WSP Whole House Water Filter - City Water

Water passing through your taps can carry a mix of tastes, odors, and particles that affect everything from your coffee’s flavor to the clarity of your shower glass. The WSP Whole House Water Filter - City Water is designed to help reduce those issues for your entire home, making daily use more pleasant without complicating your plumbing setup.

Noticing a lingering chemical smell or strange taste in your water?

Your water might leave a noticeable odor when you fill a glass or cook with it, or it may leave a slight film on shower doors and fixtures. You might find yourself scrubbing sinks and faucets more often to clear away fine particles or discolored residue. These subtle issues can make simple household chores feel like extra work and affect how your water feels and tastes throughout your home.

How the control head manages your water flow and cleaning cycles

On top of the system sits a genuine 5600 SXT metered control valve that counts exactly how much water you use. When it senses that the media needs refreshing, it starts an automatic backwash cycle. This process lifts and rinses the media bed inside the tank to flush out trapped particles and restore filtering power, all without you needing to adjust settings or interrupt your water supply. The included bypass valve lets your plumber isolate the system for maintenance without shutting off your water to the entire house.

The media inside that targets taste, odor, and hardness

Inside the tank, a carefully chosen mix of media works together to improve your water. Catalytic activated carbon helps reduce chlorine, chloramine, and any sulfur odors like rotten eggs. Two types of cation exchange resin focus on calcium and magnesium hardness, which are the minerals that cause scaling on pipes and fixtures. This blend is designed to handle typical city water issues, ensuring better taste and clarity without frequent replacement.

Tank size and capacity that fits real household needs

The filter’s tank comes in a range of sizes—such as 10" x 54" or 12" x 52"—holding between 1 and 2 cubic feet of media. This size means it can treat enough water before needing to run a backwash cycle, maintaining steady performance without wasting water or salt. The system’s softening capacity ranges from about 32,000 to 64,000 grains, depending on model, so it can work efficiently over time without premature wear.

Who this system suits best in your home

This filter fits well with average family homes of two to four people with up to two bathrooms. Larger versions handle bigger households of five to seven people with three to four bathrooms. If you have fewer people or a single bathroom, a smaller system might suit your needs better. Conversely, very large homes or commercial settings should consider sizing up and confirming flow rates with your water test results.

What you get and how to proceed

Included in your purchase is the full system with a lifetime warranty on the pressure vessel tank, so you have long-term peace of mind about the key hardware. The metered control valve and electronics have their own manufacturer warranties. A bypass valve is included at no extra cost—allowing you to isolate the filter during maintenance—and 10 feet of discharge hose comes with the system for convenient drain line setup. You can order this system online with free shipping anywhere in the U.S. Once it arrives, just have your licensed plumber handle installation and enjoy better water quality throughout your home.

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.
