WSP Whole House Iron & Sulfur Filter - Rotten-Egg Odor

Moving into a new home, you notice the faint but persistent rotten-egg smell in your water. The first sign might be the orange-brown ring forming inside the toilet tank or stubborn rust stains on your sinks and tubs. This water carries iron and sulfur that’s causing those stains and that unmistakable odor.

The signs you’re living with iron and sulfur problems

That rusty orange scum on your fixtures or a reddish film on your clothes after laundry points to iron in your water. Alongside it, the rotten-egg smell—caused by hydrogen sulfide gas—makes showering or filling a glass of water unpleasant. These issues don’t just affect smells and surfaces. Soap doesn’t lather as well, and stains can build up where you least expect them, like on shower doors or inside your coffee maker. The smell can linger in the air of your bathroom or kitchen, reminding you every time you use water that it’s not quite right.

How the system’s control head manages cleaning and upkeep

At the top of this iron and sulfur filter sits an automatic control head that ensures the system stays clean and effective. It runs scheduled backwash cycles that lift and rinse the filter bed, flushing out trapped particles of iron and sulfur. This means your filter refreshes itself regularly without you having to remember to do anything. The automatic cycle saves water and makes sure the system works efficiently over time, with no chemicals to handle or mix.

The filter media that targets iron and sulfur together

Inside the tank, a specially designed oxidizing filter bed does the hard work. As water passes through, the filter changes dissolved iron and hydrogen sulfide into tiny solid particles. The media then traps these particles so they don’t reach your faucets. This approach treats both iron and sulfur simultaneously, simplifying the setup and avoiding the need for multiple separate devices. Because it relies on oxidation, it works without adding chemicals to your water.

A durable vessel sized for your whole house

The system’s tank is a robust pressure vessel built to last, protected by a lifetime warranty. We confirm the exact tank size based on your water supply needs when you order, ensuring it fits your home’s flow and usage. The tank holds the filter media and the control head, working as a complete unit to handle your household’s water—treating every drop before it reaches your taps.

Designed for a typical single-family home’s water system

This filter is made to suit most single-family homes, handling the water supply that serves all bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry. It is not a small point-of-use device but a whole-house system. If your home has unusually high iron or sulfur levels or a very large water flow, you might need a larger or different system; we can help confirm the right size for your situation.

What you get when you order this filter

The system comes complete with a lifetime warranty on the tank, giving you long-term peace of mind about its durability. A bypass valve is included at no extra cost, so your plumber can isolate the filter during service without interrupting your water supply. You also receive 10 feet of discharge hose to connect the backwash drain line. Free U.S. shipping is part of the package.
