Our Solutions

At Dryden Aqua, we offer a wide range of solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our innovative approach combines scientific understanding with practical application, resulting in products that are both effective and environmentally friendly.

Swimming Pools

For swimming pools, we provide a healthy and sustainable filtration solution with AFM. This activated filter media doubles the performance of sand filters without the need for additional infrastructure investments. AFM resists biofouling, biocoagulation, and transient wormhole channeling of unfiltered water, ensuring stable filtration performance and outlasting all other filter media.

AFM offers exceptional water clarity, filtering particles down to 1 micron without flocculation, and prevents the formation of harmful disinfection by-products. It also significantly lowers chlorine oxidation demand, attracts and removes heavy metals, organic matters, and microplastics, and provides substantial water and energy savings due to shorter and slower backwashes.

Water Treatment

In water treatment, our solutions are designed to enhance the performance of existing systems. AFM is a direct replacement for sand, offering superior adsorption properties and increased surface area. It prevents bacterial growth, biocoagulation, and channeling in the filter bed, ensuring stable filtration performance and outlasting all other filter media.

AFM is certified for pools, potable water use (NSF/ANSI 50, NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 by WQA), and food & drinks markets (HACCP). It prevents the formation of harmful disinfection by-products and significantly lowers chlorine oxidation demand, making it an ideal solution for applications where water quality is paramount.

Aquaria & Aquaculture

In aquaria and aquaculture, our solutions are designed to provide safe, biosecure water for delicate life forms. AFM prevents bacterial growth, biocoagulation, and channeling in the filter bed, ensuring exceptional water clarity and stable filtration performance. It is certified for use in aquaria, potable water, and food & drinks markets, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications.

AFM also offers substantial water and energy savings due to shorter and slower backwashes. It attracts and removes heavy metals, organic matters, and microplastics, providing a clean and healthy environment for aquatic life.

Dryden Pool Academy

At Dryden Pool Academy, we offer high-level training sessions on multiple swimming pool topics in English, German, and French. Our courses are designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to maintain healthy and sustainable swimming pool environments.

AFM Webinars

Our AFM webinars are a valuable resource for those looking to increase their knowledge in media filtration using AFM in water treatment. They provide a detailed understanding of how AFM is produced and its unique benefits.

Distributors and Partnerships

We have a global network of distributors and partners, ensuring that our solutions are accessible to clients worldwide. Our partners share our commitment to sustainability and innovation, making them ideal allies in our mission to improve water treatment processes.
