WHY SHOULD YOU USE AFM ?

AFM will remove smaller particles from the water. Under controlled conditions.
Using 16 x 30 grade sand at a flow rate of 10 cubm/hr/sqm sand removed approx 90% of
all particles down to 10 microns. AFM grade 1 under the same conditions reduced
particle size down to 5 microns.

In addition to removing solids by physical processes, AFM has a surface - vo charge
which allows it to remove very small particles and organic modules by surface
adsorption. AFM is excellent at removing + ve ions such as iron and manganese.

In addition to the surface -vo charge we have developed surface catalytic properties
for AFM. When AFM is used to filter water containing at least 1 mg/l of dissolved
oxygen the AFM will dissociate the oxygen molecule to generate two free radicalsof oxygen . The free radicals provide a degree of surface disinfection as well as cracking organic molecules on the surface of the AFM.

HOW TO USE AFM

AFM is very easy to use . It is a direct replacement for sand in all pressure or gravity
flow sand filters. Simply remove the sand and replace with AFM. In all application
sand water flowrates tested. AFM out - performed sand. However in both cases best performance is acheived using the slowest flowrates.

The filter should be layered with either pea gravel or grade 2 AFM as the bottom layer
the quantity of base material will depend on filter design, however it is normally 10%
to 20% of the total bed volume. Grade 1 AFM is placed on top of the grade 2. For very
performance grade 0 may be used on top of grade 1. If grade 0 is used approx 10% of
the total bed volume should be grade 0.

WHAT IS AFM ?
AFM is an advanced filtration media designed to replace filter grade sand in presurre
filters and gravity flow filters. AFM is far superior to a good quality filter sand.
Changing from sand to AFM will result in some major improvements to thebrperformance of your filtration system.
