AFM-NG® ACTIVATED FILTER MEDIA FOR WATER TREATMENT
SVS Aqua is a trusted supplier and manufacturer of AFM-NG® (Activated Filter Media – Next Generation), an advanced alternative to sand and traditional filter media. Designed for superior water treatment and filtration, AFM-NG® efficiently removes microplastics, organics, and pathogens, ensuring safer, cleaner, and more sustainable water.
WHAT IS AFM-NG® ?
AFM-NG® is a next-generation activated filter media manufactured from recycled green and brown glass. Through a unique chemical and thermal activation process, its surface becomes hydrophobic, providing unmatched resistance to biofouling and bacterial growth.
Unlike sand, AFM-NG® filters much finer particles and removes up to 50% more organic substances, making it one of the most efficient filtration solutions on the market.
KEY FEATURES OF AFM-NG®
- Self-sterilizing surface – resistant to bacterial growth
- Increased surface area – for superior filtration performance
- Activated surface charge – captures fine particles & organic matter
- Crystal-clear water – stable 1 micron filtration rate
- Durable & sustainable – outlasts traditional filter media
UNIQUE BENEFITS

Prevents the transmission of pathogens (E.g. Crypto)
The Clearest Water
Offers a stable 1 micron filtration rate.
The Healthiest Air
Prevents the formation of DBPs and chlorine smells.
The Lowest Operating Costs
Saves backwash water and chemicals.
The Most Sustainable Filtration
Outlasts all other filter media
SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING PROCESS
1. MADE FROM RECYCLED GLASS
When mining sand, landscapes are destroyed and entire ecosystems disappear. Processing and transport are energy inefficient. AFM® is manufactured from recycled glass, a raw material that already exists and needs to be reused.
2. THE PUREST GLASS
AFM® is cleaned, washed and sterilized to become the purest glass filter media on the market with a maximum loose organic contamination of less than 10g/ton. Normal glass sand has up to 20,000g/ton.
3. CAREFULLY SELECTED
We only use green and brown glass in the manufacture of AFM® because white glass does not contain the metal oxides needed to make the media self-sterilizing. AFM® contains more than 98% green and brown glass.
4. OPTIMUM SIZE & SHAPE
The grading process of AFM® has been engineered to obtain a precise consistent particle size and shape. The sphericity and uniformity coefficient are crucial for the outstanding hydraulic properties of AFM®.
5. UNIQUE ACTIVATION PROCESS
The raw AFM® goes through a unique three-step chemical and thermal activation process. The Activation is the reason for its bio-resistance and superior filtration properties. The surface of AFM-NG® becomes hydrophobic.
6. MOST CERTIFIED FILTER MEDIA
AFM® is manufactured under ISO9001-2015 conditions and is certified under DWI EC Reg31, NSF50 & NSF61 for swimming pools and potable water use and HACCP certified for food and drinks markets.
