About Oase (Oase Living Water) BioPress 6000
The Oase BioPress 6000 is a pressurised/pressure pond filter with an integrated UVC clarifier intended for small garden ponds. The manufacturer page for SKU 47602 lists the unit as including mechanical and biological filter media (two blue filter foams, one black foam and 20 bio‑surface elements) and a patented cleaning function built into the lid for simple maintenance access. The product is rated for 230 V / 50 Hz operation and the integrated UVC lamp is published as 9 W (UVC power). The product page also states a UVC power consumption of 12 W and a power cable length of 3.00 m for the UVC unit. The housing dimensions are given as Ø 350 × H 450 mm with a net weight of 4.61 kg for the standalone filter (this differs from BioPress set listings that include pumps and list a higher set weight). Hose/adaptor fittings supplied are the metric step sizes 19 / 25 / 32 / 38 mm (also listed as ¾", 1", 1¼", 1½"). The unit has a maximum permitted operating pressure of 0.20 bar and includes a pollutant level indicator on the housing. Oase states suitability guidance on the product page: general ponds up to 6.0 m³, ponds with fish up to 3.0 m³ and koi/heavily stocked ponds up to 1.5 m³. Oase provides an instruction manual download on the product page for installation and service details. The product page for the standalone filter does not publish a maximum flow rate (L/h) or a maximum head (m); those performance figures are published only on separate BioPress set pages that include a pump and therefore do not apply to the standalone filter SKU 47602.
Best for
General garden ponds up to 6.0 m³ (6,000 L); stocked ornamental fish ponds up to 3.0 m³ (3,000 L); koi/heavily stocked ponds up to 1.5 m³ (1,500 L).
Things to consider
The standalone BioPress 6000 product page (SKU 47602) does not state a maximum flow rate (L/h) or maximum head (m) for the filter; pump performance figures shown on separate BioPress 'set' pages apply to those set SKUs (which include a pump) and cannot be applied to this standalone filter SKU. The published electrical consumption (12 W) refers to the UVC unit; no pump power or pump performance is published for the standalone filter. Protection rating (IP) and maintenance interval timings are not specified on the product page.
Installation
Oase states the unit can be buried almost to the lid for integration into the garden and is suitable for supplying elevated watercourses. Supplied with hose/adaptor connections (19/25/32/38 mm). The lid has a patented cleaning handle/function and quick-release for opening. Observe the maximum operating pressure of 0.20 bar. Refer to the downloadable instruction manual on the manufacturer page for full installation requirements.
Maintenance
The unit includes mechanical foams and bio‑surface elements and a patented lid cleaning handle to ease maintenance; a pollutant level indicator is provided. The product page includes an instruction manual download; specific maintenance intervals are not published on the product page.
Safety
The product is published for 230 V / 50 Hz operation and includes an integrated UVC lamp (9 W). The product page does not state an IP/protection rating. Follow the manufacturer instruction manual for electrical and UVC safety instructions.
