New for 2026, OASE Germany have released the FiltoClear 60000 and FiltoClear 90000 pressurised pond filters to bring professional-level filtration to large ponds and water features such as koi ponds, ornamental gardens, and even natural swimming ponds.
Based on the well-established OASE FiltoClear pressurised pond filter, these 2 new models are sized up for much larger bodies of water. Whereas previously, an OASE pressurised pond filter could service a pond up to a maximum volume around 30,000 litres, the introduction of these new models means that pressurised filtration becomes an option for ponds as large as 90,000 litres, whereas previously only flow-through type box filters were a viable option for ponds of this size.
The FiltoClear 60000 and 90000 were introduced to meet growing demand for larger pressurised pond filtration systems that remain simple to install and maintain. By scaling up flow rates, filter capacity, and UV performance, OASE has extended the practical benefits of pressurised filtration—such as flexible placement, discreet installation, and straightforward cleaning—to ponds that would previously have required much larger, more visually intrusive filter boxes.
What’s New in These Models?
Both units are fully pressurised filters designed to process larger volumes of water while giving you flexibility in installation and with simple, low-maintenance operation.
More Powerful Filtration & UV Clarification
- Built-in higher-output UV clarifiers destroy algae and clear green water fast.
- Four-stage filter media combine mechanical foam filtration with biological filtration for thorough cleaning and improved water quality.
Higher Flow & Flexible Installation
- The FiltoClear 60000 handles up to 20,000 litres per hour, while the 90000 model manages up to 23,000 litres per hour — perfect for large water features, waterfalls, or streams.
- The pressurised design means you can place the filter above or below water level, bury it up to the lid, or pump water uphill.
Easy Cleaning Every Time
- Oase’s patented Easy-Clean backflush system lets you clean the filter sponges without opening the unit or getting your hands dirty — just pull the handle to compress the stacks of filter foams and flush debris out via the dedicated waste outlet. This allows routine cleaning to be carried out quickly on site, without removing filter media or interrupting the overall setup.
Quick Comparison
Feature | FiltoClear 31000 (Previous Largest Model) | FiltoClear 60000 NEW MODEL | FiltoClear 90000 NEW MODEL |
|---|---|---|---|
Max Pond Size (No Fish) | ~31,000 L | ~60,000 L | ~90,000 L |
Max Pond Size (With Fish) | ~15,500 L | ~30,000 L | ~45,000 L |
Max Koi Pond Size | ~7,500 L | ~15,000 L | ~22,500 L |
Max Flow Rate | ~12,000 L/h | ~20,000 L/h | ~23,000 L/h |
UV Clarifier Power | 60 W | 84 W | 120 W |
Both new filters feature 2 x 2” inlets and 2 x 2” outlets, a design unique to the FiltoClear 60000 and 90000. This allows for multiple suction points to be connected, improving overall water circulation and reducing dead spots in larger ponds. The dual outlets also provide greater flexibility when returning water, making it easier to feed waterfalls, streams, or multiple return points without additional manifolds or splitters.
Both models can handle pressures of up to 1.5 bar (15 m head) and are engineered for long-lasting, reliable performance in demanding pond environments.
Designed for Real Pond Life
Whether you’re dealing with heavy fish stocking, seasonal algae blooms, or want a maintenance routine that doesn’t take all weekend, FiltoClear’s engineering shines:
- Keep your pond water crystal clear without complicated setups.
- Clean without interruption — no shutdowns needed.
- Hide the filter from sight — bury it up to the lid for an invisible, natural look.
What Are These Filters optimised for?
Large ornamental and wildlife ponds.
Koi ponds or Goldfish ponds with heavy fish stock.
Natural swim ponds and garden water features with falls and streams.
If you’re upgrading from a smaller pressurised filter or tackling a larger body of water for the first time, these are solid choices that combine German engineering with practical convenience.
Final Thoughts
Investing in an OASE FiltoClear 60000 or the FiltoClear 90000 means spending less time battling murky water and more time enjoying your pond.
Furthermore, these innovative filters are now available as packaged kits including pumps, in the form of the FiltoClear 60000 Set and FiltoClear 90000 Set.
Their powerful UV clarification, high flow capacity, and easy maintenance make them a top pick for large pond keepers in 2026.
