AFMng (Activated Filter Media – Next Generation)

Backyard Brands

Filters - Sand

AFM®ng is a smarter way to upshift traditional sand filtration. Designed as a direct replacement for sand, AFM®ng can be easily installed in all standard sand filters with no modifications required. Made from upcycled green and brown glass, this next-generation activated filter media delivers superior performance, sustainability, and long-term value.

Through a proprietary activation process, AFM®ng becomes self-oxidizing and capable of filtering down to one micron—capturing significantly finer particles than traditional sand. Its uniquely angular, micro-porous structure resists channeling, maintains consistent flow rates, and delivers visibly clearer water with faster recovery after heavy use. 

AFM®ng’s efficiency translates directly into operational savings. Reduced backwashing lowers water and chemical consumption, while cleaner-running filters mean less maintenance and fewer service callbacks. Unlike sand, which typically requires replacement every 3–5 years, AFM®ng is engineered to last the lifetime of the filter and is backed by a lifetime guarantee.

For service professionals, AFM®ng offers reliability, performance, and easier maintenance. For retailers, it’s a premium, science-backed upgrade that increases attach rates, differentiates from mass-market solutions, and reinforces long-term customer trust. 

AFM®ng is a sustainable, high-performance filtration standard built for professionals who expect more.
