WSP Whole House Nitrate Reduction System - Well Water

If your well water has nitrate levels that worry you, this system from Water Softener Plus (WSP) helps reduce nitrate and nitrite before it reaches your taps. It’s designed for whole-house protection, handling water from smaller to larger homes with several bathrooms.

The problem you’re facing

If your well water comes from an area near farms, it may contain nitrates and nitrites. These show up as clear, tasteless chemicals that are hard to spot but could be affecting your water. You might not see or smell anything unusual, but a test can reveal levels higher than you want. This is a common issue with wells tapping into groundwater influenced by fertilizers and manure.

Why it’s happening

Nitrates and nitrites are naturally occurring compounds but often come from nearby agriculture. Rain or irrigation washes fertilizers and animal waste into the soil, which then leaches into your groundwater. Testing your water for nitrate is the sure way to confirm if this is your problem. A lab test focused on nitrate and nitrite levels will give you a clear answer.

What it’s costing you to leave it

Nitrate in your water doesn’t cause stains or scale, but it’s a concern to manage. It can affect the taste of your water or beverages made with it. Over time, untreated nitrate means you’re not addressing a known issue in your water supply. It might limit how you use well water, especially if you have children or older family members who rely on it. Leaving it untreated means ongoing worry and the chance your water quality could fluctuate.

How this system fixes it

This system reduces nitrate by using a process called ion exchange. Inside the tank, special resin attracts and holds nitrate and nitrite ions from your water, swapping them for safer, less problematic ions. When the resin gets full, the system uses a metered control valve to regenerate, flushing the trapped nitrates down the drain and refreshing the resin to keep working efficiently.

What this system can handle

Designed for whole-house use, this system suits homes with one to six bathrooms, handling the water demand you’d expect from a family. It’s built to reduce nitrate and nitrite from well water consistently, even when levels fluctuate due to weather or farming activity nearby. The system regenerates only as needed based on your actual water use, so it doesn’t waste salt or water. It’s reliable for ongoing nitrate reduction without frequent service.

What you actually get

The system includes a specialty ion-exchange tank filled with nitrate-selective resin and a Fleck 5810 SXT metered control valve that manages water flow and regeneration. You also receive a bypass valve, so your plumber can isolate the system without cutting water off to your house during maintenance. Ten feet of discharge hose for the drain line comes with the package. The tank itself carries a lifetime warranty, while the valve and electronics follow the manufacturer’s terms.

Is this the right size for you?

This system fits households with up to six bathrooms who want whole-house nitrate reduction from well water. If your home is smaller or has only one or two bathrooms, you might consider a smaller model with less resin capacity and flow rate. Larger homes or those with very high nitrate levels may need a custom solution or multiple units sized by a water professional.

Living with it

Routine maintenance mainly involves checking salt levels for regeneration and occasional resin replacement down the line. The metered valve means it regenerates only when necessary, cutting waste and upkeep. Your local plumber handles installation and service, with parts readily available to keep it running for years. Expect to spend a few minutes every month checking the system but no complicated upkeep.

What it won’t do

This system reduces nitrate and nitrite but does not remove other common well-water issues like hardness, iron, sulfur smell, or bacteria. If you have those problems, you’ll need additional treatment systems designed for those specific contaminants. This is not a water softener or microbiological filter.
