WSP Whole House Iron & Sulfur Filter - Black Manganese Stains

If your water leaves orange-brown stains on fixtures or laundry, or if your showers sometimes smell like rotten eggs, these are signs of iron and sulfur in your water. The WSP Whole House Iron & Sulfur Filter helps reduce these problems, protecting your home and making your water more pleasant.

The problem you're living with

Maybe you’ve noticed orange or brown rings in your toilet tank or on sinks, dark stains on shower doors, or rusty marks on dishes and clothing. Sometimes your hot water smells like rotten eggs, especially when the shower runs. You might find towels feeling stiff or your coffee tasting off, like a swimming pool. These are common signs of iron and sulfur issues in household water.

Why it's happening

Iron and sulfur naturally occur underground and enter your water supply from wells or sometimes even city water lines. Iron shows up as tiny particles or dissolved ions that stain surfaces when they come into contact with air. Sulfur often appears as hydrogen sulfide gas, which causes that rotten egg smell. A simple iron or sulfur water test will confirm if these are the causes in your home.

What it’s costing you to leave it

Iron and sulfur cause more than just unsightly stains and odors. Iron deposits build up inside your water heater and pipes, reducing efficiency and shortening their life. You’ll need more soap and detergent to get dishes and laundry clean, as iron interferes with cleaning agents. Stains grow harder to remove the longer they sit, and the bad smell makes your water less enjoyable for drinking or bathing.

How this system fixes it

This system uses a process called oxidation combined with filtration. The water passes through a special media inside the tank that reacts with iron and sulfur compounds, turning them into solid particles that can be trapped and then flushed away during regular backwash cycles. This air-injection system keeps the media clean and restores its ability to remove these contaminants continuously.

What this system can handle

The WSP Whole House Iron & Sulfur Filter is designed for typical household water with moderate iron and sulfur levels. It works for homes with up to about six bathrooms, treating all your water from the main supply line to every tap. The system automatically cleans itself by flushing the trapped iron and sulfur out through a drain line, so you don’t have to worry about frequent manual maintenance. It’s more capable and longer-lasting than smaller units and fits well where water has both iron staining and a sulfur odor.

What you actually get

When you order this system, you receive the complete working filter set: a pressure tank covered by a lifetime warranty, a control valve that manages the air-injection and backwash cycles, and 10 feet of discharge hose to connect the drain line. Included in the price is a bypass valve so you can isolate the filter for servicing without shutting off water to your home. This setup is ready to install by your licensed plumber.

Is this the right size for you?

This filter fits households with one to six bathrooms, depending on your specific water usage and iron or sulfur levels. If your home is smaller or your water has lower contaminant levels, a smaller system might be more cost-effective. Conversely, very large homes or those with extremely high iron or sulfur will need a larger or specialized solution. We can help confirm the right choice when you inquire.

Living with it

The system carries out backwash cycles automatically on a schedule that matches your water conditions. Every few months, you’ll need to check the discharge hose and ensure the bypass valve operates smoothly. Aside from basic plumbing checks, there’s no daily effort required. Components like the tank are durable, and the control valve is serviceable if needed down the road.

What it won’t do

This filter is not a water softener and does not reduce hardness minerals like calcium or magnesium. It also does not remove sediment or chemical contaminants such as chlorine or pesticides. For problems like hardness, sediment, or chemical taste and odor, you would need additional or different treatment systems designed specifically for those issues.
