WSP Whole House Chromium-6 Reduction System - Chromium- Removal

Within the first week of installing this system, you may notice a subtle but welcome difference—water that feels smoother and tastes cleaner, without the metallic edge that chromium-6 can add. Coffee, ice, and cooking water begin to taste more natural, and that persistent worry about invisible contaminants lessens.

Recognizing How Chromium-6 Affects Your Water Daily

Chromium-6 is a hidden troublemaker. It doesn’t change the color, smell, or clarity of your water, so it’s easy to overlook. Yet it may be present—and lingering—in your taps, quietly affecting the taste of your drinking water and the water you use for cooking. You won’t see it or smell it, but it can give water a subtle metallic taste or an unusual dryness on the tongue. Coffee brewed with this water might lack its usual richness, and ice cubes could taste “off.” Without treatment, chromium-6 stays in the water as you use it throughout your home, from showers to washing, unnoticed but persistent.

The Control Head: Automated Treatment Without Fuss

At the top of this system is an automatic control head that manages all the key cycles—service, backwash, and rinse—without your input. It uses a preset program to ensure the media inside stays effective, flushing the system as needed to keep your water flowing cleanly. You don’t have to reset it or run manual maintenance steps to keep it working properly. This automation helps you save time and ensures the treatment is consistent, preventing early wear on the media and maintaining steady chromium-6 reduction.

Specialized Media Designed Just for Chromium-6

The heart of the system is its specialized media, carefully selected for reducing chromium-6. This media works through a process called reduction and adsorption, where chromium-6 particles are chemically transformed and trapped within the media, removing them from your water. In some installations, reverse osmosis—a method that forces water through a fine membrane—is used alone or with media to improve chromium-6 reduction. The media and treatments are matched to your water test results to ensure the best performance for your home’s chromium-6 levels.

Robust Tank and Reliable Capacity for Your Whole House

The system’s tank is a sturdy pressure vessel designed to hold the media and handle your household’s water supply. While we confirm the exact size needed for your home during the sizing process, the tank is built to fit a typical single-family home’s whole-house water flow. It’s made to last, with a lifetime warranty on the tank itself, so you can count on it to keep working quietly and dependably for years.

Well Suited to Most Single-Family Homes

This system is designed for typical single-family homes that need whole-house chromium-6 reduction. It handles normal household water demand, supplying treated water to all your faucets and appliances without restricting flow. If you have a very large home, multiple bathrooms, or unusually high water usage, it’s best to check your flow rate and water test results to ensure the system is sized correctly. For smaller or less-demanding situations, a smaller or different system might be a better fit.

What Comes with Your System and How to Get Started

Your order includes the system tank with the specialized media inside, the automatic control head that manages the treatment cycles, and a bypass valve so you can isolate the system during maintenance while keeping water running to your home. You’ll also receive 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line. The system is backed by a lifetime warranty on the tank, with manufacturer warranties on the control valve and electronics. Shipping in the U.S. is free and included in your price. Once you order, you’ll receive support to confirm sizing and installation details to share with your licensed plumber, who will handle the installation at your home.

Who this size is right for

What you are buying here 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.
