{"product_id":"vortech-tnk-5","title":"Vortech Tnk","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt for compact softener and filtration setups, this Enpress Vortech mineral tank in a 9\" x 48\" footprint pairs a durable composite pressure vessel with an Autotrol distributor kit. The charcoal-finish shell is engineered to handle the everyday pressure cycling of residential water-treatment equipment while keeping a low visual profile in tight utility spaces such as closets, garages, and crawl-space mechanical rooms. As the foundation of a whole-house system, the tank you choose determines how much media you can carry and how reliably the system holds up over years of daily service, which is why a quality composite vessel is a worthwhile starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Vortech distributor does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe integrated Vortech plate system at the base of the tank replaces the traditional gravel underbed found in older mineral tanks. By distributing flow evenly across the bottom of the media column, it reduces channeling, lowers pressure drop, and helps backwash media more efficiently using less water. That makes it a popular choice for whole-house softeners, carbon filters, and specialty media beds where consistent contact between water and media is essential for good results. Removing the gravel layer also lightens the finished tank and removes a messy, time-consuming step from the build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposite mineral tank, 9\" x 48\" size for limited-space installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharcoal exterior finish for a clean, neutral look in any utility area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Vortech distributor plate and Autotrol distributor kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates the need for gravel underbedding during build-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes lower water use during backwash cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 16 lbs, ideal for cartridge-style softener and filter media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tank is a smart fit for installers building a new softener or filter, or homeowners replacing an aging vessel that has begun to leak or fatigue. Begin the build by setting the riser and Vortech plate, loading your chosen resin or media, then mounting a compatible control valve to create the reliable core of a treatment system suited to both municipal and well-water supplies. Sizing the 9-inch diameter to your fixture count keeps service flow comfortable, while periodic backwashing keeps the media bed clean, loosened, and fully active. Inspect the gaskets and O-rings at each service interval, and the vessel will deliver consistent softening or filtration performance throughout its long life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nelsen Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668795547701,"sku":"ENPT0948-C-VORTECH-A","price":334.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/enpt0948-c-vortech-a.jpg?v=1782533433","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/vi-as\/products\/vortech-tnk-5","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
