WSP 15,000–64,000 Grain Mineral Tank - Metered, Autotrol 460

If your water softener or filtration system needs a reliable pressure vessel to hold the media bed, the WSP 15,000–64,000 Grain Mineral Tank with Autotrol 460 control offers a durable, metered solution. It’s designed to fit whole-house systems sized from smaller homes up to large households, ensuring efficient and controlled water treatment.

The problem you’re facing

You have a whole-house water treatment system, but the tank that holds the media—the resin or mineral bed—is aging, leaking, or just not up to the job anymore. Maybe your current tank is corroded, cracked, or the control valve isn’t measuring water use properly. Without a reliable pressure vessel, your system can’t treat water consistently, leading to poor softening or filtration performance. That leaves you with hard water problems like scale buildup, soap scum, or mineral stains inside your home.

Why this is happening

The pressure vessel, or mineral tank, holds the resin or media that removes hardness minerals from your water. Over time, tanks can rust through or get damaged, especially if they’re made from materials not suited for water environments. The control valve attached to the tank measures water flow and triggers regeneration when the resin’s capacity runs low. If the valve or tank fails, your system won’t regenerate properly, causing diminished water treatment. A simple test is to check for leaks or unusual noises from the tank, and verify whether the softener regenerates on a proper schedule based on actual water use.

What it’s costing you to leave it

Using a worn-out or undersized mineral tank means your softener won’t work efficiently. That leads to more scale buildup inside pipes, water heaters, and appliances, which reduces their life and makes them less efficient. You’ll likely use more soap and detergent because hard water interferes with cleaning, and you may spend extra time scrubbing mineral stains off fixtures and glassware. Over time, this adds up to higher running costs and more hassle maintaining your plumbing and home surfaces.

How this system fixes it

This mineral tank is a pressure vessel designed to hold your media bed securely and safely under water pressure. It works with an Autotrol 460 electronic demand control valve, which measures how much water you use and only triggers regeneration when the media’s capacity is actually spent. The resin inside uses ion exchange—that’s a process where hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium swap places with softening ions, helping reduce scale and improve water quality for your home.

What this system can handle

The WSP mineral tank covers a range from 15,000 to 64,000 grains of capacity, meaning it suits homes from modest to large in size. It’s built on the reliable Autotrol 460 platform known for metered, demand-based regeneration that saves on salt and water by regenerating only when needed, not on a fixed schedule. The tank’s corrosion-proof design means it will stand up to the test of time, and the included bypass valve allows easy servicing or maintenance without shutting off your water supply. Its fine-mesh, 10% cross-linked cation resin helps tolerate light iron in your water and extends resin life compared to standard grades.

What you actually get

This product includes the corrosion-proof mineral tank with a lifetime warranty on the tank itself. It comes with the Autotrol 255 valve paired with 460 electronic demand controls that precisely meter your water use for efficient regeneration. There’s also a bypass valve included, which makes servicing straightforward without interrupting your water flow. The exact configuration is confirmed when the system is sized for your specific water conditions.

Is this the right size for you

This mineral tank suits homes with water softening needs anywhere within the 15,000 to 64,000 grain range. Smaller households with lower water use might opt for a smaller capacity tank, while very large households or light commercial settings may need to size up beyond this range. If you’re unsure, a sizing conversation based on your water hardness and daily water use will help ensure you get the right fit.

Living with it

Maintenance mainly involves keeping an eye on salt levels and ensuring the system regenerates as programmed. The metered demand control helps reduce unnecessary regenerations, which saves salt and water. The bypass valve makes servicing or replacing the resin bed easier without shutting off your home’s water. Expect to have your plumber check the system roughly once a year to confirm everything runs smoothly.

What it won’t do

This mineral tank and control valve handle softening and light iron tolerance but are not designed for removing high levels of sediment, bacteria, or chemical contaminants. If you need filtration for chlorine, sediment, or heavy iron removal, additional filtration components would be necessary. This is strictly the pressure vessel and control platform for holding and managing your media bed in a softening or similar treatment system.
