High-Performance Filtration for Koi Ponds: Evolution Aqua Nexus and Oase ProfiClear Systems Compared

 

A healthy koi pond is not just a source of visual joy—it’s a delicate ecosystem that demands premium filtration. Whether you're maintaining a hobbyist setup or a professional koi pond, having the right filter system is critical to water clarity, fish health, and overall pond balance.

At Beacon Koi Ltd, we provide cutting-edge filtration solutions from trusted brands like Evolution Aqua and Oase. In this blog, we’ll explore four top-tier options for koi keepers: the Evolution Aqua Nexus 220+, Evolution Aqua Nexus Filter, Proficlear Premium Compact-L Gravity EGC, and ProfiClear Premium Compact-M Gravity EGC.

Let’s dive into what makes each of these systems unique—and which might be best suited for your pond’s size, setup, and stocking levels.

Evolution Aqua Nexus 220+: Advanced Filtration for Mid to Large Ponds

The Evolution Aqua Nexus 220+ is a flagship model designed for koi ponds up to 18,000 liters (depending on stocking density). It combines mechanical and biological filtration in one compact unit and is highly efficient for both gravity-fed and pump-fed systems.

Top Features:

Uses K+ media for superior biological filtration

Easy-cleaning central chamber system

Simple installation with versatile plumbing options

Supports high fish loads with reliable ammonia/nitrite removal

The Nexus 220+ is ideal for koi keepers seeking clarity, efficiency, and low-maintenance operation. It’s one of the most trusted names in UK koi pond filtration—and for good reason.

Evolution Aqua Nexus Filter: Trusted by Koi Professionals

Beyond the 220+, the Evolution Aqua Nexus Filter line (including the 320+ model) offers scalable solutions for larger ponds and more demanding environments. These filters deliver unmatched biological performance thanks to K+ media, which promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Why Choose the Nexus Filter Series?

Excellent bio-filtration with large surface area media

Unique central cleaning mechanism for easy waste removal

Compatible with drum filters or UV clarifiers

Used by professionals and enthusiasts alike across the UK

Whether you're just starting with koi or upgrading an existing setup, the Nexus range offers the reliability and water quality needed to maintain a thriving aquatic environment.

Moving into high-end automation and smart technology, the Proficlear Premium Compact-L Gravity EGC from Oase represents the next evolution in pond filtration. This filter is equipped with Easy Garden Control (EGC) technology, allowing users to monitor and adjust settings directly from a smartphone or tablet.
