About This Product
The BioSmart is a flow-through filter that is both innovative and efficient. It undertakes biological and mechanical filtration and offers maximum oxygenation. With a sludge drain that allows for easy removal of coarse debris, the BioSmart is built for work - there is no need to remove or manually unclog the filter foams. Distinct filter zones promote the settlement of beneficial bacteria responsible for different phases of the nitrogen cycle, increasing the conversion of harmful ammonia in the pond. The BioSmart is eco-friendly technology with positive results for local wildlife and fish stock. With a built-in cleaning indicator and water temperature display, the unit requires minimal maintenance. The BioSmart UVC 1600 with included UV Filtration is for ponds up to 1,600 gallons; the BioSmart 5000/10000 for up to 10,000 gallons. For maximum effect it can be combined with the Vitronic 18 - 36 Watt UV Clarifiers. When used in conjunction with the BioSmart filter, the AquaMax Eco Classic 1200-2700 or AquaMax Eco Premium 2000-3000 and the Vitronic UV Clarifier qualify for the OASE Water Guarantee.

Questions & Answers
Can I use with a pump rated at 4200 GPH.
Hello RLD1, thank you for your question. The BioSmart 10,000 can only handle 3,600 GPH going through it. You will not want to use a pump any bigger than that 3,600 GPH. Thanks, Your OASE Water Gardening Specialist Kyla
Inlet outlet sizes ?
Hello Frdd, The inlet has a step adapter for 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2". The outlet is a metric 2 1/2" with a 3" outlet adapter included which you will need to use to convert it to our standard measurements.

Yes, We have one setup on a 4000 gallon Koi pond. It works great and fairly easy to clean.
I purchased the OASE BioSmart 10K gal filter box on May 8, when I received it I was very happy with my purchase. But now that I am getting ready to install it. I realize that there are no fittings included. Is this correct.

I see you can add the Oase aerator to this filter. Do the air stones just sit inside the filter box? I did see an attachment that looks like an aerator goes on it. But I noticed the Oase aerator has 2 airstones. So I’m guessing I can use a t valve to turn it into one.
no
Great question! This items does come with two airstones, but the airstones can be removed to attach the OASE AquaOxy 450 aerator, which is the most compatible size, if you would like to add one. Use the tubing included to attach the aerator to the openings that are directly under the lid. The addition of an aerator will help establish beneficial bacteria and promote dissolved oxygen levels in the water feature, so while an aerator is not required for use, it is recommended. We hope this helps.
aerator should be in you're pond there are two discharge connections on the filter box if elevation is good they can drop into waterfall adding air
