About Oase AquaOxy 500 GB
The Oase AquaOxy 500 is a small, mains‑powered aerator pump intended to supply oxygen to garden ponds. Oase publish a maximum flow figure of 500 litres per hour and a rated electrical consumption of 8 W. The unit is supplied with two 5 m hoses (4.5 mm diameter) and two air stones and is presented as suitable for ponds up to 5.0 m³ (5,000 litres); Oase’s product text explicitly also references suitability “or with high fish stock.” The product dimensions and construction are recorded on the manufacturer page: 180 × 140 × 120 mm and a net weight of 1.038 kg. The AquaOxy 500 is rated for 220–240 V (230 V / 50 Hz), includes a 3.00 m power cable and carries IP44 splash‑water protection. Oase list a set of spare parts and accessories (air stone, Y‑distributor, air hose, membrane set) with part numbers on the product page. Oase present pressure information on the page with the text “Pressure: 0.2 / 2.00” and separately “Pressure output, max. 0.2 bar,” but the manufacturer page does not define those two numbers or give a maximum head in metres. The product page also states there is no mechanical adjustment (no variable speed control) and that outdoor installation is possible with “Outdoor suitability: Unlimited.” A two‑year guarantee is shown on the Oase page. This description reports only values and text published by Oase for the AquaOxy 500 GB (manufacturer SKU 57567). Where Oase do not provide a numeric value (for example maximum head in metres or a specific koi/heavy‑stock capacity), those items are not asserted here.
Best for

Things to consider
Oase's product page does not state a maximum head in metres. The page shows pressure as “0.2 / 2.00” and separately “Pressure output, max. 0.2 bar” but does not explain the two numbers; this ambiguity is taken from the manufacturer text. No numeric koi/heavy-stock capacity or UV/UVC lamp wattage is provided on the Oase product page. Oase lists two hoses and two air stones yet shows “Number of outlets: 1 Units” without additional clarification.
