AFM® exceeds top performance of sand,
quartz and other glass media by far
The Clear Alternative
The chemistry of the glass, the particle shape and especially the
activation process give AFM® these important properties to
clearly outperform sand and glass sand filters.
The large surface has a strong negative charge to adsorb
organics and small particles. The surface also has metal oxide
catalysts which produce free radicals and thus a high redox
potential. Therefore AFM® is self-disinfecting. AFM® prevents
bacteria from settling to make it a unique, bio-resistant filter
material.
What is the recommended layering of AFM®?
If you are currently using sand or glas sand simply replace this in
your filter with AFM®. While sand has a specific weight of 1,450
kg/m3, the specific weight of AFM® is 1,250 kg / m3, and
therefore it needs about 20 % less AFM® according to weight.
For example:
If your filter has 150 kg of sand, only 125 kg of AFM® is needed.
AFM® is supplied in 20 kg bags and is
available in four different grain sizes.
AFM® should be used as follows:
AFM® grain 0 = 0.25 to 0.5 mm grain size
AFM® grain 1 = 0.4 to 1.0 mm grain size
AFM® grain 2 = 1.0 to 2.0 mm grain size
AFM® grain 3 = 2.0 to 4.0 mm grain size
Your advantages at a glance
Crystal clear water – AFM® filters much finer
than sand, quartz or any other filter media
AFM® prevents biofilm – It attracts and captures
bacteria and algae to prevent biofilm.
Biofilm occurs when bacteria gathers in groups and
will form a shield to protect themselves from chlorine.
Over 90% of biofilm is inside your filter –
Biofilm dramatically reduces the effectiveness of your
filter resulting in poorer health in your pool water.
AFM® saves resources -
Reduced maintenance and chemical consumption
will save you time and money on chlorine and
energy.
Providing peace of mind for your
family and their health.
Grain 1
AFM® 1 will remove more than 95 % of all
Grain 2
particles in the water down to 4 microns.
Grain 3
The best a very high quality sand or other
glassand can achieve is 20 microns.
At an efficiency of 95 %. AFM® 0 is able to
efficiency of more than
remove particles down to 1 micron at an e
95 %. AFM® 0 has been developed for best filtration where
flocculation cannot be used.
Grain 2 can be used for filters less than 1000 mm in diameter in-
stead of grain 3. Also for all DIN filters with nozzle plate, grain 3
can be substituted with grain 2
