WSP Control Valve - Timer

You’ll notice a smoother feel to your water within the first week after installing this control valve. Your softener or filter will run its cleaning and regeneration cycles exactly when needed, helping your system keep working efficiently without extra fuss or wasted water.

How your system stays fresh and ready with precise timing

Hard water systems need regular backwash and regeneration cycles to clear out the minerals they collect. This control valve uses a built-in mechanical timer to start those cycles on a set schedule. Instead of guessing when to flush the softener or filter media, the timer controls the process automatically and regularly. That means your system won’t overwork or get clogged, and you won’t have to manually trigger cleanings.

What the control head actually does for your system

The control head is the brain at the top of the softener or filter. It sets when and how the system backwashes—that is, rinses its media bed to remove trapped particles—and regenerates, restoring the media’s ability to treat your water. This unit uses a precision mechanical timer to automate these cycles, so the system runs on schedule without needing your intervention. It’s built with a high-flow valve assembly to handle large volumes of water smoothly, supporting high-demand setups.

The media inside: tackling hardness with cation exchange resin

Inside the tank you’ll find a bed of high-capacity cation exchange resin. This resin targets hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium, grabbing them out of your water to prevent scale buildup. The control valve’s timed cycles ensure the resin stays refreshed regularly, maintaining its effectiveness so your water softness stays consistent. While the resin is the treatment medium, the valve manages when it needs rinsing and regeneration.

The tank and capacity that match your system’s needs

The valve fits on a treatment vessel sized to match your water demand. We confirm the exact tank size and configuration when we size your system, so it’s the right match for your property and water conditions. This valve supports flow rates up to about 15,000 gallons per day through a two-inch porting, making it suitable for commercial or industrial process lines rather than typical household use.

Who should consider this control valve for their water treatment setup

This control valve is designed for larger-scale systems that need reliable, automatic timing to handle a high volume of water without manual control. It’s a good fit for commercial or industrial facilities running complex softening or filtration equipment. If your system is smaller, or you want more flexible programming options, a different control valve might better suit your needs.

Who this size is right for

At 15,000 gallons per day this is sized for a commercial or industrial process line.

The rated output assumes reasonable feed water and temperature. Colder or dirtier feed water lowers it, so choose a size above your true daily requirement.
