ECOLOGICAL

Water: The Essence of Life Vortex will partner with you to evaluate your project to ensure that our solution is aligned with your needs and objectives. Our project team will design the appropriate water management system that will achieve your project goals while reducing environmental impact.

CONSERVING WATER

The Vortex Smartflow system is easily adapted to your project’s requirements to capture and re-purpose water, directing effluent to irrigation fields, to replenish reservoirs or allowing it to percolate safely into ground water. The Smartflow water management system is a signal pass circuit that provides the option to capture and reuse the water for irrigation or replenishing natural or artificial bodies of water. The Highflow system is a closed circuit that recycles and disinfects the water through advanced water treatment technologies. Our Highflow system is the ideal choice in regions affected by water shortages or low rainfall.

SAVING ENERGY

Vortex employs energy efficient equipment in all of its water management systems, and automation systems to conserve energy. High-efficiency pumps and on-demand activation will drastically reduce operating costs.

IMPROVING MATERIALS

Designed and manufactured in Canada for long life, Vortex uses quality, recyclable materials, including stainless steel and brass, as well as a high percentage of recycled content and polymers.

LOWERING MAINTENANCE

Our solutions are integrated with smart technologies that reduce maintenance requirements. Debris control and automated operating systems reduce maintenance frequency.

ECONOMICAL

Making the most of all your resourceS Vortex solutions have successfully helped customers increase attendance, enhance guest experience contributing to higher profitability of their parks & facilities.

“Splashpads have become a huge draw, not only within the neighborhoods, but across the city. So far, we are seeing about a four-fold attendance increase in each location compared to the pools.”

— Curtis Hancock Project Manager, Tacoma, Washington

“The City of Grove Splashpad is one of the best investments made in recreational activities offered to, and enjoyed by, our community…visitors to the Splashpad come from Grove, plus other communities — and even other states. it is not unusual to have 3 or 4 busloads of children visit the Splashpad daily.”

— Debbie Bottoroff Assistant City Manager, Grove, Oklahoma

“Our Splashpad has reduced labor and maintenance costs and has allowed more residents to enjoy this fresh and new water-play option!”

— Richard McCoy

Public Works Director, Robbinsdale, Minnesota

“So far we have done three projects with Vortex that included both Splashpads & Elevations and all have been a huge success. Not only have we been able to increase market share and room rates, but the kids love having their own play space and the dumping bucket is an exciting attraction for everyone to enjoy.”

— Andrew Casci

Director of Sports & Recreation, Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts
