WSP 6 GPM Whole House Sulfate Reduction System

You spend time scrubbing the shower door, toilet tank, and sinks, only to see the stubborn stains return quickly. Bitter or medicinal tastes in your drinking water make coffee and cooking less enjoyable, and sometimes the water seems to have a laxative effect. This is often due to high sulfate levels in your water supply.

What You’re Dealing With Every Day

The telltale sign is the taste and feel of your water. That bitter or medicinal flavor can linger in drinks and meals. You notice a film building up on glassware and bathroom surfaces that regular cleaning just can’t keep away. The toilet tanks may develop an orange or off-color ring despite frequent scrubbing. These are all signs that your water contains elevated sulfate levels, which standard water softeners usually don’t address.

How the Control Head Keeps Things Running Smoothly

The system’s automatic control head manages the treatment cycles for you, including service, backwash, and rinsing. It uses a salt-regenerated process familiar to anyone who’s owned a water softener before. When the media reaches its capacity for sulfate, the control head triggers regeneration, flushing the system with a salt brine solution to restore its ability to reduce sulfate. This automation means you don’t have to remember when to start these cycles, and it keeps the system working efficiently without your intervention.

The Media Inside That Handles Sulfate Directly

The heart of this system is its specially selected media. It combines a high-capacity cation exchange resin—normally used to target hardness—with a selective anion exchange resin designed specifically to reduce sulfate. This sulfate-selective resin pulls sulfate ions out of your water preferentially, helping reduce the bitter taste and other effects caused by elevated sulfate. This focused approach means the rest of your water’s balance isn’t disrupted, unlike broader treatments that affect multiple minerals.

The Tank and What Capacity It Brings

The system uses a durable pressure vessel to hold the media and water during treatment. While the exact tank size is confirmed when we size your system, it is built to handle a flow of about six gallons per minute. That means it’s capable of treating the water supply to your whole home at a rate sufficient for typical daily use without slowing down household activities like showering or running appliances.

Who This System Is Designed For

This sulfate reduction system is well suited to small homes with one to two people and one to two bathrooms. It fits households where sulfate is the primary water concern rather than general hardness or other issues. If you have a larger family or more bathrooms, you might consider a bigger capacity system to match higher water demands. Conversely, if your water use is very light or your sulfate levels are only slightly elevated, a smaller, simpler treatment may suffice.

What Comes with the System and How to Get Started

Included with your system is a lifetime warranty on the tank’s pressure vessel, giving you long-term assurance. The control valve and electronics carry the manufacturer’s standard warranty. A bypass valve is part of the package, allowing you to isolate the system for maintenance without shutting off water to your home—something many competitors sell separately. You’ll also get 10 feet of discharge hose to connect to your drain line.

Who this size is right for

This is rated for roughly 6 gallons per minute of service flow, which suits a small home - around 1-2 people with 1-2 bathrooms.

Work out what runs together on a bad morning and size for that figure. Equipment starved of flow does not just run slowly, it stops treating properly.
