## Description

Original Dryden Aqua AFM next generation activated filter glass grade 1 (grain size 0.4 - 0.8 mm)What is AFM ng (Next Generation)AFM filter glass is a modern filter medium for replacing filter sand in pressure and gravity sand filters. Compared even with high-quality filter sand, AFM has much better application properties. Changing from sand to AFM results in a significant performance increase in your filtration system. AFM is made from recycled glass by Dryden Aqua, and is also a valuable contribution to environmental sustainability. Only AFM complies with the European standard UNE-EN 12904. AFM is produced by Dryden Aqua, a ISO 9000:2008 certified manufacturer.AFM stands for activated filter material and replaces the sand or glass sand of your filter. It improves filter performance by at least 30% compared to quartz or glass sand and thus reduces the need for disinfectants. The new AFM ng has a hydrophobic surface and improves its filtration sharpness from 4 micron to 1 micronAFM Grade 1 is a complete replacement for sand in all pressure or gravity sand filters. In all applications that Dryden Aqua has tested over a period of 5 years, AFM has proved to be the superior filter agent compared to high-quality sand. Under controlled conditions of a flow rate of 10 m³/h, sand removes around 90% of all particles up to a size of 10 and Under the same conditions, AFM Grade 1 leads to a reduction in particle size to 1 u! This proves that AFM removes significantly smaller particles from the water. For the removal of solids through physical processes, AFM also has a negative surface charge, which allows the removal of small particles and organic components through surface absorption. AFM is ideal for removal
