Product description
Atlantic-Oase BioPress UVC Pressure Filters offer a high-performance, compact solution for mechanical, biological, and ultraviolet filtration. Designed for versatility, these in-line filters can be located remotely and even buried up to the lid for seamless landscape integration. Available in three sizes supporting ponds up to 2,400 gallons, the BioPress system features a patented integrated cleaning handle, allowing you to maintain filter foams without removing the cover, ensuring your water remains healthy and clear with minimal effort.
Advanced Three-Stage Filtration Technology
The BioPress system is engineered to tackle all aspects of water clarity. Two types of specialized filter foams trap physical debris, while the 1600 and 2400 models utilize moving bed bio-media to provide an expanded surface area for beneficial bacteria. The integrated UVC clarifier works continuously to eliminate suspended algae (green water) and harmful pathogens, qualifying the system for the Oase Clear Water Guarantee when paired with the correct pump.
Simplified Maintenance & Monitoring
Maintenance no longer requires getting your hands dirty. The BioPress features a unique cleaning handle—simply pull it up and down to squeeze the filter foams and backflush the system. A built-in status monitor allows you to check UVC lamp performance and pollutant levels at a glance without opening the canister. When it is time for a deep clean, the quick-release clamps provide instant, tool-free access to the internal components.
Discreet and Durable Design
Built to withstand pressurized operation, these filters can power waterfalls located up to 7 feet higher than the filter itself. The rugged canister is designed for below-grade installation; simply bury the unit up to the clamps and use an optional Oase FiltoCap (sold separately) to disguise the lid as a decorative rock. This allows for professional-grade filtration that stays completely hidden from view.

Install the filter slightly below the waterline and rotate the quick-release clamps upward to simplify future access while maintaining a discreet look. For the best results with waterfalls, ensure the total vertical lift from the filter to the spillway does not exceed 7 feet.
