Fluidart Filters

The CHALLENGER line of filters, the most definitive statement in filtration design, this filter is one dependable piece of equipment. With fiberglass construction and MULTI-PORT valve you have a very efficient bead filter with a 10 years warranty.  This filter is very easy to service, with a side mount multi-port valve you won't have to undo any plumbing to access the internals of the filter. 

The CHALLENGER series utilizes the HYDRA-THRUST bead agitation system.  Air is forced into the vessel to thoroughly agitate the beads and break free the entrapped debris. The pump then gives a thorough backwash and rinse via the multi-port valve. You will enjoy the longer intervals between backwashing with these large diameter filters.

A couple of the advancements have been made to the popular Challenger line of filters is the addition of the Hydraswirl technology and Sludge drains. With the Hydraswirl addition solids are spun to the center of the vessel where they wait for the operator to open the sludge drain. With this unique feature, solids are purged under pressure, while opening the Sludge drain with the pump running. This forces the heavier solids out of the filter to waste in a matter of a few seconds. A Multiport Valve is provided as standard equipment with features such as Backwash, Rinse, Recirculate, and more.

The Challenger Filter is available in 5 sizes to meet your pond requirements.
