OASE ProfiClear Premium XL Standing Bed Module
Advanced Biological Treatment for Professional-Grade Water Features
The OASE ProfiClear Premium XL Standing Bed Module is an essential biological filtration component within the modular ProfiClear XL system. While the Moving Bed module focuses on rapid waste digestion through turbulent media, the Standing Bed module provides a stable, high-surface-area environment where beneficial bacterial colonies can mature and provide deep biological cleaning for large koi ponds and water gardens.
This module is specifically engineered to handle high flow rates while maintaining the contact time necessary for effective nitrification, ensuring that harmful ammonia and nitrites are converted into safer nitrates.
Key Features:
-
Massive Surface Area: Designed to hold professional-grade filter media such as Hel-X 13 or Clear-Flow (sold separately), providing an expansive home for beneficial bacteria.
-
Optimized Water Flow: The internal design ensures that water is evenly distributed throughout the media bed, eliminating "dead zones" and maximizing the biological processing capacity.
-
Seamless Integration: Part of the modular OASE ProfiClear XL series; it connects perfectly with the XL Drum Filter and XL Discharge modules to form a complete, high-capacity filtration circuit.
-
Pre-Installed Aeration: Features integrated aerator bars that connect to an external air pump. This ensures the standing bed remains highly oxygenated, which is vital for the survival and efficiency of aerobic bacteria.
-
Durable XL Construction: Built from high-quality, impact-resistant GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) to withstand the environmental demands of large-scale pond installations.
-
Easy Maintenance: Includes a large-diameter sludge drain for easy flushing of accumulated fine solids without disrupting the biological bed.

The Role of the Standing Bed Module In a professional filtration setup, the Standing Bed Module often follows the Drum Filter and/or Moving Bed Module. It acts as a secondary biological polisher, housing different strains of beneficial bacteria that prefer a more stable environment. This multi-stage biological approach mimics natural water purification processes found in high-quality river systems.
Installation Tip: To maximize performance, pair this module with an OASE AquaOxy 450 air pump. The constant supply of oxygen will significantly boost the metabolic rate of the bacteria, leading to faster clearing of green water and more stable water chemistry.
