WSP Whole House Water Filter - Heavy Metals Whole-House

Wondering how your water might taste and feel differently within the first week of using a new filter? The WSP Whole House Water Filter - Heavy Metals helps reduce unpleasant tastes, smells, and visible particles throughout your entire home’s water supply, making everyday water use more pleasant right away.

What You’re Dealing With Every Day

Maybe you’ve noticed a metallic aftertaste in your coffee or a faint chemical smell when filling a glass. You might see tiny particles settling at the bottom of a clear cup or an odd film on shower doors that regular cleaning won’t fully remove. These are signs that your water contains dissolved metals, chlorine, or sediment affecting its taste and appearance. It’s not just about drinking water; these issues affect your whole house, from washing dishes to bathing and laundry.

How the Control Head Keeps Your Filter Working Smoothly

At the top of this system sits a metered control valve, which keeps track of how much water your household uses. This lets the filter know when to run an automatic backwash—a cleaning cycle that flushes out captured materials and refreshes the filtering media. You set this system once, then it works quietly by itself, reducing maintenance and helping the filter last longer without you having to think about it.

The Media Inside That Does the Hard Work

The tank is packed with three kinds of media layers designed to handle different water issues. KDF redox media targets heavy metals like lead, mercury, copper, and nickel, preventing them from passing through. Catalytic activated carbon helps reduce chloramine, chlorine, and hydrogen sulfide — the latter often responsible for foul odors. Granular activated carbon focuses on removing chlorine and improving taste and smell. Together, this combination addresses a wide range of common contaminants that affect your water’s quality.

Tank Size and What That Means for Your Home

The filter comes in a 12-inch diameter by 48-inch tall tank, large enough to handle about 8 gallons per minute of flow. This means it’s capable of treating the full supply to an average home, with 3 to 4 people and 2 to 3 bathrooms, without restricting water pressure or flow during daily use.

Who This System Is Designed For

This whole house filter fits well for families of average size who want to improve taste, odor, and reduce visible particles and heavy metals throughout their water supply. If your household is larger, has higher water use, or multiple bathrooms beyond this, you may want to consider a larger system to ensure consistent treatment and flow. Smaller homes with low water usage might find this system larger than necessary and could explore a smaller option instead.

What Comes With the System and What to Expect Next

The WSP Whole House Water Filter includes a lifetime warranty on the tank itself, so the pressure vessel is covered for as long as you own your home. The control valve and electronic parts carry the manufacturer’s own warranty terms. A bypass valve is included at no extra cost, letting you isolate the system while keeping water flowing to your house during routine maintenance. The package also includes 10 feet of discharge hose for draining during backwash cycles. Shipping anywhere in the U.S. is free and already included in the price.

Ordering is straightforward: choose your size based on your household needs and place your order online. If you’re unsure about sizing or whether this is the right fit for your water issues, Water Softener Plus offers free expert sizing help—just give them a call. Once installed by your licensed plumber, you’ll notice the difference in your water right away.

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.

Check this against your peak demand rather than your daily total. A unit that is marginal on flow will drop pressure at exactly the times you notice it most.
