WSP Control Valve - Drop Home Protection

Wondering what controls your water softener or filter’s cleaning cycles? The WSP Control Valve - Drop Home Protection is the valve that manages when your system backwashes or regenerates, keeping everything running smoothly without you needing to think about it.

How your water system manages cleaning cycles without hassle

You might notice your water softener or filter runs through cycles that flush and recharge its media—this is called backwashing and regeneration. These cycles keep your system working properly by clearing out trapped minerals or particles. Without a reliable control valve managing this process, your softener or filter could stop working effectively or waste water. The valve decides when to trigger these cycles based on your water usage, so your system stays ready to treat water whenever you need it.

The valve that takes control to prevent damage and contamination

This control valve does more than just turn cycles on and off. It prevents water from flowing backward into your clean water supply, which keeps contaminants from sneaking back into your system. It also automatically closes if it senses a drop in water pressure, protecting your home’s plumbing from damage or contamination caused by negative pressure events. Its precision sealing components ensure a tight, reliable fit every time, helping your system operate safely and efficiently.

What this valve does inside your water system

The control valve sits atop the treatment tank, overseeing the flow of water through the media inside. While this product doesn’t include any media itself—that’s part of the softener or filter tank—it’s the part that directs when and how water is flushed through that media. It keeps the cleaning cycles timed right and ensures the treated water flows in the correct direction without risk of backflow. The exact size of the tank it fits depends on your water setup, which we confirm when sizing your system.

The tank and flow it suits in your home

This valve is designed to work in residential water treatment systems and fits tanks sized to your household’s water use. Because it’s matched to the tank and plumbing it serves, it can handle the water demands of a typical home without extra fuss. The control valve’s reliable sealing and pressure-sensing features help it perform consistently, regardless of varying water pressures common in home plumbing.

Is this the right valve for your system?

This control valve is the right choice if you want a dependable way to manage your water softener or filter’s cleaning cycles without extra controls or complications. It suits most residential setups but should be matched carefully with your tank size and flow demands. If your home has unusually high water use or a commercial-scale system, you might need a larger or differently specified valve—feel free to call us for guidance.

Who this size is right for

This is a control head, so the size it suits is set by the tank it sits on and the service flow the house needs, not by the head itself. On standard residential porting that is a single-family home.

There is no published capacity figure for this item, so we size it from your water rather than from a table. Send your peak flow rate and a water test and we will confirm what you need - it costs nothing and it avoids buying twice.
