FAQs

What is the maximum pond size for the Filtral UVC 6000?

The Filtral UVC 6000 is suitable for ponds up to 6000 litres (approximately 1585 US gallons) without fish, or up to 3000 litres (approximately 792 US gallons) if fish are present.

How often should the UVC bulb be replaced?

For optimal effectiveness in controlling algae, the 11W UVC bulb should be replaced once every year.

Can this unit be used outside of water?

No, the Oase Filtral UVC 6000 is designed exclusively for submersible use within the pond.

What is the purpose of the included nozzles?

The unit comes with a fountain set and 3 interchangeable nozzles to create different decorative water patterns. It also includes an aeration kit for improved oxygen levels.

How do I clean the filter media?

The filter foams should be rinsed regularly in a bucket of removed pond water to maintain beneficial bacteria. Avoid using tap water, as it can harm these bacteria.

Does this filter provide biological filtration?

Yes, the system includes media that provides a surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize, contributing to biological filtration and water quality.

What is the power consumption of the pump and UVC?

The pump has a flow rate of 2500 LPH, and the integrated UVC clarifier uses 11W of power.

Troubleshooting

Unit not pumping water

Check if the pump intake is blocked. Ensure the unit is fully submerged and the power supply is active. Verify the impeller is clean and rotating freely.

Water remains cloudy or green

Ensure the UVC bulb is functioning and replaced annually. Clean the filter foams. Reduce fish stocking density if applicable. Allow time for biological filtration to establish.

Fountain effect is weak

Clean the fountain nozzle and check for any obstructions. Ensure the pump is running at full capacity. Verify filter foams are not excessively clogged.

Unit makes unusual noise

Inspect the impeller for damage or debris. Ensure the unit is stable on the pond floor and not vibrating against surfaces.
