WSP Whole House Sediment Filter

If your water looks cloudy or you find sand and grit in your taps, the WSP Whole House Sediment Filter helps reduce these particles before they reach your plumbing. It’s a straightforward, low-maintenance way to keep sediment from damaging your pipes and appliances.

The problem you’re facing

Your water isn’t clear. You might see tiny sand grains settling in sinks, notice a gritty feel when you shower, or find cloudy water that looks like it needs a good stir before it clears. Over time, this sediment builds up as orange or brown deposits around faucets, in toilets, or inside your water heater tank.

Why it’s happening

Sediment like sand, shale, or small particles from your water source flows right through your pipes when there’s no barrier to catch it. These particles are heavier than water, so they settle where water slows down or in appliances. The best way to confirm if sediment is your issue is a simple visual check of your water—clear water with visible grit means sediment is present.

What it’s costing you to leave it

Letting sediment run through your plumbing wears down seals in pumps and valves faster than usual. It can clog and scratch showerheads, faucets, and even your dishwasher or washing machine, making your appliances work harder and shortening their lifespan. You’ll likely spend more time scrubbing away stains and deposits, and your water heater may need replacing sooner because sediment settles inside the tank and reduces its efficiency.

How this system fixes it

The filter uses a swirl chamber inside the tank where incoming water spins around, pushing heavier particles like sand to the bottom by gravity. This separation happens naturally as water moves, without filters or cartridges to clean or replace. When sediment collects at the bottom, you flush it out during simple maintenance.

What this system can handle

This sediment filter is built to manage substantial amounts of sand, grit, and similar particles. It handles flows up to 65 gallons per minute, suitable for most homes and smaller facilities. The large 1-1/2" inlet and outlet connections let water move through easily without slowing down your household water pressure. It works continuously without electricity or backwashing, making it reliable and simple wherever your water comes from.

What you actually get

The system includes the main pressure tank, covered by a lifetime warranty for the tank itself. A bypass valve is included, so you can keep water flowing to your home while servicing the filter. You also receive 10 feet of discharge hose for draining collected sediment during maintenance. The control valve and electronics carry the manufacturer’s standard warranties.

Is this the right size for you?

This filter suits homeowners and facility managers with steady water use up to about 65 gallons per minute who face issues with sand or sediment. If your water flow regularly exceeds this, or if you face additional water problems like iron or sulfur, you may want to consider larger or more specialized systems.

Living with it

Maintenance mainly consists of periodic flushing to remove the sediment collected in the tank’s bottom. This is a simple manual blow-down using the included drain line. The bypass valve makes this easy without interrupting your water supply. There’s no cartridge to replace and no cleaning needed inside the tank for years, keeping upkeep straightforward and low-effort.

What it won’t do

This system does not address water hardness, dissolved chemicals, bacteria, or odors. If you have issues with iron stains, sulfur smells, or hard water scale, you’ll need additional treatment designed for those specific problems.
