When was the last time you had a media change?
A recent filter replacement shows why you need to replace your media a number of times over the filters lifespan. Media lifespan depends on type.
Biofilm is a slimy layer formed by bacteria creating a physical barrier causing poor filtration and bad water quality. Channeling also occurs creating a path for unfiltered water to pass straight through the filter.
We have been using AFM ng (Activated Filter Media Next Generation) for some time and see the benefits first hand. It is a self-sterilizing, hydrophobic filter media made from pure recycled green and brown glass and prevents bio-fouling or bacterial growth.
Using sand as an example, if managed well, it should last 3 - 5 years at optimal filtration. AFM will last 10+ years.
