WSP Whole House Backwashing Filter

Struggling with water that tastes off or leaves gritty sediment in your fixtures? The WSP Whole House Backwashing Filter tackles these issues by automatically cleaning its media bed, so it keeps filtering your water without you having to intervene constantly.

Have past filters clogged or stopped working too soon?

Many filters trap sediment or iron but don’t clean themselves. That means the filter bed gets clogged, and water flow drops or the system stops filtering properly. You end up scrubbing tanks, replacing filter media early, or dealing with inconsistent taste and odor. This WSP filter faces this problem directly. It uses a backwash cycle to lift and rinse the media bed, flushing out trapped particles and restoring its filtering ability without manual effort.

How the control valve keeps the filter self-cleaning

At the top is a 1" three-cycle backwash control valve. It runs automatically, reversing water flow to loosen and wash away sediment caught in the media. This automatic process means the filter bed stays clean and effective longer than a static filter bed would. You also get a built-in bypass valve, so your plumber can isolate the filter and keep water running to your home during maintenance or servicing—it’s included at no extra cost.

What’s inside the tank makes all the difference

Inside the 10" x 44" tank, a graded gravel underbed supports the filter media and ensures water flows evenly through it. This even flow is key to catching sediment and particles efficiently and preventing channeling, where water finds the easiest path and leaves some sediment unfiltered. Since this unit ships as a platform, you’ll select the media best suited to your specific problem, whether that’s sediment, iron, or taste and odor issues.

Tank size and daily capacity explained

This filter uses a 10" diameter, 44" tall tank, built to hold the media and gravel bed securely. It can handle about 15,000 gallons per day, with a 1" port size matching typical plumbing for commercial or industrial process lines. This capacity suits continuous water use where sediment and taste issues need constant attention without frequent media replacement or cleaning.

Who this filter is designed for

This system is best for commercial or industrial process lines where water volume is high and sediment or taste problems persist. It’s not sized for typical single-family homes or small residential water systems. If your household water needs are less demanding, or if you want a system for a typical home, a smaller or differently designed unit would be a better fit. Confirm your water flow rate and treatment needs before choosing.

What comes with the system

The package includes the pressure vessel tank backed by a lifetime warranty, assuring you of its durability over the years. Alongside the control valve with its automatic backwash feature, you get a built-in bypass valve to simplify servicing without shutting off water to your house. A 10-foot discharge hose for the drain line is also included, making installation by your plumber straightforward.
