WSP Whole House Water Softener - Metered

If you’re tired of dealing with hard water that leaves scale on your fixtures, spots your dishes, makes soap stubborn to lather, and leaves laundry feeling stiff, this water softener helps reduce those problems. It adapts to your water use to save salt and water while improving your home’s water quality.

The problem you’re living with

Hard water shows up as a chalky white or orange scale on faucets and shower doors. It leaves spots on glasses and dishes, even after washing. Soap just doesn’t foam right, so you use more shampoo or detergent but still get less clean. Your towels feel rough or stiff, and over time your sinks and tubs may look dull or stained. You spend extra time scrubbing and probably notice your water heater or appliances aren’t working as efficiently as they used to.

Why it’s happening

Hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium. When the water heats up or evaporates, these minerals settle out as scale. The only way to check if your water is hard is with a simple water hardness test, which measures how many grains of hardness are in each gallon. If you see scale buildup and your test shows hardness above about 7 grains per gallon, this system can help.

What it’s costing you to leave it

Scale buildup shortens the life of your water heater and household appliances because it insulates heating elements and makes them work harder. You’ll use more soap and detergent than necessary, increasing your monthly expenses. Fixtures develop stains and require more frequent and intense cleaning. Over time, your plumbing can clog and lose flow, meaning repairs or early replacement. Laundry looks dingy and feels harsh, and dishes don’t come out as clean or spot-free as they should.

How this system fixes it

This water softener uses a process called ion exchange, where hard minerals in your water swap places with sodium ions on a resin inside the system. This reduces the minerals that cause scale and soap problems. It tracks your actual water use and regenerates the resin only when needed, so it uses salt and water efficiently.

What this system can handle

The WSP Whole House Water Softener comes in two sizes: one with a capacity range of 32,000 to 64,000 grains and another with a fixed 48,000-grain capacity. Both can handle typical household water hardness and volume demands. The system’s metered design means it monitors your water consumption and regenerates the resin only when necessary, so it’s more efficient than older softeners that regenerate on a fixed schedule. You can expect it to reduce scale buildup throughout your plumbing, improve soap performance, and soften laundry and dishes. It also includes options that combine softening with filtration to address chlorine taste and odors if needed.

What you actually get

The system includes a pressure vessel (the tank) covered by a lifetime warranty, so you won’t need to worry about that part wearing out. It also comes with a bypass valve at no extra cost, so your plumber can isolate the system and maintain water flow during servicing. Plus, you get 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line. The control valve and electronics carry the manufacturer’s own warranty terms. The precise setup and configuration are confirmed when the system is sized for your specific water conditions.

Is this the right size for you?

If your household water hardness and consumption fall within the 32,000 to 64,000 grain range, the adjustable system size can match your needs exactly. The 48,000-grain version suits medium-sized households with consistent water use and hardness levels. If your water is very hard or your household water use is high, the larger capacity model may be a better fit. Conversely, if your water is only mildly hard or your usage is low, you might consider a smaller unit to avoid unnecessary salt and water use during regeneration.

Living with it

Maintenance mainly involves refilling the salt supply as needed, which varies depending on your water hardness and household consumption but generally happens every few weeks to months. The metered control valve ensures regenerations occur only when needed, so salt and water use are kept efficient. The bypass valve allows easy isolation of the system for servicing without shutting off water to your home. Routine maintenance can be done by your local licensed plumber.

What it won’t do

This system helps reduce hardness minerals but does not remove bacteria, viruses, or chemical contaminants. If you have issues with iron staining, sulfur odors, or specific chemical tastes, you may need additional filtration systems designed for those problems. It also won’t soften water that is extremely hard beyond its capacity without more frequent regeneration or a larger system.
