WSP Control Valve - Timer

This control valve manages the timing for your water softener or filter’s backwash and regeneration cycles. Designed for larger systems, it keeps your softener running smoothly by ensuring each cleaning stage happens at the right moment and flow rate.

The problem you're facing

If your water softener or filter isn’t cycling properly, you might see harder water slipping through or notice that your system runs too often or not enough. When the control valve doesn’t time the cleaning and regeneration steps right, your water treatment can lose effectiveness, leaving you with scale buildup, dingy laundry, or spots on glassware.

Why it’s happening

This happens because the control valve, which sets the schedule for when your softener or filter cleans itself, is off or worn out. It needs to trigger backwash and regeneration cycles at precise times to flush out trapped minerals or contaminants. A timer-based control valve uses a mechanical clock to keep these cycles on track, but over time, the parts can wear or the timing can drift, causing the system to miss its cleaning windows.

What it’s costing you to leave it

When the control valve doesn’t work right, your softener may clean too often, wasting water and salt, or fail to clean enough, letting scale build inside pipes and appliances. This wears down your water heater and faucet valves, makes cleaning tougher, and means you spend more on detergents and maintenance. Laundry may look dull, and fixtures might get stained more quickly.

How this system fixes it

This control valve uses a built-in mechanical timer to manage when your softener or filter runs each cycle. It turns the system’s water flow on and off at set intervals for backwashing and regeneration, keeping the treatment media fresh and effective. The timing ensures your system cleans itself thoroughly without needing you to keep track or adjust it constantly.

What this system can handle

Built for larger softeners and filtration systems, this valve handles higher water flow rates, suitable for commercial or sizable residential setups. It pairs with compatible control valves and accessories designed for heavy use, managing continuous water demands without losing accuracy in timing. This ensures your system can run efficiently even with busy households or facility needs.

What you actually get

The product is a 2-inch timer-based control valve designed for high flow softener systems. It integrates a reliable mechanical timeclock that controls the sequence and duration of your water softener’s regeneration cycles. The valve fits with a range of compatible commercial-style softener control valves and accessories to form a complete control assembly.

Is this the right size for you

This valve suits larger softener and filter systems that require higher flow rates and more precise timing control. If your system is smaller or residential-sized, a different control valve designed for lower flows might be more appropriate. Discuss your water usage and system size with the WSP team to be sure.

Living with it

Once installed by your plumber, the valve runs automatically, requiring minimal day-to-day attention. Periodically, you’ll want your plumber to inspect the timer and valve for wear or buildup to maintain accuracy. The mechanical parts are serviceable and made to last, so with basic upkeep, you can expect many years of reliable operation.

What it won’t do

This control valve handles timing and flow for softener or filter cycles but does not treat your water directly. It won’t remove contaminants, soften hard water, or fix taste and odor problems by itself. You’ll need a complete water treatment system installed and sized properly for those issues.
