WSP Whole House Water Filter - Heavy Metals Whole-House

This whole house water filter from Water Softener Plus (WSP) helps reduce unpleasant taste, odour, and particles throughout your home’s water. It’s designed to handle common whole-house water quality issues involving heavy metals and other contaminants, keeping your water clearer and fresher from every tap.

The problem you’re living with

Maybe your tap water smells odd or tastes metallic, and you notice a fine sediment settling in your glass or leaving a film on your shower door. Perhaps your coffee doesn’t taste right or your laundry feels dingy despite using your usual detergent. These issues can affect every faucet, making daily tasks less pleasant and more time-consuming because you keep wiping down surfaces or using more soap to get things clean.

Why it’s happening

This usually comes from tiny particles and dissolved metals like lead, mercury, copper, or nickel in your water supply. These aren’t always visible but can cause that off-taste or staining over time. The best way to confirm if this is your issue is a water test that checks for heavy metals and general sediment or chlorine levels. That gives a clear picture of what’s causing the water quality problems you see and taste.

What it’s costing you to leave it

Without treatment, these metals and particles build up inside your pipes and appliances. That causes your water heater and other equipment to work harder and wear out sooner. You’ll use more soap and detergent to get dishes and laundry clean, which adds up over time. Stains and film on fixtures get tougher to remove, meaning more scrubbing and upkeep around the house.

How this system fixes it

This system works by running all the water in your home through a special tank filled with a mix of treatment media. These materials use a process called “redox” and adsorption, which means they attract and trap metals and organic compounds while balancing flow with a layer of garnet. The filter automatically cleans itself on a set schedule by flushing out trapped particles, so it keeps working effectively for years without constant attention.

What this system can handle

The WSP Heavy Metals Whole House Water Filter targets a broad range of metals including lead, mercury, copper, and nickel, along with other common contaminants like chlorine and organic chemicals. It treats the entire home’s water supply, ensuring every tap delivers improved water quality. The system’s media bed stays fresh for years thanks to an automatic self-cleaning valve that backwashes it periodically. It can handle typical household water use and keeps flow even with its graded garnet underbed, which supports consistent water pressure.

What you actually get

The system includes a durable tank with a lifetime warranty on the pressure vessel, so the main body is protected for life. It comes with a Fleck 5600SXT metered valve that controls the cleaning cycles automatically. You also receive a bypass valve at no extra cost, letting you isolate the filter during maintenance without shutting off water to the whole house. Additionally, 10 feet of discharge hose is included for the drain line, so you’ll have what you need to connect the system properly.

Is this the right size for you

This model suits typical single-family homes with average water usage. If your household has very high water demand or unusual water chemistry, you might need a larger or specialized system. Conversely, smaller homes or those with only minor taste or sediment issues might find a more compact filter sufficient. We can help you determine the right fit based on your water test results and daily water use.

Living with it

Once installed by your licensed plumber, the system runs automatically with minimal maintenance. The main upkeep is occasional checking of the system’s operation and ensuring the drain line remains clear. The media bed cleans itself on a set schedule without you needing to intervene. Over time, the media will eventually need replacement, but that happens on a timescale of years, not months.

What it won’t do

This system helps reduce heavy metals, chlorine, organic compounds, and particles but does not soften water or remove minerals that cause hardness. If hard water scale is your main issue, you’ll need a separate water softener. It also doesn’t remove bacteria, viruses, or nitrate contaminants—those require different types of treatment equipment.
