The Future of Water Treatment: Enpress ONE® & Pioneer® Filtration Systems
Modular filtration meets smart water monitoring
And maintenance gets easier than ever.
Water treatment is moving toward treatment platforms that are easier to size, service, and upgrade. Two systems at the front of these innovations are the Enpress ONE® Filter System and the Enpress Pioneer® Filtration System. ONE® System delivers a universal, high-capacity point-of-entry (POE) vessel that accepts many water filter cartridge types from sediment filtration to Arsenic removal. At the same time, Pioneer adds usage-based monitoring and change-filter alerts for health-critical reduction needs such as PFAS.
What Makes the Enpress ONE® Different?
Traditional whole-house setups stack multiple small housings—sediment, carbon, iron—each adding cost, pressure drop, and maintenance time. The ONE® simplifies that with a single large-diameter vessel and drop-in, high-capacity cartridges tuned to specific problems such as chlorine/chloramine, iron and manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic, and more. As conditions change, you swap the cartridge—not the plumbing.
Cartridge Options for the Enpress ONE®
- Sediment (1–50 μm): Pleated polypropylene or melt-blown depth filters to knock down sand, silt, and turbidity; ideal as a first line of defense.
- Carbon Block & Catalytic Carbon: Treat chlorine and chloramines; polish taste/odor; reduce many DBPs and VOCs.
- Iron, Manganese & Sulfur Media: Specialty blends to curb rusty stains, black deposits, and “rotten-egg” odors.
- Heavy Metal/Arsenic Adsorptive Media: Advanced media designed for arsenic and lead reduction—important for many private wells.
- Specialty Targets: Nitrate reduction, fluoride reduction, and advanced taste/odor polishing for municipal water.
Use the ONE® Filter System as a standalone POE filter or as a pre-treatment before softeners, UV, or reverse osmosis.
Tool-Free, 10-Minute Cartridge Change-Outs
- Isolate & depressurize: Close the inlet, open a nearby faucet to relieve pressure.
- Release the head: Quick-release design—no strap wrench wrestling.
- Lift & drop: Remove the self-contained cartridge; insert the new one (built-in seals—no adapters or guesswork).
- Reassemble & flush: Restore pressure and run water briefly to clear air and fines.
The large-format cartridges last longer, so you replace them less often—and when you do, it’s clean and fast.

Manual Backwashing: Extend Filter Life & Flow
Unlike small cartridges that clog and are disposable, select media-style ONE® cartridges allow a manual backwash. Reversing flow through the vessel flushes trapped sediment, iron, and fines to drain, restoring flow and capacity.
When to Backwash
- After sediment spikes (well service, seasonal changes, construction).
- When you notice a pressure drop or flow loss.
- Preventively—many owners schedule a quick backwash every 1–3 months.
How to Backwash (Typical Steps)
- Set the bypass or service valves to the backwash position to reverse flow.
- Run to drain for a few minutes until the water clears.
- Return valves to service, flush cold water taps briefly.
This hybrid capability bridges cartridge convenience with tank-filter serviceability—one reason the ONE® fits a wide range of POE roles.
Meet Enpress Pioneer®: Certified Reduction with Smart Alerts
 |
| Enpress E3-M Pioneer Monitored Filtration System |
Where the ONE® Filter System excels at flexibility, the Pioneer® System focuses on health-critical reduction with usage tracking. Pioneer uses an oversized whole-house cartridge and a digital monitoring head that tracks total water used and alerts you when it’s time to change the filter. No guesswork, no waiting for taste or pressure to degrade.
- Designed for lead, cyst, and PFAS reduction and select emerging contaminants (e.g., PFAS) depending on the specific cartridge model.
- High-flow/whole-house footprint: One cartridge protects the entire home.
- Usage-based alerts: Change at certified capacity rather than on a rough calendar estimate.
- Simple service: Drop-in change and reset the monitor.
Note: Always select the specific Pioneer cartridge that matches your local water concerns and certifications, and verify performance claims against the model’s official certification documentation.
ONE® vs. Pioneer®—Which Fits Your Home?
| Feature | Enpress ONE® | Enpress Pioneer® |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Focus | Modular, customizable POE filtration (many cartridge types) | Certified reduction with smart usage monitoring & change alerts |
| Targets | Sediment, chlorine/chloramine, iron/manganese, sulfur, arsenic, nitrate, fluoride, taste/odor | Lead & cyst reduction; select emerging contaminants depending on cartridge |
| Backwashing | Manual backwash supported with certain media cartridges | Cartridge change only; no backwash |
| Maintenance Style | Quick, tool-free cartridge swaps; optional periodic backwash | Usage-based change reminders via the monitoring head |
| Best Fit | Homes with changing water issues or pre-treatment needs | Homes prioritizing certified reduction with automated reminders |
Where Each System Shines
- ONE® Filter: Private wells with sediment, iron/manganese, sulfur, or arsenic; municipal water polishing (chlorine/chloramine); pre-treatment before softeners, UV, or RO.
- Pioneer® Filter: Older neighborhoods with potential lead risks; regions facing PFAS concerns; homeowners who want digital, usage-based maintenance alerts.
I wish you Good days and Good water!
