The WC200 is a residential water conditioner that takes your “hard water” and turns it into conditioned water that improves the lifespan of your appliances, plumbing, and even laundry. It also improves the taste of your water so you can stay hydrated without the poor taste. It features 2.0 cubic feet of resin volume and a metered control valve to maximize efficiency.
How It Turns "Hard Water" into Conditioned (Soft) Water
Hard water has high levels of dissolved calcium/magnesium, causing:
Scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, faucets, and appliances (reduces efficiency, increases energy bills, shortens lifespan).
Spots on dishes, dull laundry, poor soap lather, dry skin/hair.
Sometimes a slight off-taste from minerals.
The WC200 installs at your home's water entry point and treats all incoming water via ion exchange:
Water flows through a tank filled with resin beads that attract and bind hardness minerals, exchanging them for sodium ions.
Result: Soft, conditioned water flows to every faucet/shower.
Key Benefits Highlighted in the Description
Longer Lifespan for Appliances & Plumbing: No more scale buildup—water heaters can last longer and use less energy; dishwashers, washing machines, and pipes stay cleaner.
Better Laundry: Clothes come out softer, brighter, and cleaner with less detergent needed.
Improved Taste & Hydration: Removes mineral-related off-flavors, making tap water taste cleaner and more refreshing (though it doesn't add filtration for chlorine like dual-media models).
Overall Feel: Softer water on skin/hair, better sudsing with soaps/shampoos.
2.0 Cubic Feet of Resin Volume
This refers to 2 cubic feet (cu.ft.) of ion exchange resin in the main tank—the material that does the heavy lifting of removing minerals.
Capacity: Typically handles ~60,000–64,000 "grains" of hardness (a standard measure) before needing regeneration.
Ideal for larger households (4–7+ people), high water usage, or very hard water areas. (Compare: WC100 has 1 cu.ft. for smaller homes; WC150 has 1.5 cu.ft.)
Resin is durable, often lasting 10–20 years.
Metered Control Valve for Maximum Efficiency
The electronic "brain" (control valve) on top automates the system.
Metered means it monitors actual water flow/usage and only triggers regeneration (recharging the resin with salt brine) when the resin is nearly exhausted—based on your household's real consumption and water hardness settings.
Benefits:
Saves salt, water, and money (no unnecessary cycles, unlike timer-based valves).
Ensures consistent soft water without guesswork.
Regeneration uses salt from a separate brine tank; cycles are quiet and usually scheduled overnight.
Features and Benefits:
A fully ported electronic valve affords fully automated, metered functionality.
Accommodates any type of plumbing.
Robust ion exchange resin for years of service-free operation.
An innovative ceramic core control valve design for smooth, dependable operation.
Softened, iron free water from every faucet in your home.
Eliminates particulate such as sand, rust, and other sediment.
Metered demand controls to reduce operating costs.
Better tasting water, coffee, tea, and other beverages made from tap water.
Significant reduction of soap and cleaning products cost.
The Origins Water Conditioning Process
1. Unconditioned water passes through a bed of extremely small resin beads.
2. Undesirable minerals are drawn to the resin beads and attach to the surface.
3. Virtually all undesirable minerals are removed when the water reaches the bottom of the tank.
4. The conditioned water passes up through the riser tube and is distributed throughout the house.
5. Regenerant solution from the brine tank is used to recharge the resin beads.
