Low-Voltage Filtration Pump for Remote and Regulated Pond Sites
The Oase AquaMax Eco Expert 5300 is a brushless 12-volt DC pond pump that delivers 5,100 GPH (19,306 LPH) of circulation while meeting electrical codes that prohibit line voltage near water. Its low-voltage design makes it the go-to choice for remote pond locations where running mains power is impractical or for jurisdictions with strict safety regulations around submersed electrical equipment.
Key Performance Features
The brushless DC motor provides high torque with minimal energy draw, and the integrated frost-protection system safeguards the pump down to −20 °C (−4 °F). A built-in thermal cutoff prevents overheating, and the variable-speed capability allows you to dial back flow during lower-demand seasons to save electricity further.

Installation
Connect the pump to the included 12 V transformer and submerge in your pond or pump chamber. Route the low-voltage cable to the transformer location and plug in. Pair with a FiltoClear or Biotec filter for a complete filtration circuit. The low-voltage cable can be buried without conduit in most jurisdictions.
Ideal for large landscape ponds, koi systems in regulated areas, and remote water features where 120 V power is unavailable or prohibited.
