WSP Whole House Algal Toxin Reduction System

That faint musty smell in the glass of water your guest just took a sip of isn’t what anyone wants to notice. Along with occasional stains in the sink that won’t scrub off, these subtle signs can point to algal toxins in your water supply — a seasonal nuisance for homes drawing from lakes or reservoirs.

When Toxins from Algae Become Visible Troubles

It might start with a peculiar aftertaste in your drinking water or that persistent dull film on bathroom fixtures. These are often the first signs of algal toxins, compounds released by algae blooms that grow in surface sources like lakes and reservoirs during warm months. The problem comes and goes through the year but can spike during bloom season, affecting your whole-house water supply.

The Control Head: Automating Treatment Cycles for Consistent Water Quality

At the heart of this system is an automatic control head that manages the treatment without you needing to intervene. It runs service cycles that pass water through the treatment media, then backwash and rinse cycles to refresh the system. This automation means you get ongoing protection without having to remember complex settings or manual steps — it keeps up with your water use and the media’s condition.

Adsorption Media: Capturing Algal Toxins Effectively

Inside the tank, the key player is the adsorption media. Unlike typical filters or softeners that target minerals or metals, this media captures dissolved organic compounds — the algal toxins themselves — by holding onto them as water flows through. This approach is specially suited to the problem because it doesn’t rely on softening or chemical oxidation, which aren’t effective against these toxins.

Tank and Capacity: Sized to Your Home’s Needs

The system comes with a pressure vessel designed to fit a typical single-family whole-house water supply. While the exact tank size is confirmed when we size your system, it’s built to handle seasonal variations in algal toxin levels, ensuring consistent treatment even when blooms peak. The vessel is sturdy, and we back it with a lifetime warranty for peace of mind.

Who This Treatment Fits Best

This system is made for homeowners whose water source includes surface water like lakes, ponds, or reservoirs, or wells influenced by those sources. It’s a good match for typical single-family homes that want to reduce algal toxins throughout their water supply. If your water doesn’t come from surface sources or you have a larger household with higher flow demands, you might want to discuss sizing or alternative options.

What’s Included and How to Order

The system includes the pressure tank covered by a lifetime warranty on the vessel itself. The control valve and electronics have their manufacturer’s warranty terms. A bypass valve comes standard, allowing you to isolate the system during service without shutting off water to your home — a feature often sold separately elsewhere. You also get 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line. We ship from Tampa with free U.S. shipping included.

You can order online today. We’ll help confirm the right size for your home based on your water source and flow needs. If you want to reduce the impact of algal toxins in your water reliably and with equipment built to last, this system is designed with that in mind.

Who this size is right for

Practically speaking, this is a whole-house system, plumbed into the main line so every tap in the house is treated. On a typical 1-inch service line that means 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.
