I have a 600 gallon (2200 litre) pond.
I am going to buy a Oase filtoclear filter and an Oase aquamax pump.
I think I need the filtoclear 6000 filter even though it is a bit of overkill the 3000 is too small.
Their website says it is for 3000 litre tank with fish and has a minimum flow of 2500 and a maximum flow of 4500.
And I thought an aquamax 3500 pump to go with it.
It has a flowrate of 3,500.

Is that ok?
I am really looking for confirmation that I don't need to go up to the Aquamax 5500 which would be over kill for my pond and create turbulence and a loud outflow of water over the rocks.
There is a smaller Oase filtoclear 3000 but I think it is too small and will require frequent cleaning.

Sorry I can't help have never used a store bought filter in any of my ponds, just pea gravel and plants. (wetlands, bog filter)
