AFM Activated Filter Media

AFM is an inert, amorphous aluminosilicate (glass) manufactured by up-cycling post-consumer green and brown glass bottles.

AFM Activated Filter Media is verified to at least double the performance of sand filters without the need for additional investments in infrastructure. AFM is used for swimming pools, aquaria and aquaculture as well as water treatment applications — for treatment of various sources of water such as ground water, surface water, seawater and waste water.

Two different types of AFM are produced in our factories: AFM s (standard) and AFM ng (next generation).

Both products are exposed to a unique 3-step activation process to become self-sterilising and to acquire superior filtration properties. During the activation, the structure and the chemistry of the glass is modified.

AFM Activated Filter Media

  • Does not support bacterial growth, eliminates clumping, channeling and passage of unfiltered water.
  • Reduces backwash water up to 50% providing a quick ROI, usually within 2 years.
  • Improves and provides predictable, repeatable and consistent nominal filtration performance up to 98% and a life cycle >10 years
  • High surface area with superior mechanical filtration properties for adsorption of fine particles.
  • Precise, consistent particle size distribution, shape, sphericity and uniformity coefficient for outstanding hydraulic properties.
  • High activated surface area amplifies catalytic reaction, generating free radicals to avoid biofouling on media surface.
