WSP Whole House Uranium & Radium Reduction System - UR-WSPFLKURAN

A faint chemical smell when filling a glass, an unusual taste to your drinking water, or a stubborn discoloration in your sink might catch a guest’s attention before you even mention your well water concerns. These signs often point to uranium and radium dissolved in your water — invisible contaminants that can affect your home’s plumbing and everyday water use.

What’s Really Behind the Stains and Taste in Your Water

When you notice a slight metallic taste or see unusual residues in your water, it usually comes from naturally occurring elements like uranium and radium in well water. Unlike surface water, well water can carry these dissolved radionuclides from underground rocks. The presence of uranium or radium doesn't show in cloudiness or strong odors; instead, it reveals itself subtly through staining and taste changes. The best way to confirm if these are in your water is by a lab test that specifically measures radionuclide levels.

How the Control Head Works to Keep Your Water Flowing and Clean

This system uses a metered control head that measures exactly how much water you use. It triggers automatic backwash cycles to rinse and lift the filter media, keeping it effective without wasting water. You set the unit based on your water use and needs, so it regenerates only when necessary — saving you salt, water, and effort compared to timers or manual systems.

The Media Inside: Why a Two-Stage Treatment Fits This Problem

The treatment happens in two stages inside two separate tanks. First, the selective anion exchange resin targets uranium and radium, capturing these dissolved radionuclides before they reach your home's plumbing. Then the water passes through a cation exchange resin that softens the water by handling calcium and magnesium minerals — the usual cause of scale buildup. This combination is designed specifically to handle both radionuclide reduction and soften the water to protect your pipes and appliances.

The Tank Size and What It Means for Your Home’s Water

The system comes in three tank sizes, holding between one and two cubic feet of media depending on your household size. That means it has enough capacity to treat water for typical family homes with two to four people comfortably, or a larger home with up to seven occupants if you choose the bigger tank. The tanks’ size and media volume translate to a softening capacity ranging roughly from 32,000 to 64,000 grains — enough to keep your water clear of scale and reduce uranium and radium effectively between regenerations.

Who Should Choose This System, and Who Might Need a Different Size

This uranium and radium reduction system suits an average household with two to four people and about two bathrooms. The largest model handles bigger homes with up to seven residents and more bathrooms. If your household water use or plumbing size exceeds this range, or if you face unusually hard water or higher radionuclide levels, you may want to consider a larger system. Conversely, smaller homes or those with very low water use might find a smaller unit more efficient.

What You Get When You Order This System from Water Softener Plus

Included with your order is the complete treatment system ready to install: a lifetime warranty covers the tank pressure vessel. The control valve and electronics have the manufacturer’s own warranty terms. A bypass valve is included at no extra cost, letting you isolate the system during maintenance while keeping water flowing through your home. Also included is 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line. We ship from Tampa, Florida with free U.S. shipping already built into the price.

To get started reducing uranium, radium, and hardness in your well water without surprises, order your WSP Whole House Uranium & Radium Reduction System online today. Our team offers real sizing advice and support to make sure the system fits your home’s needs. Free shipping and a clear warranty give you confidence from the moment it arrives.

Who this size is right for

This is rated for roughly 8 gallons per minute of service flow, which suits an average family home - around 3-4 people with 2-3 bathrooms.

The number to match is peak simultaneous demand, not average use. Two showers and a dishwasher at once is the moment that finds an undersized unit, so size for that.
