WSP Whole House Iron & Sulfur Filter - All-In-One, 5"

Orange-brown stains in sinks and tubs and that unmistakable rotten-egg smell from your hot water aren’t just annoying. They’re quietly wearing down your water heater and appliances, causing you to use more soap and spend more time cleaning. The WSP Whole House Iron & Sulfur Filter tackles these issues throughout your entire home’s water supply.

What Your Orange Stains and Smell Are Really Costing You

When iron and sulfur are in your water, they leave rusty-colored rings in your toilet tanks, coat your fixtures with a stubborn film, and make towels feel rough after washing. Over time, the dissolved iron and hydrogen sulfide gas can form scale that builds up inside your water heater and appliances. This buildup forces them to work harder, using more energy and wearing out faster. Plus, your soap and detergent don’t lather as well, so you use more in laundry and dishes. It all adds up to extra time, effort, and expense just to keep your home running smoothly.

How the Control Head Keeps Your System Running Smoothly

The heart of this filter is its automatic control head that manages the cleaning cycles without you needing to lift a finger. It pulls in a pocket of air to naturally react with and oxidize iron, manganese, and sulfur compounds, turning them into particles the media can trap. When the filter bed collects enough particles, the system automatically backwashes—that is, it reverses water flow to rinse the filter clean and restore the air pocket. This cycle helps the filter maintain its effectiveness over time and uses 1.5-inch porting to handle higher water flow for larger homes.

The Special Media Inside That Does the Heavy Lifting

Inside the tank is an oxidizing filter bed designed to target iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide. The media encourages these dissolved contaminants to change into solid particles, which it then traps. This approach doesn’t rely on chemicals, which means you avoid adding anything extra to your water supply. The media’s design matches the problems you face, helping keep your water clearer and free from that sulfur smell.

The Filter Tank and What It Means for Your Home

The filter comes in a durable pressure vessel built to handle your home’s full water flow. While the exact size of the tank is confirmed when we size your system, it’s designed for whole-house use on typical single-family homes. Its robust construction supports the larger 1.5-inch control valve and plumbing ports, ensuring water flows smoothly without pressure loss even during busy times.

Who Should Consider This Filter and When to Look Elsewhere

This system suits homes with higher water demand—typically those with multiple bathrooms or larger plumbing setups that require strong flow without compromising filter performance. If your home is smaller or has lower water usage, a more compact system might be a better fit. On the other hand, if your water issues include different contaminants outside iron, manganese, or sulfur, other treatment options may be necessary.

What Comes with Your WSP Iron & Sulfur Filter

Every system includes a lifetime warranty on the filter tank itself, so the pressure vessel is covered for as long as you own it. The control valve and electronics have the manufacturer’s warranty as well. We include a bypass valve so you can isolate the filter during maintenance without losing water supply to your home. Also included is 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line, making installation straightforward for your licensed plumber.
