WSP Whole House Chlorination System - Complete, Well Water

If your well water has bacteria, heavy iron staining, or that rotten egg smell from sulfur, this complete chlorination system helps reduce those issues through chemical disinfection and oxidation. It works with other steps to improve your whole house water quality.

The Problem

You may notice orange or reddish stains around sinks and toilets, a sulfur smell like rotten eggs when you run hot water, or water that tastes metallic or off. These are common signs of bacteria and heavy iron or sulfur in well water. They can make cleaning harder and affect your water’s appearance and smell.

Why It’s Happening

Bacteria can grow in well water, especially if the well is shallow or near surface contamination. Iron and sulfur come from minerals naturally present underground. When iron is exposed to air, it turns rusty and leaves stains. Sulfur bacteria produce hydrogen sulfide gas, causing the rotten egg smell. Testing your water for iron content, sulfur levels, and bacterial contamination confirms if these are your issues.

What It’s Costing You To Leave It

Iron and sulfur buildup can shorten the life of your water heater and appliances by causing scale and corrosion. It also means you use more soap and cleaning products to remove stains and odors. The bacteria might not be harmful in small amounts, but they can cause slime buildup that clogs pipes and raises maintenance time and costs.

How This System Fixes It

This system uses a process called chlorination, where a measured amount of chlorine is injected into your water. Chlorine disinfects by killing bacteria and oxidizes iron and sulfur, turning them into particles that can be filtered out. The treated water then passes through media that removes these particles and reduces the chlorine taste and smell before it reaches your taps.

What This System Can Handle

This complete system is designed for well water with significant bacteria and heavy iron or sulfur problems. It combines chemical dosing, a retention tank to let chlorine work, filtration to remove byproducts, pH correction to neutralize acidity, a water softener to reduce hardness, and a UV sterilizer for added bacterial control. It’s built to treat a full household’s water supply, supporting typical flow rates for family homes. It handles multiple problems at once, making it a full well water treatment solution rather than a single fix.

What You Actually Get

This system includes a Stenner 17 gallons-per-day chemical feed pump powered at 110V for precise chlorine dosing, a Water Softener Plus retention tank to hold water while chlorine works, a whole-house carbon filter to reduce chlorine taste and odors, a pH correction filter with a backwashing media bed to balance acidity, a Fleck 5600SXT 48,000 grain water softener to remove hardness, and a Viqua VH200 UV water sterilizer that treats up to 9 gallons per minute for extra bacteria and virus control. There is also a Nelsen Classic Reverse Osmosis system under the sink for purified drinking water. The pressure vessel tank comes with a lifetime warranty.

Is This The Right Size For You

This system suits homeowners with well water facing heavy iron or sulfur and bacterial contamination, needing a complete treatment for the whole house. If your water problems are mild, or you only want to soften water without disinfection, a smaller, simpler unit may fit better. For larger properties or commercial use, sizing up and customizing will be necessary. The team will confirm the right configuration based on your water test results and household water use.

Living With It

Maintenance involves periodic checks of the chemical dosing pump, replacing media filters as needed, and softener resin regeneration using salt. The system’s components are serviceable and parts remain available, but expect some seasonal upkeep especially where iron and sulfur levels are high. Regular water testing helps keep the system tuned and effective over time.

What It Won’t Do

This system does not remove sediment or suspended solids before chlorination; if you have sediment issues, a pre-filter is needed separately. It also is not designed to reduce naturally occurring fluoride or nitrate. For those concerns, other specialized treatments are required. It helps reduce bacterial contamination but is not a substitute for well disinfection protocols required by health authorities.
