Nelsen Vortech Mineral Tank — 9"x48" (Almond)

Stepping up in capacity, this Water Softener Plus Vortech mineral tank measures 9 x 48 inches in a natural (almond) finish and includes an Autotrol distributor kit. The larger 9-inch diameter holds noticeably more media than an 8-inch tank, making it well suited to higher-capacity water softeners and whole-house filters that demand greater treatment volume to keep up with busy households or tougher water.

More Capacity, Smarter Backwash

At the base of the tank, the Vortech distribution plate replaces the conventional gravel underbed. During backwash it directs water in a sweeping, rotating pattern that lifts and cleans the media efficiently, reducing the water consumed per regeneration while keeping the bed in top condition and free of channeling. Eliminating the support gravel also lightens the tank and removes the fussy step of adding and leveling gravel during assembly, so building or rebuilding the system is faster and cleaner. The larger bed combined with efficient backwashing makes this a strong choice for demanding installations.
