 Bead Filtration Redefined Challenger Filters - Pushing the Envelope. Pan Intercorp is proud to present the Challenger line of filters, the most definitive statement in filtration design. With an extensive array of valve features, backwash options, outstanding craftsmanship and performance, the Challenger line of filters can satisfy even the most jaded koi veteran - and will blow away the pond and koi keeping enthusiast. With increased bead capacities and patented operating and backwashing design, the Challenger filter brings a whole new meaning to pond filtration. How the Challenger Filter works... Conventional upflow bead filters are functionally sub-optimal in a number of important respects. Conventional bead filters rely on gravity to facilitate the backwashing of media. They also work on a minimal flow basis due to pressure regulations of the housing and lack of media to support high flow levels. The Challenger line of filters offers answers to these short-falls of conventional bead filters. Constructed of rigid, heavy duty fiberglass the challenger line of filters are designed to handle flows up to 10,000 gallons per hour while retaining the aerobic functions of the media contained in the unit. The media provided in the Challenger creates a pack in the top of the filter. Water from the pond is pushed through the unit in an up-flow manner. The bead pack traps solids and particulates before allowing water to pass back to the pond. By utilizing a smaller bead than conventional bead filters, Challenger filters provide a larger surface area for increased biological filtration. This smaller bead also gives more of a "polished" effect to the water. Challenger Filters are completely pressurized systems that can be backwashed hydraulically using water from your pond. Cleaning the Challenger is an effortless task thanks to the use of a multiport valve. Simply turn the valve to backwash and your filter is hydraulically cleaned with water from your pond. To assist with backwashing such large quantities of media, an air blower is provided as part of the standard equipment on every Challenger. It's purpose is to agitate the media and break apart the bead pack that forms in the upper portion of the filter. The Challenger Filter provides unmatched performance and ease of operation for even the most discerning pond keepers.
