Sterling - Model Defender -Regenerative Filters
The Defender regenerative media filters (RMF’s) are a more efficient alternative to sand or filters and provides exceptional water filtration capabilities, along with significant water and energy savings when compared to sand filtration.
RMF’s use up to 70% less water, take up a quarter of the space, and use less energy than traditional sand filters. Regenerative media filters are also more effective at removing contaminants.
The Defender® filter is able to remove particles as small as 1 micron from water while traditional sand filters generally only remove particles in the 20 micron range.
They have been developed to provide a safe, non-hazardous filter which uses perlite media for the clearest, cleanest and safest water. The automated system offers worry free operation and significant water savings compared with standard filtration.
Due to its innovative “bumping” process the Defender® RMF systems significantly eliminate the amount of backwash water going to the drain. Instead of backwashing, the Defender filter is programmed to automatically “bump” to regenerate the fine-grade perlite media for a fresh start.
It has rapidly replaced sand filters as the premier choice for water filtration in various recreational water applications.
Additionally, they do not require any major refurbishment like a standard filter and operate an automated system with no backwashing and their smaller footprint offers large space savings for new build or refurbishment schemes.
Regenerative media filters provide substantial savings in the everyday operational costs of an aquatics facility. To highlight potential savings, Neptune Benson can evaluate your current facility (or upcoming project) and demonstrate a cost saving analysis report, outlining the savings in water, energy, chemical consumption and required footprint when compared to a conventional sand filter.
