AFM® Media FRP Vessel 13x54 – Manual Backwash Complete with Media

The AFM® Media FRP Vessel 13x54 – Manual Backwash system provides high-performance filtration, removing sediment, heavy metals, organic contaminants, and bacteria for cleaner, safer water. Designed for residential, commercial, and industrial water treatment, this system outperforms traditional sand filters by using AFM® (Activated Filter Media), a highly efficient, self-sterilising filtration media.

This manual backwash system allows for easy control of the cleaning cycle, ensuring consistent performance, long media lifespan, and minimal maintenance costs. Perfect for borehole, well water, municipal water treatment, and pre-filtration for reverse osmosis systems.

Key Features:

• AFM® Filtration Technology – Provides superior filtration compared to traditional sand, removing fine particles, heavy metals, and organic matter.
• Manual Backwash Control – Allows for easy maintenance and efficient cleaning of the media.
• Self-Sterilising Media – Prevents bacteria growth and biofilm formation, ensuring long-term efficiency.
• Removes Turbidity & Contaminants – Filters out sediment, iron, manganese, heavy metals, and organic compounds.
• Chemical-Free Filtration – Requires no additional chemicals for disinfection or media regeneration.
• Corrosion-Resistant FRP Vessel – Durable fibreglass-reinforced construction for long-lasting performance.
• Energy & Water Efficient – Uses less water for backwashing compared to sand filters.
