Description :

It is also known as Activated Filter Media a direct replacement for sand filter media, it doubles the performance of sand filters without the need for additional investments in infrastructure. AFM Glass Media Vessel is used to capture sediment, dirt, rust and other particles from water.

What is it for?

• Substitute for Silica Filter Media
• To begin taking advantage of the benefits of Glass Filter Media:
• Remove old filter media
• Fill with Glass Filter Media
• Start normal operations

Water Savings!:

• Reduced Backwash time
• Approximately 50% savings
• Fewer Backwashes needed

Energy (and equipment) Savings:

• Less friction loss
• Increased filtered water volume
• Less Equipment Maintenance

Chemical Cost Savings:

• Flocculent products
• Disinfection products
• PH control products

Longer Life Span:

• Silica lasts 3 – 5 years, glass media will last 15 years
• A single grain type is used, filters can be emptied for maintenance and the same media can be reused.

Increased Quality and Hygiene:

• Reduces the presence of bacteria
• Does not build up a biofilm
• Reduced Chloramines & presence of disinfectants

Longer Life Span
