Description
Just moved into a home and noticing hard water spots, soap scum, or uneven water flow? The WSP Control Valve - Electronic is the part that manages how your water softener or filter cleans itself, helping keep your water soft and your system running smoothly.
Meeting New Water Challenges Head On
It’s common to start noticing details once you live with new water: scale building up on faucets, a film on shower doors, or uneven water pressure when multiple taps run. These signs show how your system handles minerals and flow. Without the right control in place, the softener or filter might waste water and salt or cycle too often, leaving you with less than ideal results. This valve helps you get on top of those challenges from day one.
How the Control Valve Keeps Your System on Track
This electronic control valve acts as the brain of your water softener or filter system. It uses a digital display and user-friendly controls to manage when the system backwashes (flushes out collected particles) and regenerates (replaces the softening media). Its advanced programming helps avoid wasted resources by timing these cycles accurately based on your water use, so the system runs efficiently without constant attention from you.
The Softening Media It Supports
Inside the tank paired with this control valve is high-capacity cation exchange resin. This resin targets hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium, which cause scale buildup. By exchanging these minerals with sodium or potassium ions, the resin softens your water. The control valve’s role is to ensure this resin is cleaned and recharged at just the right time, keeping your water soft without overusing salt or water.
Designed to Fit Standard Softer Tanks
This control valve fits tanks of the L and DLFC type, which are common sizes for residential water softening systems. The size and capacity of your overall system depend on the tank it attaches to, but this valve is made to handle typical home water demands, maintaining steady flow and efficient regeneration cycles.
Who Should Choose This Control Valve
This valve suits homeowners with a residential softening or filtering system using compatible tanks. It’s ideal if you want more consistent water flow and better cycle management without complications. If your system is unusually large or very small, you may need a different valve sized accordingly, but this one covers most typical single-family home setups.

Who this size is right for
What you are buying here is a control head, so the size it suits is set by the tank it sits on and the service flow the house needs, not by the head itself. On standard residential porting that is a single-family home.
There is no published capacity figure for this item, so we size it from your water rather than from a table. Send your peak flow rate and a water test and we will confirm what you need - it costs nothing and it avoids buying twice.
