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

If your water supply contains 1,2,3-trichloropropane (TCP), a chemical that doesn’t show up in taste or smell but needs careful removal, this system is designed to help reduce it. It treats your entire home’s water, using media proven to capture TCP at the trace levels it occurs.

The problem you might not see

Your water could contain 1,2,3-trichloropropane, often called TCP, which doesn’t give off any odor or taste. You won’t notice it when you shower or drink your tap water. The only way to know it’s there is by a specialized lab test because it’s found in extremely small amounts. Standard water testing usually misses it, so it’s easy to overlook even if it’s a concern for your household.

Why TCP shows up in water

TCP is a man-made chemical that got into groundwater mainly through certain soil fumigants and chemical manufacturing byproducts. It sticks around once it’s in the water because it doesn’t break down easily. That’s why it can linger at very low levels in wells or even public water systems in some areas. The only reliable way to confirm it’s in your water is by requesting a test specifically for TCP from a laboratory equipped to detect such trace chemicals.

What it costs you to leave TCP untreated

Because TCP is present at such low levels, it won’t cause visible stains or taste problems. But its presence means your water isn’t as clean as it should be. Leaving it untreated means relying on water that contains a persistent industrial chemical. While it won’t damage appliances or plumbing like minerals do, many homeowners want to reduce this contaminant to protect the quality of water they use every day.

How this system helps reduce TCP

The system works by passing your water through a special type of granular activated carbon designed to attract and hold onto TCP molecules. This process is called adsorption — the media pulls the chemical from the water as it flows through. Because TCP occurs in tiny amounts, the water must spend enough time in contact with the carbon to allow the media to capture it effectively.

What this system can handle

This whole-house system is built to treat TCP at the trace levels you find in groundwater or municipal supplies. It’s sized based on your specific TCP concentration and your household’s daily water use, ensuring enough contact time to reduce this contaminant effectively. The system can handle typical household flow rates and will continue to work reliably until the carbon media reaches capacity. When that happens depends on your water’s TCP level — we size the system accordingly and help you plan when to replace the media for ongoing performance.

What you actually get

The system includes a pressure vessel tank covered by a lifetime warranty, which means the tank itself is built to last. Inside, the specialized carbon media is loaded to capture TCP, and the system comes with a control valve and electronics backed by the manufacturer’s warranty terms. You also get a bypass valve included at no extra charge, so you can isolate the unit and keep water flowing to your home during servicing. For drain requirements, there’s a 10-foot discharge hose included as well.

Is this the right size for you?

This system suits households where TCP has been confirmed by lab testing and where daily water use matches typical family demand. If your water test shows very low TCP levels or your water use is unusually high, we recommend contacting us for a tailored size recommendation. Smaller units may not provide sufficient contact time, and larger ones aren’t necessary for typical homes with tested levels. We assist you with sizing when you send us your TCP lab results and water use details.

Living with this system

Maintaining the system mostly means replacing the activated carbon media on a schedule based on your TCP levels and water use, typically once the media is saturated and no longer effectively adsorbs TCP. This replacement interval is clear once your system is sized and we provide instructions. The bypass valve makes servicing easier by allowing you to keep water running while the system is offline. Besides media changes, there’s no frequent maintenance required, and the effort involved is straightforward.

What it won’t do

This system is specifically designed to help reduce 1,2,3-trichloropropane. It does not treat other common water issues like hardness, iron, sulfur odors, bacteria, or sediment. If you have more than one water concern, you may need additional equipment tailored to those problems. We’re happy to help you understand what combination of systems fits your water quality needs.

Why buy this from Water Softener Plus

We offer this system with genuine, serviceable components, including a tank with a lifetime warranty. Unlike sealed units that must be replaced entirely, parts and media are available to keep the system working long term. We ship from Tampa, Florida, with free U.S. delivery included in the price. Our team provides expert sizing help based on your lab results and water use, ensuring you get the right system for your home. Plus, there’s a 90-day money-back guarantee if you decide it’s not the right fit.

Included with this system

• Lifetime warranty on the tank. The control valve and electronics carry the manufacturer's own warranty.
• Bypass valve included, so the system can be isolated for service while water keeps running to the house.
• 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line.
