The best filtration media
Result of 35 years of Research & Development, AFM® ng (Activated Filter Media) is a direct replacement for sand that can be installed in all types of sand filters without modifications.
Manufactured from green and brown glass, AFM® ng is exposed to a unique activation process to become self-sterilizing and acquire superior mechanical & electro-static filtration performance.

AFM®ng offers the finest filtrationAFM® ng filters much finer than quartz or glass sand. The independent and best-known European laboratory for filtration tests IFTS (www.ifts-sls.com) has tested AFM® ng, quartz sand and various glass sands. The tests were conducted with fresh filter media without any biofilm.

AFM® ng Grade 2 (2nd Base Layer) - 21 Kg
Elevate your water filtration system with AFM® ng Grade 2. As the second base layer, this innovative filter media complements the top working layer to enhance overall filtration performance. Crafted with a distinctive hydrophobic surface, AFM® ng Grade 2 provides superior adsorption of organics and microplastics, ensuring exceptionally clean water.
Outstanding Features:
- Hydrophobic Surface: Designed for advanced adsorption, capturing fine particles and organic matter effectively.
- Self-Sterilizing Properties: Resists bacterial growth, providing superior filtration performance.
- Activated Surface: Enhances the removal of impurities, ensuring cleaner, safer water.
Key Benefits:
- Safe Water: Prevents pathogen transmission, including Crypto, safeguarding your health.
- Crystal Clear Water: Achieves a stable 1-micron filtration rate without the need for flocculation.
- Cost-Efficient: Reduces operating costs by saving up to 50% on backwash water and chemicals.
- Sustainable Choice: Promotes resource savings, including water, chlorine, and energy, with slower backwash requirements.
- Durability: Guarantees a longer lifespan than any other filter media, ensuring a substantial return on investment.
Technical Specifications:
- Particle Size: 0.4 - 0.8 mm
- Effective Size: 0.414 mm (d10)
- Hardness: Greater than 7 Mohs
- Sphericity: 0.78 average
- Uniformity Coefficient: Less than 1.5
- Specific Gravity: 2.4 kg/l
- Bulk Bed Density: 1.26 kg/l
- Service Flow: 20m/h
- Backwash: 30m/h
AFM® ng Grade 1 is crafted from up-cycled post-consumer glass, processed in state-of-the-art facilities to create an inert, amorphous aluminosilicate (glass) filter media. This innovative product is adaptable to all types of sand filters, eliminating the need for additional infrastructure investments. Choose AFM® for the finest, most sustainable water filtration solution available today.
