WSP Whole House Water Softener - Metered, Commercial

If your faucets and showerheads are covered in scale, your dishes come out spotted, soap just won’t lather right, and your laundry feels stiff and rough, you’re dealing with hard water. The WSP Whole House Water Softener - Metered, Commercial is built to help reduce those problems across your entire home.

The problem you’re facing

Hard water leaves a visible mark. You see it as a crusty white or orange film on sinks, tubs, and toilets. It clogs your shower door with a cloudy, hard-to-clean residue. Your towels lose softness and feel scratchy after washing. Soap seems like it disappears quickly, never quite making bubbles. Even your coffee or tea can taste off because minerals in the water affect flavor.

Why it happens

Hard water contains dissolved minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium. When water heats up or evaporates, these minerals settle out as scale. The surest way to confirm hard water is through a hardness test, which measures how much calcium and magnesium are in your water. If it’s above about 7 grains per gallon, your water is hard enough to cause the problems you’re seeing.

What it costs you to leave it alone

Scale buildup shortens the life of your water heater and pipes by coating surfaces that need to transfer heat or allow flow. You’ll also use more soap and detergent because they don’t work as effectively on hard water. Appliances like dishwashers and washing machines have to work harder, which can lead to earlier breakdowns. On top of that, you’ll spend more time cleaning mineral deposits from fixtures and surfaces—stains that only grow tougher the longer you wait.

How this system helps

This water softener works by exchanging the minerals that cause hardness for sodium ions. Water flows through a bed of resin beads that attract and hold calcium and magnesium, swapping them for sodium. Over time, the resin fills up, and the system regenerates by flushing out the minerals with a salt brine so it can keep working effectively. The “metered” feature means it tracks your actual water use and only regenerates when needed, saving salt and water compared to timer-based units that regenerate on a fixed schedule whether they need to or not.

What this system can handle

Available in 15 sizes, this system covers from 120,000 to 600,000 grains of hardness removal capacity. That means it can serve anything from a busy household with significant water use and moderate hardness to larger homes or small commercial settings with very hard water. The 1-inch composite valve supports strong flow rates, suitable for multiple bathrooms and appliances running at once. It’s designed to handle fluctuating water use without wasteful regenerations, so you get soft water when you need it, with less salt and water spent. The included bypass valve lets you isolate the unit for maintenance without shutting off water to your home.

What you actually get

This system includes a durable black polyglass mineral tank covered by a lifetime warranty on the tank itself. The control valve and electronics carry the manufacturer’s own warranty terms. You also receive a bypass valve as part of the package, so you can continue using water during service or repairs. Ten feet of discharge hose for the drain line is included, ready for your plumber’s installation.

Is this the right size for you?

Choose a size based on how hard your water is and how much you use. Smaller capacities like 120,000 grains suit high-hardness homes with moderate water use, while larger sizes up to 600,000 grains are better for bigger households or small businesses with very hard water and heavy demand. If your water use is low or hardness mild, a smaller unit might be more efficient. If you’re unsure, our team can help you decide the right size after reviewing your water report and household needs.

Living with it

Maintenance mainly involves adding salt to the brine tank and occasional cleaning of the system components as advised. Because the system regenerates based on actual water use, salt and water consumption are more efficient than with timer models, reducing ongoing costs and hassle. The bypass valve makes routine service straightforward without interrupting your water supply. Your local licensed plumber will handle installation and any service beyond salt refills.

What it won’t do

This water softener helps reduce hardness minerals but does not address other water issues like sediment, chlorine, iron bacteria, or sulfur odors. For those, you’d need separate filtration or specialized treatment systems. It’s not designed to remove dissolved solids other than calcium and magnesium or to improve water taste beyond softening.
