Built on Proven Water Technology
Vortex Water Solutions is built on decades of proven technology, real-world application, and continuous refinement. Our foundation is Controlled Hydrodynamic Cavitation (CHC), a non-chemical water treatment approach with roots tracing back to the early 1990s.
Leadership With Continuity & Depth
Gregg Montgomery
Founder and CEO
Vortex Water Solutions is led by Founder and CEO Gregg Montgomery, a seasoned executive with over four decades of experience in industrial systems and emerging technologies.
Throughout his career, Gregg has held leadership roles across multiple organizations focused on advanced systems and CHC-related technologies. His background includes global sales leadership, market expansion, and the development of early-stage innovation platforms.
In 2017, Gregg founded Vortex CHC, LLC to accelerate the adoption of chemical-free water treatment and provide a scalable alternative to traditional chemical programs.
His leadership philosophy is centered on a clear objective:
Deliver measurable operational value while helping organizations reduce water consumption, eliminate chemicals, and improve environmental performance.
Carl Steffen
Director of Applications and Engineering
Carl Steffen leads applications and engineering for Vortex Water Solutions, bringing decades of hands-on experience in CHC system design and industrial water applications.
With involvement in CHC-related systems dating back to the early 2000s, Carl provides essential continuity between early-generation systems and today’s advanced solutions.
He is responsible for:
- Application engineering and system design
- Integration into HVAC, process cooling, and industrial systems
- Performance optimization based on real operating conditions
Carl’s approach reflects a core principle:
Every system must be engineered for performance in the field—not designed as a one-size-fits-all solution.
Engineering That Delivers Results
At Vortex Water Solutions, technology is not delivered as a standalone product—it is delivered as a complete system designed to perform in real-world conditions.
Each solution integrates:
- CHC-based cavitation technology
- High-efficiency filtration systems
- Application-specific engineering tailored to system requirements
This approach ensures consistent performance while reducing maintenance complexity and improving operational efficiency.
The result is a solution designed to work within the realities of your system—not just in ideal conditions.
