A new product for 2009 from Oase. The manufacturer claims it will enable its range of filters to up 25% more effective in processing the pond water, aiding it to digest organic compounds and so reducing the growth of algae in the pond.

The OxyTex CWS provides a unique combination of pond aeration, circulation and settlement surface.

Like all animals, fish absorb oxygen from their environment for respiration.
When oxygen concentrations become low, anoxic (oxygen starvation)
conditions may develop which can decrease the pond's ability to supportOase OxyTex aerator working with the Oase Filtomatic pond filter
life. Depending on how low the dissolved oxygen concentration is and
how long it remains low, fish may eat less, convert food less
efficiently and grow more slowly, be more susceptible to infectious
diseases, or even suffocate and die. Dissolved oxygen (DO) is a major
contributor to water quality. Not only do fish and other aquatic
animals need oxygen, but so do aerobic bacteria that decompose organic
matter (silt). By infusion of air into the bottom of the pond, rising
air bubbles and water movement will raise bottom water to the surface,
thus releasing toxic gases to the atmosphere. Natural bacteria are
stimulated by aeration and they will feed on organic waste and
nutrients that would otherwise support algae blooms. Using aeration and
bacteria is a safe and sound form of pollution control. An Oxytex
Aerator not only provides essential oxygen into the pond but its large
settlement surface support vital friendly bacteria to combat blanket
weed and algae bloom. The exceptional circulation capacity of an OxyTex
adds considerable support to the pond filter system, improving
performance by up to 25%. Its decorative, plant effect, design will
make it a practical and attractive addition to your pond.

The pumps are currently only available from this site with the Biosmart range of filter sets for which they have been ideally matched. The swivel outlet for the Aquamax Eco Start

 the Blagdon Minipond 2000  was described as an ideal pump for very small ponds, to run fountains, waterfalls filters and water
features - cheap and functional. It has an advanced pre-filter cage which prevents it from
clogging. It comes complete with a separate 1" control valve, 3 hose
tails (1",3/4"and 1/2"), valved fountain T-piece with four fountain
heads and an optional foam pre-filter.

The smaller ones were recommended as

Hydratech Torrent Pumps were the latest revolution in solid waste movement pumps. Ideal for running waterfalls and filter. Unfortuately the larger versions that came out subsequently to the initial release were very prone to a short lifespan! Therefore we are only considering the 8000 lph down models for the moment.

High flow rate, high pressure pump ideal for running a waterfall or
filter, complete with 5 fountain heads, 3 interchangeable hose
fittings, and advanced low-velocity pre-filter.

Blagdon Amphibious Pond Pumps have always been relied on for their top performance and this range was  the standard Amphibious pump that had been around since the mid-eighties only in a cage. Originally based on the design of a central heating pump, some of the early models are still in operation 24hrs a day.
