WSP Carbon Filter

The WSP Carbon Filter by Water Softener Plus is designed to help reduce the chlorine or chloramine taste and smell often found in city water. It improves the flavor and odor, making your water more pleasant for drinking, cooking, and bathing.

The problem you’re living with

If your tap water smells like a swimming pool or leaves a chemical taste in your coffee, you’re likely dealing with chlorine or chloramine from your water provider. This can make showering less enjoyable, and you might notice a persistent plastic or chemical scent in your ice cubes or when you fill a glass. The smell tends to linger on your hands or in the kitchen, and simply letting water sit out doesn’t always help. These odors and tastes can be faint but persistent enough to affect your daily comfort.

Why it’s happening

City water utilities often add chlorine or chloramine to disinfect water and keep it safe as it travels through pipes. These chemicals serve a purpose but can leave behind a noticeable taste and smell in your water. The presence of these disinfectants is usually confirmed by a simple water test that detects their levels. If you notice a smell or taste like bleach, that test will show chlorine or chloramine is present in your supply.

What it’s costing you to leave it

Living with chlorinated water means dealing with a persistent taste and odor that you can’t rinse off easily. It can affect your cooking, making coffee or tea taste off. Your skin and hair might feel dry or irritated after showering. Over time, these chemicals can also affect the lifespan of certain household appliances by accelerating wear on rubber seals and parts. While it’s not a health risk to most people, this ongoing inconvenience and minor appliance wear can add up.

How this system fixes it

The WSP Carbon Filter works by passing your water through activated carbon, a material with a huge surface area that attracts and holds onto chlorine and chloramine molecules. This process, called adsorption, effectively helps reduce those chemical tastes and smells, improving the water’s flavor and making it more comfortable for daily use.

What this system can handle

This carbon filter is designed for whole-house use, treating all the water coming into your home. It can handle typical levels of chlorine and chloramine found in city water supplies. The system includes a bypass valve so you can isolate it during maintenance without shutting off water to your house. It’s built to work steadily over time, reducing chlorine and chloramine effectively before the water reaches your taps, showers, and appliances.

What you actually get

With your WSP Carbon Filter purchase, you receive a pressure tank covered by a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term durability. The system includes a bypass valve at no extra cost, allowing you to keep water flowing while you service the filter. Also included is 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line, ready to connect to your plumber’s installation setup. The control valve and electronics carry the manufacturer’s own warranty terms.

Is this the right size for you

This filter is suitable for most average to larger households relying on city water with chlorine or chloramine treatment. If your water supply has unusually high levels of these chemicals or you have a very large home, you might need a larger system or multiple units. A smaller unit may not fully meet your water usage demands or provide adequate treatment, so sizing advice is available to help you choose what fits best.

Living with it

The WSP Carbon Filter requires periodic replacement of the carbon media to maintain performance, typically at intervals advised by your water usage and water quality. The bypass valve makes servicing easier by allowing continuous water flow to your home during filter changes. While some upkeep is necessary, the system operates without electricity and demands minimal attention beyond scheduled maintenance.

What it won’t do

This filter is focused on reducing chlorine and chloramine tastes and smells. It does not soften hard water or remove minerals like calcium and magnesium that cause scale. If your water has hardness issues or other contaminants such as iron or sediment, you’ll need additional or different equipment designed for those problems.
