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 bi ofouling, biocoagulation 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. The activated surface of AFM® is self-sterilizing which prevents bacteria mud-balling, coagulation and channeling of unfiltered water through the filter bed. Activation increases the surface area by up to 300 times for catalysis and adsorption reactions. Similar to activated carbon, the surface nano-structure adsorbs pollutants from the water but unlike carbon, AFM® is recharged by just back-washing with water. Benefits at a glance More than doubles the performance of an existing filtration system without the need for additional investments Not subject to biodynamic instability and will never allow untreated water to pass the filter Substantially lowers chlorine oxidation demand by up to 50% Lowers backwash water demand by an average of 50% Expected to last for the life of the filtration system Provides quick return on investment Show more
