AFM

AFM® Activated Filter Media is a direct replacement for sand, doubling the performance of sand filters without the need of additional investments in infrastructure. AFM® resists biofouling, biocoagulation and transient wormhole channeling of unfiltered water and outlasts all other filter media.

✓ 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 become self-sterilising and to acquire superior adsorption properties. During activation, the structure and the chemistry of the glass are modified.
AFM® benefits at a glance
More than doubles the performance of an existing filtration system

✓Is not subject to biodynamic instability and will never allow untreated water to pass
✓Substantially lowers chlorine oxidation demand
✓Lowers backwash water demand by an average of 50%
✓Is expected to last for the life of the filtration system
✓Provides quick return on investment

Self-sterilizing surface
Unique 100% bio-restistant filter media

When in contact with water flowing through the filter, a small amount of free radicals (O and OH) are formed on the surface of the grains. Thanks to their strong oxidation potential, free radicals protect AFM® from colonisation by bacteria and fully prevent the formation of biofilm.

Always Meet Your
Aquatic Needs

Our mechanical filter units are manufactured with a focus on durability, ensuring a long-lasting solution for your aquatic environments. The lightweight and strong design makes installation and integration into existing projects or facilities easy and seamless.
