WSP Whole House Carbon Filter - 10x44"

Your dishwasher quit after just a couple of years, and the coffee maker leaves a chemical aftertaste. The culprit is often the chlorine or chloramine in city water, which can damage appliances and spoil the taste of everything you cook or drink. This is a common frustration in homes relying on municipal water supplies.

What’s Making Your Water Taste and Smell Off

City water providers add chlorine or chloramine—a mix of chlorine and ammonia—to disinfect the water and keep it safe as it travels through pipes. While this is effective for public health, it can leave a noticeable smell and taste in your tap water, like a faint bleach or chemical note. You might notice it particularly in hot drinks, ice cubes, or when filling your fish tank. It doesn’t just affect taste; it can also leave residues that coat your appliances over time.

How the Control Head Keeps Your Filter Working Efficiently

On top of the filter tank sits a control valve that manages the cleaning cycle automatically. It runs a backwash process that lifts and rinses the carbon bed inside the tank. This backwash flushes out trapped particles and refreshes the media, keeping the filter effective longer and saving you from frequent maintenance. The bypass valve included lets you isolate the filter easily during service without cutting off water to your whole house.

Why Granular Activated Carbon is the Right Choice Here

Inside the tank, premium-grade coconut shell carbon works to capture chlorine, chloramine, and chemical tastes and odors. This granular activated carbon is specially sized to maximize contact time with water, allowing it to reduce these unwanted elements effectively. Coconut shell carbon is also known for its durability and efficiency, meaning it keeps working well over many use cycles before needing replacement.

The Tank Size Means You Get Steady Flow for a Large Home

This system uses a 10-inch by 44-inch tank designed to handle flows up to about 12 gallons per minute. That’s enough to supply most large homes with 3 or 4 bathrooms and five or more people living there, without water pressure dropping off. The tank is built to last and comes with a lifetime warranty on the pressure vessel, so you can count on it to keep serving your household for years.

Is This Filter the Right Match for Your Household?

This whole house carbon filter suits large families or homes with high water use. It’s built for those who want to consistently reduce chlorine and chemical tastes throughout every faucet and appliance. If your home is smaller or has fewer bathrooms, a smaller system might be more cost-efficient. Conversely, very large homes or properties with unusual water demands might need a custom setup that we can help size.

What Comes with the System and How to Proceed

Along with the tank and control head, your purchase includes a bypass valve to isolate the system for easy servicing and 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line. The tank itself carries a lifetime warranty, and the control valve has the manufacturer’s warranty. Water Softener Plus ships all orders from Tampa with free U.S. shipping included. You can order this system online with confidence and rely on expert sizing advice from our team if needed.

Who this size is right for

This is rated for roughly 12 gallons per minute of service flow, which suits a large home - around 5 or more people with 3-4 bathrooms.

Work out what runs together on a bad morning and size for that figure. Equipment starved of flow does not just run slowly, it stops treating properly.
