ENPRESS LLC’s Vortech® and Mid-Vortech® distributor systems are engineered to improve hydraulic efficiency, reduce water consumption, and simplify the internal design of water filtration and softening vessels. By integrating distributor plates directly into the tank structure, ENPRESS eliminates the need for gravel underbedding and allows multiple filtration media layers within a single tank. How Vortech® Works Enpress Vortech Plate Technology Video The Vortech® bottom plate serves as a built-in distribution system. It replaces the traditional hub-and-lateral assembly, evenly dispersing flow across the tank floor during service and regeneration. This uniform distribution minimizes channeling and promotes better media contact. The dip tube connects directly to the plate, ensuring stable hydraulics and easier maintenance. No gravel underbed required Up to 30% reduction in backwash flow requirements Lightweight, efficient, and designed for clean, even ...

Water softening systems are basically an appliance that treats incoming water to the home to remove hardness minerals (Calcium, Magnesium) present in water and provide conditioned, softened water for the home to protect plumbing fixtures and water-using appliances, to prevent hard water scale buildup, and iron staining. Making the home run more efficient. Water softeners/conditioners are not the solution to every water treatment problem. There are a myriad of water chemistry problems, such as high iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and low PH, along with many other water problems that require different types of water treatment equipment to properly treat the water.  The first step in determining the proper water treatment solution is a comprehensive water analysis to determine water hardness, iron, and other water chemistry issues that may require more treatment options than just a water softener. Water softeners have six main components: 1. Control Valve 2. Dist...
