AFM® Activated Filter Media is a direct replacement for sand, doubling the performance of sand filters without the need for additional investments in infrastructure. AFM® resists biofouling, bio coagulation and transient wormhole channeling of unfiltered water and never needs to be recharged or replaced.
AFM® is a highly engineered product manufactured from a specific glass type, processed to obtain the optimum particle size and shape. It is then exposed to a 3-step activation process to increase its surface area by up to 300 times for superior mechanical and electro-static filtration performance.
AFM Glass Media Vessel is used to capture sediment, dirt, rust and other particles from water.
The Glass media will filter the water down to around 3 microns (same as most “throw away” cartridges).
The glass media is reusable and can be backwashed to remove the particles captured inside.
Features
Up to 50% less backwash water
AFM® ng only needs 40 to 50 m/h backwash velocity.
Filter maintenance
AFM® ng outlasts all other filter media and offers a guaranteed return on investment.
Reduced chlorine consumption
Chemical savings are approximately 20% to 30%.
Crystal clear water and the best air quality
AFM® ng reduces by up to 50% the formation of chloroform and other THMs.
WHY CHOOSE AFM® NG?
- Inconsistant and unreliable filtration
Filtration performance with AFM® ng is predictable, reliable, and remains stable over the years. There is no possibility of unfiltered water reaching the pool. - Pathogens
AFM® ng prevents the growth and the transmission of these pathogens. Pool water is therefore much safer. - Trichloramine – Chlorine smell
With AFM® ng, there is no biological conversion from urea to ammonia inside your filter: No biofilm, No trichloramine, No chlorine smell !
AFM® NG OFFERS THE FINEST FILTRATION
AFM® ng filters much finer than quartz or glass sand. The independent and best-known European laboratory for filtration tests IFTS (www.ifts-sls.com) has tested AFM® ng, quartz sand and various glass sands. The tests were conducted with fresh filter media without any biofilm.
- AFM® ng: Filters 95% of all particles down to 1 micron.
- AFM® : Filters 95% of all particles down to 4 microns.
- Sand: Filters 95% of all particles down to 20 microns.
- Glassand: Filters 95% of all particles >25 microns.
