Dependable and easy to service, the Challenger
is Fluidart’s® best-selling filter. This efficient bead filter is
produced in five sizes to fit ponds up to 20,000 gallons.
Advantages include its tough fiberglass tank,
side-mounted multiport valve, and ease of installation
and maintenance. No need to disconnect plumbing to
access and service internal components.
The unique Hydra-Swirl design allows solids to be spun
to the center of the vessel where they stay until the
sludge drain is opened. Through the multiport valve, the
pump delivers a thorough backwash and rinse. With the
drain open and the pump running, solids are purged
under pressure, fully removing waste in a few seconds.
For backwash the Challenger series utilizes Hydra-
Thrust bead agitation, using forced air to agitate the
beads and free up trapped debris.
Other features:
- Pressurized filter
- Designed for minimal flow restriction.
- Two-inch plumbing throughout.
- 500-550 sqare feet of surface area per sqare foot of media.
- Can be used with or without a pre-filter.
