WSP Whole House 1,2,3-TCP Reduction System

If your water tests show 1,2,3-trichloropropane (TCP), a chemical sometimes found in groundwater and public supplies, this system helps reduce it throughout your entire home. It uses a reliable carbon filtration process sized to your household’s needs.

The problem you’re facing

You might notice that your water has an unusual chemical taste or smell that you can’t quite place. Maybe you’ve had a water test reveal the presence of 1,2,3-trichloropropane, or TCP for short. This is a man-made chemical once used in industrial solvents and some pesticides, and it can linger in drinking water supplies. TCP isn’t something you see or smell at very low levels, but you know it’s there because of a lab result. You want to reduce it, not just in one tap but throughout your whole house, to avoid its presence in your drinking, cooking, and bathing water.

Why TCP is in your water

TCP gets into water sources mainly through industrial pollution or pesticide runoff that seeps into groundwater or surface water. Testing your water at a certified lab is the only way to confirm TCP’s presence. If your test shows TCP, your water treatment needs something specific designed to reduce this chemical. It’s not something a regular water softener or basic filter will handle effectively.

What it costs you to leave it untreated

While TCP doesn’t cause scale or staining like minerals in hard water, its presence means your water isn’t as clean as it could be for household use. This chemical can affect taste and odor, which may change how your coffee or cooking water tastes. Over time, you might feel uneasy using your tap water fully, which means relying on bottled water or other costly alternatives. Addressing it at the source with the right system means convenience and confidence in your home’s water supply.

How this system helps reduce TCP

The core of this system is a tank filled with special activated carbon made from coconut shells. Activated carbon works by capturing and holding onto chemicals like TCP as water passes through the tank. The longer the water stays in contact with the carbon, the more TCP it helps reduce. The system also uses a backwashing control valve that periodically cleans the carbon bed by flushing out trapped particles, keeping the carbon active and your water flowing freely without the need for cartridge replacements.

What this system can handle

This is a whole-house system designed to reduce TCP at every tap — not just your kitchen faucet. It comes in sizes matched to home sizes from 1-3 bathrooms, 3-4 bathrooms, up to 5-6 bathrooms, so it can handle typical household flow rates and water volumes. The backwashing valve keeps the system running smoothly by cleaning the carbon bed on a schedule, reducing downtime and maintenance. It’s built for residential water supplies with typical TCP levels and will keep working as long as the media is effective and the system is maintained.

What you actually get

You receive a complete, ready-to-install system featuring a whole-house adsorption tank filled with deep-bed coconut-shell activated carbon. On top is a reliable Fleck 5600 SXT backwashing control valve that manages the cleaning cycles of the carbon bed automatically. The system includes a bypass valve so you can isolate it easily for service without shutting off water to your home. You also get 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line. The tank itself carries a lifetime warranty, giving you long-term peace of mind.

Is this the right size for you?

This system fits most homes with 1 to 6 bathrooms, scaled to your household’s water use and flow needs. If your home is smaller or larger than this range, or your TCP levels are unusually high, you might need a different size or a multi-tank setup. We offer free sizing help based on your water test or household details to make sure the system matches your needs exactly.

Living with it

Maintenance mainly involves occasional backwashing, which the system does automatically on a set schedule. Over time, the activated carbon media will need replacement — how often depends on your water’s TCP level and usage. Expect media replacement every couple of years as a typical timeline. The included bypass valve lets your plumber easily service the system without interrupting your household water supply. The system runs quietly and requires no daily attention.

What it won’t do

This system is designed to reduce 1,2,3-trichloropropane specifically and some similar chemical contaminants. It does not soften hard water minerals, remove iron or manganese stains, or filter out bacteria or sediment. If you have other water quality issues, you’ll need additional equipment tailored to those problems.
