We also sell the identical softener with the standard IPW WS1 valve for about $150 less, and most customers ask which to buy. The two valves are the same platform — same control board, same metering, same programming, same seals, piston and injector design, same tank, resin and brine tank. The WS 1.25 has larger ports and internal passages, which raises the valve's own flow ceiling and lowers its pressure drop at any given flow. That is the entire difference, and for most homes it does not change what comes out of the tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInlet \/ outlet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWS1: 1\" · WS 1.25: 1-1\/4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValve service flow (15 psi drop)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWS1: 27 GPM · WS 1.25: 34 GPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValve pressure drop at 10 GPM (approx.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWS1: ~1.8 psi · WS 1.25: ~1.3 psi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValve pressure drop at 15 GPM (approx.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWS1: ~4 psi · WS 1.25: ~3 psi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValve pressure drop at 20 GPM (approx.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWS1: ~7 psi · WS 1.25: ~5 psi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhat actually limits flow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe resin bed: a 1.0–2.0 cu ft bed comfortably delivers 7–15 GPM, well under either valve's ceiling.

Choose the WS 1.25 over the standard WS1 when the home has 1-1\/4\" supply plumbing, 5+ bathrooms, or a high-flow main — see the comparison above. On chlorinated or chloraminated city water, a carbon filter ahead of the softener protects the resin and roughly doubles its service life. This system removes hardness (calcium and magnesium) and small amounts of clear-water iron; it does not remove chlorine, sediment, bacteria or dissolved solids — pair it with carbon, sediment, UV or reverse osmosis as needed.
