Oase Optimax - Filter pump
|
|
 With the Optimax, Oase extends the existing Profiline range with unique,
economical, gravitation filter pumps. The Optimax pumps have been developed to
optimally meet the requirements placed on filtration pumps in these systems -
particularly for use in Koi ponds and swimming ponds.
-
New hydraulic concept for high efficiency. Optimax pumps work at an
extraordinary high level of energy efficiency, due to flow-optimised impellers
and electronically controlled motors.
-
Graduated flow capacity - 10,000 to 18,000 litres can be circulated per
hour depending on the model.
-
Integrated, intelligent dry-run protection "GSR"
(Gravity-Self-Regulator)
-
Fully capable of over wintering, even if the pond completely freezes over.
-
Removable mounting base and pedestal.
-
Included adapter set for hose and pipe connection

Aussie's observations
|
|
Suitable for: Gravity filters |
|
What we liked:
Everything. The features and attention to detail is superb. The cost to run is
staggeringly low, this pump will pay for it's self in not time when compared to
pumps of similar performance. 5 year warranty on everything including* the
impeller. *No other company offers such an impeller warranty to our
knowledge |
|
Less than ideal:
While fantastic for gravity filters at ground level, the lack of flow at higher
heads will make it unsuitable for some filters |
|
Not suitable for:
waterfalls or streams due to the low head |

on running a pump 24/7 continuously for one year. The formula we use is $1.20
per watt per year. (Some states will be slightly less, while some will be up to
30% higher)
