WSP Whole House VOC Reduction System - Commercial

After a shower, your skin feels tight or your hair seems dull and lifeless. That faint chemical taste or smell in your water isn’t just unpleasant—it’s caused by volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, like solvents and fuel residues. The WSP Whole House VOC Reduction System - Commercial is designed to help reduce these contaminants across your entire home’s water supply.

When Your Shower Leaves You Feeling Less Than Refreshed

You might notice your skin drying out or your hair losing its natural shine after showering. Sometimes there’s a faint chemical odor lingering in the bathroom, or your tap water tastes off—not quite right for drinking or cooking. These are signs of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in your water. VOCs include substances like benzene, MTBE, TCE, and PCE—solvents and fuel-related chemicals that can seep into groundwater near industrial sites, dry cleaners, or gas stations. That film or unusual smell that you can’t scrub away is more than a nuisance; it’s evidence that your water carries these industrial chemicals through every faucet and showerhead in your home.

How the System Controls When and How It Cleans Itself

The heart of this system is its automatic backwashing control valve. It regularly lifts and rinses the carbon bed, clearing away trapped particles and preventing blockages. This backwash cycle runs on a schedule programmed specifically for your water supply, ensuring efficient cleaning without wasting water. Because it’s self-cleaning and automatic, you don’t have to monitor or adjust the system yourself—just set it and let it work quietly in the background.

The Carbon Media That Does the Heavy Lifting

Inside the tank, a deep bed of coconut-shell granular activated carbon works to capture VOCs as water passes through. This type of carbon is especially good at adsorbing chlorine, odors, and those stubborn organic solvents like benzene and TCE. Below the carbon is a graded gravel underbed that keeps water flowing evenly through the media, maximizing contact and treatment efficiency. The media is carefully chosen and sized to address these specific chemical contaminants rather than just filtering out sediment or softening hard water.

Tank Size and Capacity Built for Larger Households

The system comes with a pressure vessel measuring either 10 inches by 54 inches or 12 inches by 52 inches, holding 1.5 or 2 cubic feet of media. These sizes suit homes with five or more people and three to four bathrooms. It handles flow rates of 10 to 15 gallons per minute, ensuring your whole house is supplied without a drop in pressure. The control valve is designed to fit a standard 1-inch plumbing line, making it compatible with most home plumbing setups.

Who Should Choose This System—and Who Should Consider Other Options

This system is best for larger homes experiencing consistent VOC contamination and chemical tastes or smells in their water. If you have a smaller household or fewer bathrooms, a smaller unit might be more appropriate and cost-effective. Conversely, if your water contains contaminants beyond VOCs—such as heavy metals or iron—you might need a different or additional treatment system tailored to those specific issues.

What Comes With Your Purchase and How to Proceed

Your order includes the pressure vessel with a lifetime warranty on the tank itself, giving you long-term peace of mind. The automatic backwashing control valve and electronics come with the manufacturer’s standard warranty. A bypass valve is included at no extra cost, so you can isolate the system and continue running water during maintenance. You also receive 10 feet of discharge hose for the drain line to handle the backwash water properly. Shipping is free within the U.S. and included in the price.

Who this size is right for

This is rated for roughly 15 gallons per minute of service flow, which suits a large home - around 5 or more people with 3-4 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.
