WSP Control Valve (WSP-CV-3150-3)

Water Softener Plus offers the WSP Control Valve (WSP-CV-3150-3), a reliable control head designed to manage the backwash and regeneration cycles in your water softener or filter system. This valve helps maintain your water treatment system’s performance, protecting appliances and improving water quality throughout your home.

How Skin and Hair Feel After a Shower Is a Sign

You notice your skin feels dry or tight, and your hair lacks its usual softness after showering. Soap just doesn’t lather right, and rinsing leaves a slight film. These are signs your water treatment system may not be running its cleaning cycles properly, meaning the softener or filter isn’t refreshed as it should be. Over time, that affects how well your water feels and how clean it actually is.

The Control Head’s Role in Keeping Your System Working

The control valve on top of your water softener or filter controls when it cleans itself by backwashing and regenerating. It uses a 12-day timer to decide the schedule, making sure the media inside the tank – which does the actual treatment – gets rinsed and charged. This valve also switches water flow to bypass hard water during those cycles, so your home keeps running smoothly without interruption. You set the timer, and the valve handles the rest automatically.

What This Valve Works With Inside Your Tank

This control valve doesn’t have media inside itself. Instead, it manages the system that contains media like resin or filter materials. These media catch contaminants or soften hard water, but they need regular cleaning and regeneration to keep working well. The valve makes sure that happens by controlling water flow and timing, so your system performs consistently over time.

The Tank and Capacity Depend on Your Setup

The valve fits onto your existing treatment tank, which holds the media doing the work. Tanks vary in size depending on your household’s water needs — we confirm the right size when we size your system. The valve’s design suits residential systems and matches the tank and piping it’s installed with, ensuring proper flow and treatment cycles without guesswork.

Who Chooses This Control Valve

This model suits homeowners with residential water softeners or filters that need a reliable control head to manage cleaning cycles. It works well for typical home water flow and treatment demands. If your household has unusually high water use or a larger multi-tank setup, you might need a different valve size or configuration to keep up. We help you pick the right one based on your water use and system design.

Who this size is right for

Practically speaking, this 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.

Because no fixed capacity is published for this item, the honest answer is that your own figures decide it. Send us your peak flow in gallons per minute and a water test and we will check the sizing for you, at no charge, before you buy.
