Product Information
Full details
The Oase PE 750 preformed pond is ideal for garden enthusiasts of all skill levels looking to introduce a durable, low-maintenance aquatic feature to their outdoor space. Its key benefit is the pre-moulded, high-density construction that removes the complexity of liner installation while providing dedicated zones for various aquatic plants and wildlife. A notable caveat is that its fixed shape and 750-litre capacity require careful pre-planning of the excavation site, as the structure cannot be resized or modified once purchased.

FAQs
Does this pond require a concrete base?
No, a base of compacted sand is sufficient for this preformed unit.
Can I keep fish in the 750-litre pond?
Yes, it is suitable for small numbers of fish, provided you maintain proper oxygenation and filtration levels.
Is the material safe for pond life?
Yes, Oase uses high-quality, non-toxic materials specifically designed for aquatic environments.
How do I handle the pond in winter?
Ensure a hole is maintained in any ice to allow gas exchange, especially if you have fish living in the pond.
Can I change the location of the pond once installed?
While it can be moved, the excavation and backfilling process make it a semi-permanent garden feature.
What is the primary advantage over a liner?
The preformed shape eliminates the risk of folding, creasing, or tearing associated with flexible rubber or PVC liners.
Troubleshooting
Pond appears uneven or wobbles
Ensure the base was leveled with sand during installation and that the surrounding soil was packed evenly while the pond was being filled with water.
Green water or algae buildup
Increase the number of oxygenating plants and consider installing a small filtration system or UV clarifier if the sunlight exposure is high.
Water level dropping
Check the upper edges of the shell for any structural leaks, though sudden drops are more frequently caused by evaporation or local vegetation consuming water.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly easier to install than pond liners
- Highly resistant to punctures and root damage
- Pre-designed planting zones simplify aquatic gardening
- Stable structure retains its shape indefinitely
- Provides an instant, reliable wildlife habitat
Cons
- Fixed shape limits design flexibility
- Requires precise excavation to fit the pre-moulded profile
- Cannot be expanded or altered in size later
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, outline the pond shape on the ground and excavate approximately 10-15cm wider and deeper than the shell. Fill the base with a thin layer of sand to ensure the pond sits level. As you backfill the voids around the edges with soil, fill the pond with water simultaneously to ensure the pressure remains balanced and the structure settles correctly.
Maintenance involves clearing debris with a fine-mesh net and periodically checking the water chemistry if fish are present. In winter, ensure the pond does not freeze completely solid by using a de-icer or leaving a floating object to maintain a gas exchange point for wildlife.
