WSP Whole House Air Injection Iron Filter

You notice it first when a guest winces as they take a sip from the kitchen glass. That faint metallic taste, the faint but unmistakable rotten-egg smell lingering in the bathroom air, and those stubborn orange stains creeping around the sink and toilet bowl. It’s the kind of problem that never quite goes away, no matter how often you scrub.

The signs of iron and sulfur in your water

That orange or reddish-brown staining on your fixtures and laundry is caused by iron in your water. Alongside it, the rotten-egg smell comes from hydrogen sulfide gas. Both come from natural minerals often found in well water or certain municipal supplies. You might also see a dark staining on your plumbing or notice your water tastes metallic. The only way to be sure is a water test showing iron and hydrogen sulfide levels above normal.

How the control head keeps your filter working smoothly

At the top of this system sits a control head that does the thinking for you. It counts the actual water you use and decides when the filter needs to refresh itself. When it’s time, an automatic backwash cycle lifts and rinses the filter media to clear out trapped iron and sediments. This control head also draws in a pocket of air to oxidize iron and sulfur without needing chemicals. You can monitor and adjust settings easily from your phone, giving you control without hassle.

The media that targets iron, manganese, and sulfur

Inside the tank, the catalytic manganese-dioxide media is the key player. It’s specially designed to react with iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide in your water. Using air oxidation, the media changes these dissolved minerals into solid particles that the system then washes away. This method avoids harsh chemicals and keeps your water tasting fresh and clear.

The tank and what its size means for your water supply

Your filter comes with a pressure vessel built to last, covered by a lifetime warranty. We don’t list its exact size here because we confirm the best fit for your home during the ordering process. The tank holds enough media to handle typical whole-house water use, working quietly in the background to protect your plumbing, fixtures, and appliances.

Is this the right system for your home?

This air injection iron filter suits a typical single-family home with a whole-house water supply. It’s designed for households experiencing iron, manganese, and sulfur issues that cause staining and odors. If your water use is much higher or comes from a very large or commercial property, you might need a larger system, which we can help you size correctly.

What comes with your Water Softener Plus system

The system ships from Tampa with everything you need to get started, including a bypass valve so you can isolate the filter without shutting off water to your home during maintenance. You also get 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line. The tank itself is backed by a lifetime warranty, giving you peace of mind for years to come. The control head and electronics carry the manufacturer’s warranty according to their terms.

What to expect in daily use and maintenance

Once installed by your licensed plumber, this system runs mostly on its own. The control head manages backwash cycles automatically based on your water use, shaving down maintenance time and effort. You’ll only need to check settings or replace parts occasionally, and the simple design means parts remain available for years. The included bypass valve keeps water flowing smoothly even during maintenance.

What this system doesn’t address

This filter focuses on iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide removal by air oxidation. It does not soften water hardness, reduce chlorine, or filter out sediment or bacteria. For those issues, separate specialized systems would be needed. We’re happy to help you size and select the right combination for your water.
