- Absence of Iron Related Bacteria and Sulphate Reducing Bacteria
Vortech™ vs Standard Media Tank with gravel underbed:
The patented and patent-pending ENPRESS Vortech® and Mid-Vortech® distribution technologies are revolutionizing the water treatment industry. The design creates fluidity of the media bed and extends contaminant removal capacity; which means fewer regenerations and a significant reduction of water use…saving water, salt and the environment, with backwash flow rate reductions of at least 30%. So it’s easy to go green and make a lot of green at the same time.
Why Vortech™?
Vortech™ distribution systems utilize a more efficient distributor plate design to reduce backwash and improve system efficiency compared to traditional cone & gravel systems. This unique design provides greater "lift" and "action" throughout the entire width of the mineral tank during a backwash cycle, whereas traditional cone and gravel systems channel up through the media causing areas of very limited movement. In addition, because Vortech™ does not utilize gravel, it costs less to ship due to its lighter weight.
Traditional Systems
- Cones (basket) have a limited surface area reducing flow capacity
- Gravel adds additional shipping costs
- The riser tube and the basket are held only in place by the media making routine maintenance difficult when the valve is removed from the mineral tank
- Backwash water creates channels through the gravel concentrating flow-through limited areas of the media
- Water channelling creates dead spots around the edge of the mineral tank reducing the effectiveness of the backwash cycle
- Areas within the media bed are not suitably rinsed and lose the capacity to remove the contaminants with every cycle
- Higher flow rates are required to effectively lift media
Vortech System
- High flow design maximizes today’s high-efficiency control valve technology
- Environmentally friendly, reduces backwash requirements by up to 30%
- No channelling of media, providing a cleaner more efficient system
- Self-cleaning nozzles
- Elimination of gravel - less unit weight, for handling.
- Permanent attachment of the dip tube makes servicing the control valve easy by keeping the distributor in place, no more re-bedding
- The distributor plate is designed for over 6,500 lbs. load capacity
- Highly efficient softening regeneration reduces annual salt consumption
