OASEAquaMax Eco Classic 2700 Pond and Waterfall Pump

I bought this for my parents' pond, and they absolutely love it. We put in a pond at their house about 13 years ago, and based the size on aesthetics rather than research. So it wound up being just slightly too big for the pumps and filters that are readily available in our (suburban) area to handle well (especially given the leaves from the big oak trees in their yard, and the sandy soil that blows into the pond daily). Since there is a significant price increase to the next level of pump/filter, they tried several of the models that were readily available, but someone would have to clean all of the intakes several times a week, the pump would inevitably burn out after a season or two, and we were spending more time fighting algae and silt than enjoying the pond.I bought this pump knowing that, based on the specs, it would be overkill for their pond. So I was a bit worried about that. But I picked it from the list of pumps recommended with the filter that I also bought (OASE BioSmart 5000), figuring that it was more important that they were compatible. The combo has worked beautifully. This pump has not needed to be fussed over anywhere near as much as any of the previous models we tried. It is powerful enough that debris gravitates to the part of the pond where it sits so we try to clean that out every couple of weeks (usually when it's hot enough out that we are looking for an excuse to cool off). But that's been about it through the summer.The plastic guards keeping debris out of the pump itself work way better than any other model we've had - it's the first one in years where we haven't had to add some kind of pre-filter or filter bag.

I have had this for two seasons and it is the best pump I have owned. I paired it with the Oase Biopress 1600 UVC pressurized filter and it has been the best investment. I don't have to get down on the ground to pull out the pump to clean the housing (it is a solid partical handling pump) every few weeks. In fact once the pond was balanced in the spring I would simply use a brush that came with my net kit (adjustable handle) to scrub the top off. I didn't pull it out until November. The Biopress is above ground. My pond has never been clearer or cleaner. I have several Koi and lots of pond plants so keeping it clean is key. It has made my pond easier to care for and maintain. What more can you ask.

This is a very reputable company so I had no doubt about the performance…great product and great price

Bought this pump for my new Oase Filter system. Works great.

Replaced this model with prior Oasis 3000 which lasted a little over three years. Justbarely over my warranty period I purchased. I have the Oasis 10,000 filter box with attached clarifier. It was very expensive and apparently I didn't need that large of pump for a 2500 gallon pond for just a waterfall. Went with this size of pump and it works just fine but I did purchase a four year extended warranty. Wish the pump would last longer but I do use mine continuously even through the winter.

Use it for over 1 year now without any problem pump work strong and great

I use the pump in my backyard pond, it feeds the waterfall. I use it with the UV to keep my pond clean and algae free.

Perfect for running a gravity filter system. Pretty quiet too. Ive been running it continuously for about 2 months and no issues. Not a long time I know but I see no signs of trouble...12/29/2021 Update, this pump is still humming along no issues!

A little pricey but so far it has performed flawlessly. But a good flow rate requires at least an inch and quarter hose. I used inch and a half and am very pleased with the flow rate. Whisper quiet as well.

Strong and quiet excellente

power full pump very quiet, like it a lotUpdate, 21 months now and still working strong. Updated March 10, 2019 and still working strong. Bought in 2017 and sill going strong. Nov 2021

Very good flow rate which makes our waterfall feature very impressive
