WSP Whole House Chlorination System - Well Water, Total

If your well water smells like rotten eggs or leaves orange stains on fixtures, this system is designed to help reduce bacteria and treat heavy iron and sulfur problems. It combines oxidation and softening to improve your water’s feel and appearance throughout your home.

The Problem

You might notice a strong sulfur smell, like rotten eggs, when you turn on your taps. Orange or reddish stains appear on sinks, toilets, and laundry. Your water may taste metallic or look cloudy, and you could be dealing with bacteria in your well water that needs chemical disinfection. These issues mean your water isn’t just hard, but also carries contaminants affecting your daily use and household comfort.

Why It’s Happening

The smell and staining come from sulfur compounds and iron naturally present in many well water sources. These substances can combine with bacteria that thrive in untreated water. The iron and sulfur cause discoloration and odors, while the bacteria pose a challenge that simple filtration can’t fully handle. A test that shows elevated iron, sulfur, and bacterial counts confirms this condition.

What It’s Costing You to Leave It

Leaving these problems untreated leads to orange staining on plumbing fixtures and laundry that looks dingy. The sulfur odor makes everyday tasks unpleasant. Bacteria in your water can affect taste and promote buildup inside pipes and appliances, making them work harder and shortening their lifespan. You might also use more soap and cleaning products trying to fight residue and odors.

How This System Fixes It

This system works in two stages. First, it passes water through a catalytic oxidizing filter that uses oxygen to turn iron and sulfur into particles large enough to be filtered out. This process also helps reduce bacteria by exposing them to chlorine. Then, the softened water moves through the second stage, which removes hardness minerals using ion exchange—a process where calcium and magnesium ions are swapped for sodium ions, reducing scale buildup.

What This System Can Handle

This is a complete two-stage system designed specifically for well water with bacteria plus iron and sulfur levels high enough to need chemical disinfection. It treats iron and sulfur continuously across your entire water supply and softens hard water to protect pipes and appliances. You can select from three sizes depending on your household’s bath count: a smaller unit for 1–3 baths, mid-size for 4–6 baths, or the largest for 6+ baths. Both filter and softener regenerate automatically on their own schedules, keeping maintenance manageable and performance steady.

What You Actually Get

The system includes two fiberglass-reinforced plastic mineral tanks—one with catalytic oxidizing media to filter iron and sulfur, the other with high-capacity softening resin. Each tank uses a genuine Fleck automatic control valve to manage backwash and regeneration cycles without manual intervention. You also get a brine tank for the softener’s salt supply, the initial charge of salt-saver resin, bypass valves, necessary fittings, and detailed installation and service manuals.

Is This the Right Size for You?

This system fits homes with well water needing both chemical disinfection and heavy iron or sulfur treatment, combined with hard water issues. Choose the size based on the number of bathrooms and your water usage. If your household is smaller or your iron and sulfur levels are moderate, a smaller unit might suffice. For larger homes with high water demand, the largest size is a better match to maintain flow and service intervals without frequent regeneration.

Living With It

Maintenance involves adding salt to the brine tank periodically, typically every few weeks to months depending on use. The system’s automatic controls handle backwashing and regeneration without your input. Occasional cleaning and inspection by your plumber keep it running smoothly. The lifetime warranty on the filter’s tank means that critical parts are durable, while the control valve and electronics are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

What It Won’t Do

This system is designed for bacterial contamination tied to iron and sulfur in well water and for hardness removal. It does not remove other contaminants like nitrates, pesticides, or sediment beyond the iron and sulfur particles it oxidizes and filters. For those problems, additional or different water treatment would be needed.
