WSP Whole House Water Filter - Heavy Metals

If your water tastes off, smells strange, or leaves dark stains on fixtures and laundry, the WSP Whole House Water Filter - Heavy Metals is designed to help reduce those issues. This whole-house system works on your entire water supply to improve the taste, odor, and remove particles that cause discoloration.

The problem you’re facing

You might notice a metallic or chemical taste in your drinking water, or odd odors when you run the tap. Maybe your coffee tastes flat or your ice has a strange aftertaste. Around the house, you see dark stains forming on sinks, toilets, or bathtubs, and your laundry looks dull or grey after washing. These are signs that your water contains heavy metals and particulate matter affecting both water quality and your daily routine.

Why this happens

Heavy metals like lead, mercury, copper, and nickel can enter your water supply through old pipes, well water sources, or from minerals leaching at some stage before the water reaches your home. These metals and particles are suspended in the water, causing taste and odor issues, staining, and sometimes buildup inside appliances. A simple water test for metals will confirm if these contaminants are present in your supply.

What it costs you to leave it alone

When heavy metals and particles remain in your water, it can shorten the lifespan of your water heater and appliances by causing buildup inside. You’ll likely be using more soap and detergent to get laundry and dishes clean, and the stains they leave can worsen over time, becoming harder to remove. Over time, this means more cleaning, maintenance, and earlier replacement of home equipment.

How this system helps

This filter uses a combination of media inside a tank to reduce heavy metals and particles before they reach your taps. The key process here is oxidation and filtration—water passes through a mix of KDF-55, catalytic carbon, and garnet media that capture and hold metals, improving taste and odor while stopping staining. The system also backwashes itself, flushing away contaminants regularly so it keeps working consistently without you having to intervene.

What this system can handle

The WSP Whole House Water Filter - Heavy Metals is built to treat water throughout your entire home, sized for typical households with between one and six bathrooms. It can handle the kind of heavy metal and particulate contamination that causes staining and taste issues. The system is designed to work steadily, with an automated backwash cycle that keeps it clean and effective over time. Because it uses a proven platform with reliable components, it’s capable of handling typical household water volumes without frequent service interruptions.

What you actually get

This system includes a pressure tank with a lifetime warranty, so you know the main vessel is built to last. It comes with a Fleck 2510 SXT air-injection control valve that manages the backwash cycles automatically. You also receive a bypass valve included at no extra cost, which lets you isolate the system to keep water running to your home during maintenance. Plus, there’s 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line, all shipped free within the U.S.

Is this the right size for you?

This filter works best in homes with between one and six bathrooms, covering a range of household sizes and flow requirements. If you have fewer than three bathrooms and very low water usage, a smaller unit might be more efficient. For larger households or heavy water use, this system provides the capacity and backwash intervals to keep up with demand without compromising performance.

Living with it

You’ll need to check and maintain the system occasionally, mainly by inspecting the bypass valve and ensuring the drain hose is clear. The system backwashes automatically on a schedule to clean the filter media, so you won’t be involved in that process. Expect periodic service visits from your plumber for valve checks or media replacement if recommended. Overall, it’s a low-maintenance filter designed for continuous operation without needing daily attention.

What it won’t do

This system does not remove bacteria, viruses, or chemical pollutants beyond heavy metals and particulates. If you have concerns about biological contaminants or specific chemicals like pesticides or chlorides, you’ll need a different or additional treatment system aimed at those issues.
