OASE FiltoClear Complete Pond Filter Kits

Pressurised filtration, UVC clarity and a matched pump — in one box, sized to your pond.

If you've ever tried to piece together a pond filtration system component by component, you'll know how easy it is to under-size the pump, mismatch the UV output, or end up with hose fittings that don't line up. OASE FiltoClear complete pond kits remove that guesswork entirely. Each kit pairs a heavy-duty pressurised canister filter with an integrated UVC clarifier and a perfectly scaled OASE AquaMax Eco Classic solid-handling pump — plus hose, clamps and starter bacteria — so every component is engineered to work together from day one.

Whether you're running a small courtyard pond, a family-sized backyard pond, or a large koi pond, there's a FiltoClear kit scaled to suit. Below we break down exactly what's in each kit, which pond size it's built for, and how to choose the right one.

Why choose a complete kit over buying parts separately?

Correctly matched flow rate

The AquaMax Eco Classic pump in each kit is selected to suit the filter's flow requirements — no manual flow calculations needed.

Faster, easier installation

Hose, stainless steel clamps and fittings are all included and sized correctly, so there's no separate shopping trip for connectors.

Clear water guarantee

The integrated UVC clarifier is proven at the correct wattage for the filter's rated volume — eliminating green water and free-floating algae.

What's inside every FiltoClear complete kit

All three kits share the same core components, scaled to size:

  • OASE FiltoClear pressurised canister filter — mechanical and biological filtration with Easy-Clean Technology, so you can clean the sponges from outside the canister using an external handle, without opening the lid.
  • Integrated UVC clarifier — kills free-floating algae and pathogens before the water passes through the filter media. The UV lamp can be changed while the system is running.
  • OASE AquaMax Eco Classic pump — a high-efficiency, solid-handling submersible pump matched to the filter's flow rate.
  • Two-way backwash valve — turn a dial to divert dirty water straight to the garden bed during cleaning, instead of back into the pond.
  • OASE Bypass technology — maintains water pressure and flow, and helps prevent the filter clogging between cleans.
  • Heavy-duty ribbed pond hose and stainless steel clamps — sized to the kit, ready to connect.
  • Filter bacteria starter — beneficial bacteria powder to kick-start the biological filtration cycle from day one.

Because the whole canister buries into the ground up to the lid, it disappears into the landscape — no bulky above-ground filter box to work around.

Which OASE FiltoClear kit suits your pond?

Pond volume ratings drop significantly once fish are added, and drop again for koi ponds — koi are messy, heavy waste producers, so the same filter needs to work much harder per litre. Use the table below as your starting point, then size up if you're unsure.

Got a larger pond or a dedicated koi pond?

Koi ponds carry a much heavier bio-load than an ornamental pond of the same volume, and larger water bodies often need a multi-filter setup, additional UVC clarifiers, or a bigger bio-filtration stage than a single FiltoClear kit provides. Rather than guess, our team can help you size the right combination of filtration, pump flow and UV output for your exact pond volume and fish stock.

Please contact the DIYMegaStore team before purchasing — we'll help you get the sizing right the first time.

A quick sizing tip

Always size to your actual stocking plan, not just your pond's water volume. A 5,000-litre pond with no fish can run comfortably on the FiltoClear 5000 kit — but the moment you add koi to that same pond, you'll want to step up to the FiltoClear 13000. If you're unsure whether your pond will end up with fish down the track, it's almost always worth sizing up one tier now rather than re-plumbing later.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the pond, fish pond and koi pond ratings?

The "no fish" rating is the maximum water volume the filter can clean without any bio-load. Adding ordinary fish roughly halves the effective capacity, and koi — which produce significantly more waste — cut it to around a quarter of the no-fish rating.

Can the pump push water up to a waterfall or spillway?

Yes. Because these are pressurised systems, the AquaMax Eco Classic pump can drive filtered water up and out to an elevated watercourse, waterfall or spillway rather than just returning it at pond level.

How do I clean the filter?

All three kits use Easy-Clean Technology — pull the external handle to compress the filter sponges, then turn the two-way valve to drain the dirty water out (ideally to a garden bed) without opening the lid.

Do you ship these kits outside Victoria?

Yes, all three FiltoClear complete kits ship Australia-wide, including NSW and QLD. Call 1300 238 288 for a shipping quote to your postcode.

What if my pond is bigger than 31,000 litres, or it's a dedicated koi pond?

Get in touch with our team before ordering. Large ponds and koi ponds often need a multi-filter or upgraded bio-filtration setup rather than a single complete kit, and we can help you plan the right configuration.
