WSP Control Valve - 3" Port

Water Softener Plus (WSP) offers a 3-inch port control valve designed to manage the backwash and regeneration cycles of your water softener or filter system. This motorized valve provides seamless switching between treatment tanks, ensuring your household or facility always has treated water available without interruption.

The moment you notice something off with your water

A guest fills a glass at the sink and pauses, commenting on an unusual taste. The sink's surface shows stubborn stains that never fully come clean, and you’ve seen mineral buildup along the faucet. These signs point to your water treatment system cycling through its cleaning stages but leaving you with a gap in treated water or inconsistent results. It’s a subtle but frustrating interruption in what should be smooth, continuous water treatment.

How the control valve keeps your water flowing right

This valve is the key part that tells your softener or filter when to start cleaning itself and when to switch water flow between tanks. It does this automatically with a motorized actuator, switching service from one tank to another so one can regenerate without cutting off your treated water. In homes or facilities where uninterrupted water is essential, this valve acts as the traffic controller, managing timing and flow to keep soft, treated water coming without downtime.

No media inside — it works with what you already have

This product isn’t a filter or softener itself and doesn’t contain media like resin or catalytic material. Instead, it controls the process for the media housed in your tanks. Its job is to automate when and how those tanks clean themselves (a process called regeneration or backwashing) by controlling water flow through the system. Think of it as the system’s brain, coordinating treatment cycles to deliver continuous treated water.

Fit for tanks with a 3-inch port, built to match your system

The valve fits tanks with a 3-inch port size. While we don’t list specific tank dimensions here, this size typically suits larger residential systems or smaller commercial setups that need steady, uninterrupted service. When we prepare your quote, we’ll confirm the exact tank size and system layout to ensure the valve matches perfectly.

Right for homes needing continuous treated water without downtime

This valve is ideal if your softener or filter system uses two or more tanks working in alternation so you never lose access to treated water during cleaning cycles. It fits residential systems sized to tanks with 3-inch ports. If your system is smaller or uses single tanks, a different valve size might suit better. Confirming your flow rate and water treatment needs with us will guide the right fit.

What you get and how to move forward

You receive the motorized control valve itself, the device that automatically switches water flow between tanks to allow continuous treatment. The exact system setup, including tank size and configuration, is confirmed when we size your equipment. Installation is by your plumber, using the valve to replace or upgrade your existing control head.

Who this size is right for

With 3" porting, this head is rated to drive a system serving a commercial or industrial installation - around high continuous demand with large-diameter service piping.

Porting sets the ceiling on service flow, so pair this with a tank and a household that sit inside it. Tell us your tank size and we will check the match before you order.
