AFM

ACTIVATED FILTER MEDIA

Used in simple or dual media filtration, with gravity or pressure filters, for groundwater, surface water, seawater, and wastewater treatment. AFM® activated filter media replaces sand in all types of sand filters.

Born from Marine Necessity

Dr. Howard Dryden developed AFM upon noticing that captive dolphins suffered severe lung infections due to trichloramines generated by deficient filters.

Therefore, the goal was to create a filter media that eliminated bacterial proliferation, significantly reduced toxic chemicals, and guaranteed maximum quality.

The success of AFM in marine aquariums was such that today it is used in more than 90% of large aquariums worldwide.

Filtration Properties

Activated Filter Media products undergo a unique 3-step activation process to become resistant to bio-fouling and achieve superior filtration properties.

AFM STANDARD

The best filtration and removal of organic compounds

Filters 95% of all particles down to 1 μm.
Ideal for the removal of organic compounds.
Adsorbs oil and hydrocarbons, micro-plastics.
Efficient filtration in hard and soft water.

ESSENTIAL REFINEMENT FUNCTION

Powers the filtration function AFM integrates as the advanced filter media to replace traditional sand, removing particles up to 40 times smaller than conventional filters.

Zero Biofilm Filtration Due to its negative charge and activation process, AFM self-disinfects, preventing bacterial growth and biofilm formation within the Aquapro 6000.

Superior Durability This recycled glass material offers a lifespan up to 5 times longer than other media, ensuring consistent performance and lower long-term maintenance costs for your equipment.
