When deciding on filter media (sand or glass), you will want to consider the following: operating costs, safe water, clear water, healthy air and sustainability.
Unfortunately, current filter media don’t meet all the above desired characteristics and you would have to pick a filter media that would only meet one or two of these…..but not anymore!
BioGuard are the primary distributors of the next generation in Activated Filter Media (AFM® ng) – the most superior filtration media on the market, that achieves all of the above!
It might sound too good to be true, but here is the evidence to prove it:
Lowest operating costs
AFM® ng saves backwash water, reduces chlorine consumption, and reduces pool maintenance.
Safest water
AFM® ng is made from pure selected glass which is safe to touch, and won’t cut you. It is exposed to a patented 3-step activation process which makes the glass self-sterilising to prevent the transmission of bacteria. In fact, AFM® ng was developed by Marine Biologists who specialise in Aquarium and Water Treatment systems, and is certified to be as safe as swimming in drinking water! (NSF 50 & NSF 61)*
Healthiest air
AFM® ng prevents the formation of that harmful ‘chlorine smell’ (called trichloramines) so you can breathe easy.
Clearest water
With a certified 1-micron filtration rate (that is incredibly small!!), AFM® ng is certified to surpass the performance of any sand or other glass filter media in the world, to provide exceptional water clarity.
Most sustainable filtration
AFM® ng outlasts all other filter media – a guaranteed return on investment! It saves resources such as water, chemical usage, and energy, thanks to a more efficient and slower backwash.
So make the switch to AFM® ng today, which filters pool water 200% better than sand!
