Thanks so much very useful information

Haha @

Very interesting! Always good to see the troubles that could be encountered. Thanks!

Sounds like a good filter to avoid! Thanks for the tip.

Hi adam, have the same drum filter for a customer! Ran like a dream for 4 yrs, doing my fortnight checks noticed the display unit was off, found the little fuse on the back of the panel, changed fuse, unit came on reset error code and pressed clean. immediately the fuse blow! I have noticed the drum can be stiff from time to time. Im thinking it could be the motor but not 100%. Bloody fish who'd have em!😅

Strangely I really enjoyed the video ha, they do seem to be easy to work on. Thanks for sharing 👍

Had the same on one off my oase drum I shut down the drum and left it the drum then became seized to the rubber seal simple fix but but of a brain buster at first 👍🏻 cracking filters

I enjoy these fault finding/fixing videos Adam. I've got a similar Oase drum filter (the one with the hel-x media) for my set-up too. I like it for the ease of use as mine is almost maintenance free but, like you said, if anything goes awry out of warranty it's eye-wateringly expensive to fix. I had to replace that big, heavy, metal cylinder in the bottom (aka the HP water pump) literally 2 months after the warranty expired on mine - Oase wanted £700+ for a new one!! I managed to get an ex display spare for £400 but it left a big dent in my pond budget that year. Touch wood, it's been ok ever since though. Good advice about greasing up the rubber seals and looking forward to your next episode. Cheers, 🙂

And this is why I won’t get a drum,I’ll stick to my nexus and eazypod-thanks for the interesting video

I took my magnet off the lid reversed it and cabletied it to the drum, thus enableling to watch everything without the lid on👍

Interesting tutorial.

Great video I have a similar oase drum so very interesting for me as you never know when something like this may come in handy 👍

Please, can you do a video on how to clean Oase proficlear premium filter. I took of the screen to clean it but couldn’t put it back. Any advice? Many thanks.

👍👍👌👌

That’s probably just a common stepper motor. Find the specs on the plate of the motor for voltage etc and swap it into the case the other is in. Guarantee you can find the exact same one on eBay or Ali

Hello Dear,

If I'd paid that much for a filter I'd expect the motor to work for at least 5 years.

No baby koi this year

lol @ "bloody fish". Glad you posted it Adam, really useful. Just out of interest, how much is a pump? Have a great weekend, kind regards.

Hi Adam I think I’m quite close to you and wondering if you know anyone who rents temporary vats as need to do some maintenance in summer? Cheers
