APF is a multi-spectrum coagulant and flocculent that can remove pollutants from solution and flocculate fine suspended solids, such as skin cells and bacteria, into large particles that are easily removed by AFM® (Activated Filter Media).
No single flocculent or coagulant can remove everything from the water. APF is a precise combination of 10 different electrolytes and polyelectrolytes to cover the widest possible range. Dissolved constituents of water make up 80% of the oxidation demand and suspended solids around 20%. Everything that is filtered out does not need to be oxidized. When the correct flocculation is used in combination with AFM, chlorine consumption and the production of unwanted chlorine by-products are reduced by up to 80%.
