Atlantic® OASE PumpShield - 15in L × 15in W

Extend Pump Life and Cut Maintenance with Industrial Mesh Protection

The Atlantic® OASE PumpShield is a submersible pump protection bag engineered to dramatically reduce maintenance frequency and prolong the operational life of pond and water feature pumps. Its industrial-grade mesh material with a secure drawstring closure forms a barrier that prevents leaves, silt, and debris from entering and clogging your pump — while remaining completely safe for fish, aquatic plants, and pond ecosystems. At 15 inches long by 15 inches wide, it accommodates a wide range of submersible pump sizes used in water gardens, ponds, and recirculating systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• Industrial-grade mesh material — tight weave blocks debris, silt, and organic matter from reaching the pump impeller without restricting water flow.
• Drawstring closure — secures the pump inside the bag and keeps the opening closed even in turbulent or high-flow environments.
• Fish and plant safe — materials are non-toxic and pond-safe, posing no risk to aquatic life or sensitive root systems.
• Reduces pump maintenance — less clogging means fewer cleanings, longer intervals between servicing, and lower long-term operating costs.
• Extends equipment life — protecting the pump from debris prevents impeller wear and motor strain, adding years to pump service life.
• Generous 15in × 15in size — fits a broad range of submersible pumps used in ponds, water features, and recirculating hydroponic systems.

Who Should Use This

Pond keepers, water garden enthusiasts, and hydroponic growers with submersible pumps operating in environments with organic debris, fine particulate, or sediment that can cause frequent clogging and premature pump failure.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Atlantic OASE submersible pumps. The 15in × 15in size accommodates most mid-to-large submersible pond and water feature pumps. Confirm pump dimensions against bag interior before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to clean the PumpShield bag itself?

Clean frequency depends on debris load in your water. In heavily planted ponds, monthly rinsing is typical; in cleaner systems, quarterly cleaning may suffice.

Will the mesh restrict water flow to my pump?

The industrial mesh is designed to block debris while maintaining adequate water flow to the pump intake. Flow restriction is minimal under normal operating conditions.

Is this bag safe to use in a koi or fish pond?

Yes — materials are fish and plant safe, so it can be submerged in a stocked pond without concern for aquatic life.

Can I use this with non-Atlantic pumps?

The PumpShield is designed for Atlantic OASE pumps but will physically fit any submersible pump that fits within the 15in × 15in dimensions.
