1. Flow through filters with biological and mechanical filtration clean and clear pond water which flows back down to the pond by gravity
  2. OASE BioTec Screenmatic² automatically separates debris using the self-cleaning screen, depositing coarse debris into the removable tray
  3. Intelligent cleaning sensor detects pollutant levels entering filter and automatically activates the screen
  4. High efficiency filter system features 3 different densities of foam harboring a variety of beneficial bacteria that remove harmful ammonia and nitrites
  5. Double-sealed screen motor and reinforced screen material ensures an extended service life
  6. Foam distribution and optimized water level in the container ensure longer filter service life, improved filtration and reduced maintenance
  7. Filter foams clean directly inside the filter in pond water to preserve beneficial bacteria colonies and reduce water waste
  8. Slide valve on sludge drain removes sludge and dirty water with minimal mess
  9. Add an optional Bitron C UVC clarifier to any ScreenMatic² filter system for enhanced clarity and cleaner water
  10. Included 2 year warranty + 1 with online registration.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
  1. Check the connections — some units have had instances where the connection on the bar to the motor is loose which causes it not to turn.
  2. Clean the sensor bar. The bar has two little probes that when they touch water tell the motor to turn. There can also be scale buildup on the sensor so maybe a soak in vinegar could be helpful.
  3. If the sensor is touching water but not activating it could be that the hardness is too low in the water for conductivity. This is like the ionizer — in some cases, adding salt to the pond will raise the conductivity.
  4. The unit will flash red if it cleans 20 times continuously — this usually can be addressed by the above AND moving the sensor bar down a bit so it is not in constant contact with the water. When the unit is installed move the sensor bar as far down and away from the incoming flow as possible. Leave it for a day and position it so it is just behind where the layer of debris has built up on the screen.
