BioSmart 36000 Pond Filter

The classic Oase Biotec 10.1 returns as the highly upgraded, large-scale Oase BioSmart 36000 Pond Filter. Designed to handle high water volumes, this robust flow-through filter effectively removes heavy pond debris and breaks down toxic chemicals, keeping your aquatic ecosystem thriving. Its clever internal design supports a massive water flow-through rate (up to 8,000 lph) while maximising vital oxygen enrichment. For the ultimate clear-water setup, the BioSmart 36000 pairs seamlessly with Oase Vitronic (such as the Vitronic 36w) or Bitron C Ultra Violet Clarifiers.

Advanced Filtration & Monitoring with the BioSmart

• Massive Biological Surface Area: Featuring an impressive bank of nine filter foams (four blue, four red, and one green), this unit provides an exceptional surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonise. This amount ensures highly effective nitrification and denitrification, breaking down harmful ammonia and nitrites.
• At-a-Glance Diagnostics: Taking the guesswork out of pond care, a built-in pollutant level indicator lets you know exactly when maintenance is required, while the integrated thermometer helps you track water temperatures during seasonal shifts.

Effortless Placement & Maintenance

• Hassle-Free Cleaning: Routine maintenance is incredibly convenient. Simply pump the external cleaning handles to compress the sponges, then pull the integrated slide valve on the sludge drain to flush the waste away, all without getting your hands dirty.
• Landscape-Friendly: Despite its large capacity, the unit's robust design allows it to be buried up to one-third of its height, making it much easier to conceal this flow-through filter behind garden foliage or rockwork.

Is this filter compatible with all pond pumps, or are there specific pump requirements?

As long as the pump you select accepts 25, 32 or 38mm flexible hose and is less than the maximum flow rate of 8000 lph then it would be compatible.
