Excellent performance of AFM® in comparison with quartz sand and other glass filter media
AFM® comes with important certifications such as NSF 50 (swimming pools) and 61 (drinking water), HACCP, UK DWI and others. AFM® has been indepently tested by IFTS Institut de la Filtration et des Techniques Séparatives in France in 2014 and its superior performance over quartz sand and othe glass filter media was confirmed and and is documented in the the 2014 IFTS Report available below. AFM® more than doubles the performance of a quartz sand filter and it performes multiple times better than all other glass filter media tested.
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-sterilizing and to acquire superior adsorption properties.
