WSP Softener Control Valve - Timer, 1-1/2"

You’ll notice softer water flowing through your home within the first week after this control valve is installed. That means less spotting on glass, smoother skin after showers, and appliances working more efficiently without mineral buildup slowing them down.

How Your Softener Gets Its Timing Right

This control valve is the part that runs your water softener’s cleaning cycle on a set schedule. Every so often, the system needs to flush out the hard minerals it’s trapped to keep working. The valve has a mechanical timer that decides when to start this cleaning, called regeneration. You set how often it happens, and the valve handles the rest automatically. With its 1-1/2" port size, it manages a high flow of water without holding things up.

The Media Keeps Hard Minerals in Check

Inside the softener tank, there’s a special resin that attracts and holds onto hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. This resin is made to handle a lot of water and softens it by swapping out these minerals for sodium or potassium. The control valve works with this resin to make sure it gets cleaned regularly so it keeps softening water effectively.

The Tank Holds It All Together

The valve fits onto a water softener tank sized for your home’s needs. We don’t list exact tank dimensions here because they vary, and we’ll confirm the right size when we size your system. The tank holds the resin and water while the valve directs the flow during regular use and cleaning cycles.

Built for Larger Homes and Light-Commercial Use

This valve is designed for big houses or places with many faucets and high water use. Its 1-1/2" ports let it handle plenty of water at once, so you don’t notice a drop in pressure when multiple outlets run. If your household uses water heavily or you have a light-commercial setup, this will fit well. For smaller homes with fewer bathrooms, something with smaller porting might be a better match.

Who this size is right for

With 1-1/2" porting, this head is rated to drive a system serving a light-commercial or large residential site - around high continuous demand with many outlets.

Choose the head by porting first and features second - a head that throttles the house is a poor bargain however good its programming. We will check the match if you send us the tank details.
