct supply and any transformer/adapter requirements in the official product manual. Follow all instructions and safety guidance provided by Oase for outdoor electrical equipment.
