DescriptionAFM Activated Filter Media is a direct permanent replacement for sand, doubling the performance of sand filters without significant investments in infrastructure. AFM resists biofouling and biocoagulation which causes channeling of unfiltered water. AFM is a highly engineered product manufactured from a specific glass type, processed to obtain a particular particle size and shape.Additionally, the particles are treated with a 3-step activation process to become self-sterilizing. When used with APF Flocculant, you can further improve filtration. AFM comes in three grades 1, 2 & 3, and are layered in your filter for optimal performance.Unique AFM-ng® BenefitsFilters 95% of all particles down to 1 micron vs 20 for sandA self-sterilizing surface that resists bacterial growth & biocoagulationProvides exceptionally safe & clear waterPrevents the formation of harmful disinfection by-products ( THMs, NC13) resulting in lower DBP’s & better air qualitySignificantly lowers chlorine oxidation demand, and reduces chemical consumptionOutlasts all other filter mediaUses 15% less media by weight / Only needs 85% of AFM vs. sandAttracts and removes heavy metals, organic matters, and microplasticsOffers water and energy savings thanks to shorter and slower backwashes compared to sandNSF50 and 61 CertifiedThings to note:You need less AFM compared to sand for your filterAFM requires 15-18 gpm/sq.ft. filter area to backwash correctly, and ensure your pump can provide sufficient flow.PricingContact us for a price quote.
