Oase BioPress 1600 Pressure Filter – 9 Watt UVC (40348)
The Oase BioPress 1600 Pressure Filter is designed for easy maintenance and effective pond filtration. BioPress pond filters are a less expensive alternative to the Oase FiltoClear, but still provide excellent filtration.
The Oase BioPress 1600 Pressure Filter is a compact all-in-one pond filtration system with the fastest and most convenient cleaning mechanism on the market. The built-in cleaning mechanism makes filter maintenance possible in a matter of minutes.
The Oase BioPress 1600 Pressure Filter includes an integrated 9 Watt UV Clarifier for optimal efficiency at low power usage.
The Oase BioPress 1600 Pressure Filter can be installed unobtrusively by burying most of the body below ground.
Filtration
Algae and dirt are clumped together by the integrated UV Clarifier. The treated water then flows through the filter unit’s fine mechanical and coarse biological filter elements which support the filtration process and clarify the water. The water then flows back into the pond, either via a waterfall or a water feature.
Cleaning
Cleaning the Oase BioPress 1600 Pressure Filter couldn’t be easier. No need to remove the filter lid and deal with the mess.
For best results, pair the Oase BioPress 1600 Pressure Filter with the Oase AquaMax Eco Classic 1900 or Oase AquaMax Eco Premium 2000 Filter Pump.
