Oase Biotec Screenmatic Gravity Filters

The Oase range of Biotec Screenmatic filters are the most technologically advanced gravity filters on the market. Their unique sponge system is designed to hold the maximum amount of waste before needing cleaning. They feature a Screenmatic system, which is a unique electronically operated screen that automatically cycles and extracts the largest particles and debris, significantly increasing the time it takes for the sponges to become blocked. This drastically cuts down on maintanence and increases the capacity of the filter for very little energy, making it suitable for much larger ponds than normal gravity filters. Because of their high waste handling capacity, there is no better filter system we know of for messy Koi fish and large ponds up to 140,000L.

  • Suitable for very large ponds. No other brand has gravity filters big enough for ponds this large
  • Unique sponge and screenmatic system significantly increases the efficiency and reduces required maintanence (cleaning) of your filter
  • Physically large filters with many individual sponges produce a very high capacity suited to large ponds or koi ponds
  • An Oase Bitron Ultra Violet Clarifier can be matched with and then integrated onto a suitably sized Biotec filter if required, to help eliminate suspended microscopic algae (green water)
  • Easy to clean, saving time
  • Advanced design creates perfect environment for nitrifying bacteria to live, reducing ammonia and other toxic substances in your pond
  • High quality German engineering, uv stabilised plastic leads to a long service life
  • The filter sponges are replaceable although they last many years. All spare parts are available
  • Flushing valve to remove waste from the bottom of the filter
  • Larger filters can be partially recessed in the ground to make a lower profile

Aussie's Observations about  Biotec Screenmatic Gravity Filters

Budget • Good • Better • Best • Superior

Any pond filtration, especially Koi, turtles and large ponds. Ideal for ponds up to 140,000 litres in size.

The Screenmatic system is completely unique and market leading. The most efficient filter available and in a class of it's own. Nothing else is capable of handling such large capacities or concentrations of fish.

Large physical size can sometimes be hard to integrate into your landscape, however smaller filters are much, much less effective for larger ponds or koi ponds.

**Special note, if using a waterfall or a long hose between pump and filter the pump will need to be larger to allow for the reduced flow caused by the head (pumping height, and/or hose length)   If in doubt Fill in one of our e-mail help forms and let us do all the calculations for you. About Biotec filters
The patented silt disposal system allows quick and easy cleaning of the filter and ensures if used correctly the continued development of micro-organisms.

These filters are generally pump fed filters and multi chamber filters, which do not only mechanically filter out dirt from the pond water but also encourage the colonisation of special micro-organisms for the biological filtration process.
