Neptune-Benson Filters

Defender® Regenerative Media Filters

The Defender® filter is an earth friendly solution for pristine pool water and it continues to have a marked impact on the global water footprint. This industry leading filter will give you maximum performance, longevity and user friendliness - an outcome that is good for the planet and our resources.

Here are the fabulous five benefits enjoyed by existing Defender® customers:

  1. Water & Waste Savings: The Defender® filter virtually eliminates the tremendous amount of the backwash water associated with sand filter operation. Instead of reverse flushing, as with a sand filter, Defender® simply discharges the spent media directly to waste and is recharged from time to time.
  2. Energy & Chemicals Savings: The dramatic reduction of backwash waste directly translates to savings in make-up water along with the chemicals and fuel for re-heating. Consider the cost of chemically treating 2.2 million gallons (8328 m3) and the BTUs required to heat this volume from 50 degrees (10°C) to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27°C).
  3. Construction Savings: More savings are derived from the smaller construction footprint for Defender® filter. This results in as little as one-fourth to one-sixth of the space required by an equivalently sized sand system, saving installation and rigging time.
  4. Power Savings: Defender® reduces head loss (vs. compared to sand) to which saves motor horsepower operational cost. Starting differential pressures for a high-rate sand filter, depending on the media, could range from 4 to 6 psi (27.6 kpa to 41.4 kpa). In contrast, the starting differential of the Defender® is approximately 1 psi (6.9 kpa). Converting this to head represents savings of nearly 12 feet (3.65m) total dynamic head, or TDH, which translates to horsepower and energy savings. In most cases, the pump motor required for Defender® filter recirculation is smaller than a sand filter. Utilizing a 25hp motor instead of a 30hp unit would result in electricity savings of $3,000 per year.
  5. Water Quality: The Defender® filter will remove particles down to 1 micron. With the growing concerns about waterborne illnesses (WBI) such as cryptosporidiosis, the smaller the particle removal the better. The Defender® filter is especially effective on pools with heavy bather loads because of the increased filter area and dirt holding capacity.

HIGH EFFICIENCY FILTRATION SYSTEMS FOR SPARKLING CLEAR WATER

By removing impurities such as dirt, leaves, grass, hair, body oils, sunscreen, and even many bacteria from the water, our high efficiency filters keep your pool water clean, clear and inviting. Choose from three different filter technologies - cartridge, D.E. or sand.

Eco Select® Brand Choices Water flows very efficiently through Clean & Clear Plus and System:3® Mod Media filters allowing the use of smaller pumps or lower pump speeds to minimize energy use. And when consumers rinse cartridges rather than backwash, they can significantly reduce water use, too

Sand

SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE, LOW MAINTENANCE FILTERS
Sand filters are one of the most popular ways to filter water. For good reason. They are simple, effective, and require very little attention. Pool water is routed through a sand-filled pressure vessel. Over time, dirt accumulates in the spaces between the sand particles causing the pressure in the vessel to rise as water finds it harder to pass through. This signals you to backwash the filter. Simply reverse the water flow and knock out the dirt.

D.E.

FILTERS THAT MAKE WATER REALLY SPARKLE
Diatomaceous earth, or D.E. for short, is a natural substance that traps dirt and debris as small as five microns (1/10 the width of a human hair). That means body oils, suntan lotions, pollens, dust and even some bacteria are caught in a D.E. filter, leaving behind sparkling clear, healthier water. We've maximized the filtration area, which means longer periods between cleanings. And we've designed our D.E. filters to require the least amount of pumping power to achieve a needed flow rate, lowering your utility costs.

Eco Select® Brand Choices
Water flows very efficiently through Quad D.E.® and System:3® Mod D.E. filters allowing the use of smaller pumps or lower pump speeds to minimize energy use. And when consumers rinse cartridges rather than backwash, they can significantly reduce water use, too.
