DGS®-DRYDEN GLASS SAND FOR ECO-FRIENDLY WATER FILTRATION
DGS® is an advanced filtration media made from 100% recycled glass in Dryden Aqua’s state-of-the-art facilities. Unlike AFM®, DGS® is produced from mixed glass and is not activated.
Despite this, DGS® delivers ultra-fine mechanical filtration while significantly minimizing bacterial clogging compared to traditional sand filters. Produced in full compliance with ISO standards, DGS® undergoes a unique washing process using 100% rainwater—ensuring the purest and safest non-activated glass media available today.
