WSP Whole House Microplastics Reduction System

If your water sometimes tastes off or shows tiny particles, you may be dealing with microplastics and other emerging contaminants. This system from Water Softener Plus (WSP) helps reduce those invisible plastics and trace substances throughout your whole house water supply.

The problem

You might notice your water looks cloudy under close inspection, or your coffee has a strange aftertaste. Maybe you’ve seen tiny bits floating in your drinking glass or on shower surfaces. These can be microplastics—small plastic fragments from packaging, textiles, or breaking down debris—as well as trace compounds that older filters don’t catch. They are too small to see easily, but they can be present in tap water and affect how clean your water feels.

Why it’s happening

Microplastics come from everyday plastic products slowly breaking down and getting into water sources. They don’t dissolve but stay as tiny particles. Meanwhile, emerging contaminants are a variety of trace chemicals from pharmaceuticals, industrial byproducts, and other sources that traditional water treatment wasn’t designed to remove. A simple home filter won’t catch these because they require fine filtration plus a way to attract and hold onto dissolved compounds.

What it’s costing you to leave it

Leaving microplastics and trace organics in your water means they reach every faucet and appliance. Over time, that can affect the taste and feel of your water and beverages. You might spend extra time cleaning film off shower glass or notice an unusual residue on dishes. Appliances might not function as smoothly, and your family loses the reassurance of cleaner water. It’s not about health claims but about maintaining water quality you can trust for everyday use.

How this system fixes it

This system works by combining two main steps: first, it filters out microplastics with a very fine mechanical filter that traps the particles physically. Then, the water passes through an adsorption media—a material designed to attract and hold dissolved trace organics, reducing their presence. Together, these steps reduce both solid particles and chemical traces in your water before it reaches your taps.

What this system can handle

This whole-house system treats all the water coming into your home, so every tap, shower, and appliance benefits. It’s sized and configured based on your water source and household needs, ensuring it can handle typical household water use without frequent maintenance. The system works continuously until its media needs replacing, offering ongoing reduction of microplastics and a variety of emerging contaminants that older filters miss. It’s a more thorough approach than simple sediment filters but designed for everyday home water treatment.

What you actually get

Included is a pressure vessel (the tank) covered by a lifetime warranty, guaranteeing the core structure for as long as you own your home. The control valve and electronics carry the standard manufacturer’s warranty. You also receive a bypass valve at no extra cost, so your plumber can isolate the system for service without shutting off water to the house. Plus, you’ll get 10 feet of discharge hose needed for draining during regeneration or cleaning cycles.

Is this the right size for you

This system suits homeowners wanting whole-house water treatment aimed specifically at reducing microplastics and trace organic contaminants. It fits typical family sizes and average water usage. If you have very low water demand or need treatment for other specific challenges, you might consider different sizing or additional equipment. We help confirm the right size and setup once you provide your water details and home size.

Living with it

Maintaining this system mainly involves replacing the filtration media at intervals determined by your water quality and usage—often yearly or as advised after testing. The bypass valve makes service straightforward without disrupting your water supply. Routine checks by your plumber keep the system running smoothly. Overall, it requires moderate upkeep but no daily effort from you.

What it won’t do

This system reduces microplastics and certain trace organics but does not treat issues like hardness (scale), iron or sulfur odors, bacterial contamination, or nitrate removal. If those are concerns, other specialized equipment will be necessary. It’s also not a standalone drinking water purifier for complete removal of all contaminants; pairing it with a reverse osmosis system is advised if you want very high-purity drinking water.
