WSP Whole House Water Filter - City Water

This whole house water filter from Water Softener Plus (WSP) helps improve the taste, odor, and clarity of your city water throughout your home. It’s designed to reduce the common issues that affect your water quality without adding complexity or hidden costs.

The problem you’re facing

Maybe you notice your tap water smells a bit like a swimming pool or tastes harsh and chemical. Your coffee might not taste right, or you see a faint film on your shower glass and sinks. There could be tiny particles floating in the water or settling in the bottom of your glass. These are signs your city water has chlorine, chloramine, or other substances that affect its quality and your everyday comfort.

Why it’s happening

City water providers add chlorine or chloramine to keep the water disinfected as it travels through pipes. While that keeps bacteria down, it can leave behind a chemical taste and odor. Particles can also come from old pipes or sediment in the supply. A straightforward test is to let a glass of water sit in the fridge overnight—if you see a film or sediment, or detect a chlorine smell, that confirms the source of these issues.

What it’s costing you to leave it alone

Living with these water quality issues means you’re constantly cleaning surfaces to remove film and spotting, and you might be using more soap or detergent to get the same results in laundry and dishes. The unpleasant taste and smell can make simple drinks less enjoyable. Over time, that chlorine can also degrade your plumbing fixtures and appliances, though this system does not address corrosion directly.

How this system fixes it

This filter works in two stages. First, it passes your water through a bed of catalytic activated carbon. This carbon acts like a sponge that helps reduce chlorine, chloramine, and the chemicals that cause taste and odor problems. The water then flows into a water softener stage that reduces hardness minerals, helping protect your pipes and appliances from scale build-up. Both stages are controlled automatically so they clean themselves with no extra work from you.

What this system can handle

This two-stage system is built to treat typical city water problems. It reduces chlorine and chloramine and improves taste and odor while also softening water to reduce scale. It’s sized to match your home’s needs, handling flows for anything from a small two-bath home up to larger households with six or more bathrooms. The system automatically backwashes and regenerates when needed, keeping the media fresh. For homes with typical city water issues and moderate hardness, it provides thorough, reliable treatment without frequent maintenance.

What you actually get

The system includes two fiberglass-reinforced plastic tanks: one with catalytic carbon for filtering and one with softening resin. It comes with genuine Fleck automatic control valves for each stage, which handle cleaning and regeneration automatically. A brine tank and an initial supply of salt-saver resin are also included for the softening stage. You get a bypass valve included, so your plumber can isolate the system during maintenance without shutting off your water. There’s also 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line. The pressure tank has a lifetime warranty, and the control valves carry the manufacturer’s standard warranty.

Is this the right size for you?

This system comes in different sizes based on the number of bathrooms and your water flow needs: from 32,000 grains for smaller households (1 to 3 bathrooms) up to 64,000 grains for larger homes (6 or more bathrooms). If you have very high water demands or unusual water chemistry, you might need a custom size or specialized treatment beyond this system’s scope. Sending a water test or describing your water issues helps confirm the right size and setup.

Living with it

Once installed, the system runs on its own. It will backwash and regenerate automatically, usually every 1 to 2 weeks depending on your water use and hardness levels. You’ll need to add salt to the brine tank occasionally, roughly every few months, depending on how much water your household uses. The included bypass valve lets your plumber service the system without interrupting your water supply. Annual checks by your plumber will help keep everything running smoothly.

What it won’t do

This system is not designed to remove iron or manganese, nor does it address bacterial contamination or dissolved solids like nitrates. If your water has those problems, you may need additional treatment such as iron filters, UV disinfection, or reverse osmosis. It also doesn’t fix water pressure issues or soften water without hardness minerals present.
