OASE BioTec Screenmatic²: The Ultimate Low-Maintenance Pond Filter System

When it comes to advanced pond filtration, the OASE BioTec Screenmatic² stands as one of the most innovative and efficient solutions available for serious pond owners. This cutting-edge flow-through filter system combines intelligent automation with superior filtration performance, making it the ideal choice for ponds up to 140,000 litres.

What Makes the OASE BioTec Screenmatic² Special?

The OASE BioTec Screenmatic² represents a significant evolution in pond filtration technology. Unlike traditional filters that require frequent manual cleaning, this advanced system features automatic debris separation that dramatically reduces maintenance requirements while delivering exceptional water quality.

Key Features and Benefits

Intelligent Automatic Cleaning System The standout feature of the BioTec Screenmatic² is its self-cleaning screen mechanism. The system automatically detects debris buildup and empties the screen into a removable collection tray, ensuring continuous optimal performance without constant intervention.

Double-Sealed Motor Technology Enhanced durability comes from the double-sealed motor design, which significantly extends the filter's service life compared to conventional pond filters. This robust construction ensures reliable operation even in demanding pond environments.

Superior Debris Removal The system effectively captures particles larger than 300 microns before they can clog the biological filter media. This pre-filtration process protects the biological chambers and maintains optimal water flow throughout the system.

Flow-Through Design As a gravity-fed flow-through filter, the Screenmatic² processes pond water efficiently, with clean water returning to the pond naturally by gravity. This design reduces energy consumption while maintaining excellent filtration performance.

Model Range and Capacity

The OASE BioTec Screenmatic² is available in multiple sizes to accommodate different pond volumes:

• 40000 Model: Handles ponds up to 40,000 litres
• 60000 Model: Designed for large ponds up to 60,000 litres
• 90000 Model: Manages ponds up to 90,000 litres
• 145000 Model: Manages ponds up to 145,000 litres

Each model features adjustable flow rates and intelligent cleaning cycles that can be customized based on fish stocking levels and pond conditions.

How the OASE BioTec Screenmatic² Works

Stage 1: Pre-Filtration Pond water enters through the flow spreader, where the innovative screen mechanism immediately captures larger debris, fish waste, and organic matter. The intelligent sensor monitors debris accumulation and triggers automatic cleaning cycles as needed.

Stage 2: Biological Filtration After mechanical pre-filtration, water passes through advanced filter foams of varying densities. These biological media provide extensive surface area for beneficial bacteria colonies that break down harmful ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates.

Stage 3: Return Flow Clean, processed water returns to the pond via gravity flow, ensuring continuous circulation and optimal water quality throughout the entire pond system.

Installation and Maintenance

Easy Installation The Screenmatic² features conveniently located inlet and return connections (DN110) positioned on one side for simplified installation and plumbing. This design makes integration with existing pond systems straightforward for both professional installers and experienced pond owners.

Minimal Maintenance Requirements Regular maintenance involves simply emptying the debris collection tray when full - typically every few weeks depending on pond conditions. The self-cleaning screen and automatic operation mean no daily intervention is required.

Filter Media Replacement The optimized filter foam design ensures long service intervals, with biological media typically requiring replacement only once or twice per year depending on fish loading and environmental conditions.

Performance in Different Pond Types

Koi Ponds The Screenmatic²'s robust debris removal capabilities make it particularly well-suited for koi ponds, where fish produce significant waste loads. The automatic cleaning prevents clogging and maintains optimal water quality essential for koi health.

Ornamental Fish Ponds For goldfish and other ornamental species, the system provides excellent biological filtration while removing organic debris that can cloud water and create unhealthy conditions.

Water Gardens Even in planted water gardens, the Screenmatic² effectively manages organic matter from both fish waste and decomposing plant material, maintaining crystal-clear water quality.

System Integration and Compatibility

The OASE BioTec Screenmatic² integrates seamlessly with other OASE components:

Pump Compatibility Works efficiently with OASE AquaMax and other submersible pond pumps designed to handle solids. Proper pump selection ensures optimal flow rates and system performance.
