Oase AquaMax Satellite Filter
Maximize Pond Circulation and Eliminate Stagnant Dead Zones
The Oase AquaMax Satellite Filter is a professional-grade auxiliary suction intake designed to significantly improve the filtration efficiency of your pond. In many pond configurations, a single pump intake is insufficient to pull debris from the far corners of the basin, leading to "dead zones" where sludge and organic waste accumulate. By connecting the Satellite Filter to the secondary intake of an AquaMax Eco Premium pump, you create a second suction point, allowing you to draw water from two different areas of the pond simultaneously.
This rugged, submersible intake housing acts as a pre-filter, preventing large debris from entering the pump while ensuring that the water is pulled from the deepest or most stagnant areas of your water feature. The result is a cleaner pond floor, improved oxygenation, and a more effective biological filtration cycle.
Key Features:
-
Dual-Point Suction: Allows your pump to draw water from two separate locations, drastically reducing the accumulation of muck in dead spots.
-
Large Surface Pre-Filtration: The expansive cage design captures large organic debris (up to 1/4"), protecting your pump and reducing the maintenance frequency of your primary filter.
-
Seamless Compatibility: Specifically engineered to work with the Oase AquaMax Eco Premium line of pumps featuring a secondary suction port.
-
Tool-Free Installation: Features a simple, secure connection system that allows for quick setup and easy removal for seasonal cleaning.
-
Adjustable Flow Control: When used with an AquaMax Eco Premium pump, the flow can be mechanically balanced between the primary pump cage and the satellite filter.
-
Low Profile Design: The discreet, dark housing is designed to sit on the pond floor and blend into the shadows of your rockwork.

Why Choose the Oase AquaMax Satellite Filter? Pond health is entirely dependent on circulation. Even the most powerful pumps can leave "pockets" of dirty water if they only pull from one spot. The Oase Satellite Filter is an essential upgrade for L-shaped ponds, ponds with deep shelves, or long streams where debris tends to settle far from the main pump. It provides a "vacuum effect" across a larger area of the pond floor, ensuring that your filtration system is actually processing the dirtiest water in the system.
Installation Tip: Position the Satellite Filter in the area of the pond furthest from your main pump or waterfall return to ensure total water turnover. When connecting the tubing, use high-quality kink-free hose and secure the connections with stainless steel hose clamps to ensure a watertight seal and maintain maximum suction power.
