AFM® resists biofouling, bio coagulation and transient wormhole channelling of unfiltered water and never needs to be recharged or replaced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cmp-pdp__description-specs-text fluidra-base-regular\"\u003eAFM® 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 increase its surface area by up to 300 times for superior mechanical and electro-static filtration performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cmp-pdp__description-specs-text fluidra-base-regular\"\u003eThe activated surface of AFM® is self-sterilising which prevents bacteria mud-balling, coagulation, and channelling of unfiltered water through the filter bed. Activation increases the surface area by up to 300 times for catalysis and adsorption reactions. Similar to activated carbon, the surface nanostructure adsorbs pollutants from the water but unlike carbon, AFM® is recharged by just back-washing with water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cmp-pdp__description-specs-text fluidra-base-regular\"\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"fluidra-base-regular\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrystal clear water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower chlorine consumption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo chlorine smell and up to 50% less THMs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe risk of infections by bacteria and parasites such as Legionella, Pseudomonas and Cryptosporidium is reduced to an absolute minimum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame performance for many years.
