About OASE FiltoClear 31000 GB
The FiltoClear 31000 is a pressurised (pressure) pond filter with an integrated UVC clarifier as supplied by OASE. It combines mechanical/biological filtration using multiple finely structured foams with an integrated 60 W UVC lamp to address green water. The unit is supplied with a 5.00 m power cable and is rated 220–240 V / 50/60 Hz. OASE describes a patented pull‑out cleaning mechanism (handle) and a patented UV cleaning rotor; the UVC housing is removable so the lamp can be replaced while the unit remains in operation. The filter supports two separate inputs for parallel operation (up to two pumps), has two flexible outlets and a 2‑way valve for draining waste water. Manufacturer technical details published on OASE pages include inlet, outlet and sludge discharge connections listed as 38 / 50 mm (1½" / 2"), a listed net weight of 10.4 kg and a maximum operating pressure of 0.2 bar. The product description gives physical dimensions as "380 mm × 750 mm" but does not label which measurement corresponds to diameter or height. The media arrangement is described as multiple filter foams (2 blue foams, 2 red foams, 1 purple foam) within a finely structured sponge arrangement. Note that OASE product pages show conflicting values for maximum flow rate and for pond capacity; these conflicts are explained in the limitations section. Where OASE provides a clear single value (for example electrical power, UVC wattage and cable length) those values are recorded in the structured fields below.
Best for
Pond owners who want a pressurised mechanical/biological filter with an integrated 60 W UVC clarifier for medium-to-large ornamental ponds, and who value built‑in cleaning features and parallel pump capability.
Things to consider
Manufacturer pages contain unresolved conflicts for maximum flow and general pond capacity: descriptive text on OASE pages quotes a 'high flow rate' of 12,000 l/h while the product specification table lists 17,000 l/h; likewise some OASE pages state 'cleans ponds up to 33,000 litres' while the GB specification table lists 'Suitable for ponds up to max. 31.0 m³' (31,000 litres). Because these are conflicting first‑party values for the same model, the structured maxFlowLph and maxPondVolumeLitres fields are left null here. The OASE product page does not state a maximum head (m), an IP/protection rating, or which of the two listed dimensions corresponds to diameter or height—those fields remain null or are noted as unlabeled.
Installation
Manufacturer data indicates a maximum operating pressure of 0.2 bar and rated supply 220–240 V / 50/60 Hz. The unit provides two inlet ports for parallel pump connection, two flexible outlets and a 2‑way valve for draining. The UVC housing is removable to allow lamp replacement while the unit is in place, per OASE documentation. Cable length is specified as 5.00 m.
Maintenance
OASE lists a patented pull‑out cleaning mechanism and a UV cleaning rotor to reduce maintenance effort; the UVC housing is removable to permit lamp changes during operation. The manufacturer lists a '2 + 1 Years' guarantee. OASE pages do not specify lamp replacement intervals or other scheduled maintenance intervals.
Safety
Rated supply 220–240 V / 50/60 Hz and a listed maximum operating pressure of 0.2 bar are provided by the manufacturer. The product includes a 60 W UVC lamp (manufacturer‑stated). OASE does not list an IP/protection rating on the product page.
