WSP Whole House Backwashing Filter, C-Series

If your water brings sand, rust flakes, or sediment into your pipes, or if your tap water tastes off, a self-cleaning filter bed can help. The WSP Whole House Backwashing Filter, C-Series, uses an automated cleaning cycle to keep your water clear and improve taste throughout your home.

The Problem You’re Living With

Maybe you notice gritty particles in your water, or your coffee has a faint metallic taste. Perhaps there’s a fine film on glassware or a slight discoloration in faucets and showerheads. These are signs that sediment, rust, or other particles are making their way into your water supply. Over time, this can clog fixtures and filters, and the taste can be unpleasant.

Why It’s Happening

The cause is usually suspended particles like sand, silt, rust, or other sediment entering your water lines. This could be from aging pipes, well water, or disturbances in your municipal supply. The one test that confirms this is a simple sediment test, where water is collected and allowed to settle, revealing visible particles that need removing.

What It’s Costing You To Leave It

Ignoring sediment in your water means your plumbing and appliances work harder and wear faster. Particles can build up inside water heaters, reducing efficiency and shortening their lifespan. You’ll likely use more soap and detergent to get dishes and laundry clean, and you’ll spend more time scrubbing away residue on shower doors and sinks. Stains and mineral deposits can grow harder to remove the longer they sit.

How This System Fixes It

This system uses a backwashing filter bed cleaned by an automated cycle. It traps particles in a bed of specially chosen media (like fine sand or other materials suited to your water’s sediment). When the media gets clogged, the system runs a backwash—it reverses the water flow to lift and rinse the particles away, flushing them down the drain. This keeps the media bed clean and working at full capacity without manual intervention.

What This System Can Handle

The WSP Whole House Backwashing Filter, C-Series, is built on a 14-inch diameter tank with a C-Series control valve that manages the automatic backwash cycle. It’s sized for larger homes and light commercial use, treating all the water entering your property. The media inside is selected based on the specific sediment or taste problem identified in your water test. This system maintains flow rates and filtering capacity over time thanks to its self-cleaning design, preventing the filter bed from packing down or blinding off. It handles typical sediment loads that cause cloudiness, taste issues, and staining.

What You Actually Get

Your system includes a pressure vessel tank covered by a lifetime warranty. The control valve and its electronics come with the manufacturer’s standard warranty. A bypass valve is included too, so you can isolate the filter system for maintenance without shutting off water to your whole house. You’ll also get 10 feet of discharge hose ready to connect the drain line for backwash water.

Is This the Right Size for You?

This filter is a good fit if you have a larger home or a small commercial facility with significant particulate issues. If your household is smaller or your sediment problem is light, a smaller unit might be more economical. Conversely, if you have very heavy sediment loads or need extremely high flow rates, you may want to look at even larger or more specialized equipment. We’ll help you get the right size when you request your quote.

Living With It

Once installed by your local licensed plumber, the system runs its backwash cycles automatically, typically on a schedule set to match your water quality and usage. You’ll need to check the system occasionally and keep the drain line clear, but there’s no daily effort required. Periodic servicing by a qualified technician ensures the control valve and media continue performing well. This is straightforward maintenance, with parts and support readily available.

What It Won’t Do

This filter is designed for particulate and taste issues related to sediment. It doesn’t reduce hardness (calcium and magnesium), remove chlorine, iron in dissolved form, bacteria, or chemical contaminants. If those are your concerns, you’ll need a different treatment system tailored to those specific problems.
