WSP Whole House Iron & Sulfur Filter

Your water test shows iron and hydrogen sulfide at levels that stain sinks and toilets with orange rings and leave a rotten-egg smell in showers. These issues don’t just look and smell unpleasant—they make everyday tasks like cleaning and laundry more difficult.

Seeing Orange Stains and Smelling Sulfur? Here’s Why

When your water contains iron, it reacts with oxygen to form rust-colored particles that settle on surfaces. That’s the orange-brown staining you notice on toilets, faucets, and dishes. Hydrogen sulfide gas, which smells like rotten eggs, can come through your taps and linger in laundry and showers. A simple water test measuring iron and sulfur levels confirms these problems and points to their source. It’s usually groundwater or well water carrying these dissolved minerals and gases.

How the Control Head Manages Your Water Treatment

The system’s control head automates the cleaning of the filter’s media by initiating a backwash cycle. This lifts and rinses the bed to flush away trapped particles. It also uses an air-draw mechanism that pulls in an air pocket—this injects oxygen without chemicals, which helps oxidize iron and sulfur compounds so they can be filtered out effectively. You can set the system to run on a schedule that matches your household’s water use, saving water and salt compared to less sophisticated units.

Why This Media Works on Iron and Sulfur

Inside the tank is a catalytic manganese-dioxide media, a special filter material designed to attract and react with iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide. When oxygen is introduced by the air injection, these contaminants oxidize—they change form and become solid particles. The media traps these particles, preventing them from reaching your taps and causing staining or smells. This media is particularly well suited to tackle both the dissolved iron and the sulfur odors in your water.

The Tank and What Its Size Means in Practice

The system includes a durable pressure vessel that holds the media bed and manages water flow. While exact tank dimensions aren’t listed here, we confirm the size when we size the system for your water and household needs. The design supports up to about 10 gallons per minute flow rate, which handles water use comfortably in an average family home. The tank is built for long-term use and comes with a lifetime warranty on the vessel itself.

Who This System Is Designed For

This filter suits a typical family home with 3 to 4 people and 2 to 3 bathrooms. It is made to keep up with usual household water demands without slowing your flow. If your home is larger, or your water contains heavier contamination, you may want to consider a larger system. Conversely, smaller households or homes with less flow might find a smaller unit more economical and easier to maintain.

Who this size is right for

This is rated for roughly 10 gallons per minute of service flow, which suits an average family home - around 3-4 people with 2-3 bathrooms.

Flow rate matters more than tank size here: add up the fixtures that could realistically run at the same time and make sure this covers them. If you land close to the limit, go up rather than down.
