WSP Whole House Carbon Filter - City Water

If your city water tastes or smells like chlorine or chloramine, this whole-house carbon filter from Water Softener Plus (WSP) helps reduce those odors and flavors throughout your home. It treats every tap, so your showers, coffee, and laundry no longer carry that chemical taste.

The problem you’re living with

You turn on the tap and notice that unmistakable chemical smell — like a swimming pool — in your water. Your coffee tastes off, your skin feels dry after a shower, or there’s a faint but persistent chlorine scent in the laundry. That’s often due to chlorine or chloramine added to city water to keep it disinfected. It’s common, but it makes water unpleasant.

Why it’s happening

City water utilities add chlorine or chloramine to kill bacteria. While necessary for safety, these chemicals don’t break down fully before the water reaches your home. The result is that you get water with a lingering taste and smell. A simple water test for chlorine or chloramine levels confirms this problem.

What it’s costing you to leave it

Leaving chlorine or chloramine in your water means every shower, wash, and drink carries that chemical taste and odor. You may find towels feel rough, skin dries out, and your coffee or tea doesn’t taste right. Over time, chlorine can also damage rubber seals and plumbing components, adding wear to your home’s water system.

How this system fixes it

This system uses a carbon filter to reduce chlorine and chloramine. Carbon works like a sponge, trapping the chemicals as water flows through. This process helps reduce those strong tastes and odors, improving water quality at every tap without changing anything else.

What this system can handle

Designed for typical city water supplies, this whole-house carbon filter treats the water entering your home, so every faucet, shower, and appliance gets filtered water. It’s suited for homes with 1 to 3 bathrooms and performs reliably under normal municipal water conditions. The system includes a sizable carbon tank and a control valve to manage the flow and regeneration, keeping the filter working efficiently before it needs servicing.

What you actually get

The system includes a carbon filter tank covered by a lifetime warranty on the tank itself, so the pressure vessel is protected for as long as you own the home. It comes with a bypass valve included, allowing you or your plumber to isolate the filter during maintenance without cutting off water to the entire house. You also receive 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line as part of the package.

Is this the right size for you

This filter fits most city water homes with up to three bathrooms. If your home has more bathrooms or unusually high water usage, you may need a larger system. Conversely, smaller homes with lower water flow might consider a smaller unit for simpler maintenance and lower upfront cost. We help you confirm the right size before you buy.

Living with it

Maintenance is straightforward but necessary. The carbon filter will need periodic regeneration or replacement of the carbon media to keep working well. This usually happens on a schedule tied to your water usage and water quality. Your plumber can handle this service. The included bypass valve lets you keep water running during this time.

What it won’t do

This carbon filter reduces chlorine and chloramine but does not soften hard water minerals like calcium or magnesium, nor does it remove sediment, heavy metals, or bacteria. For hardness, a water softener is needed; for sediment or other contaminants, additional filters or treatment systems would be necessary.
