Prefiltration Options

Magna Filter - We recommend a Magna 5-Micro Pre-filter for every Matrixx Water Softener. This is the only filter on that market that uses patented Posi-Seal technology to ensure 100% filtration with zero bypass. Prefilters are the best insurance for prolonging the life of both your water softener and household appliances. Best of all, it's 100% Made in the USA!

Stage 2 Inside is another layer of pleated material manufactured with a Zeta potential of 51 millivolts. Contaminants, like Chromium 6, lead, bacteria, virus, cysts, and heavy metals are actually "magnetically" removed from the water supply and "secured" in the Charged Sub-Micron Filter. It has passed testing for NSF/ANSI Standard 42 and 61 for potable water and USP Class VI testing and endotoxin testing. Next, the water enters the Bodyguard tank which also has two types of filtration:

Prolonged Contact Coconut Shell Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) removes or reduces chemical contaminants like Chlorine, Pesticides, THM, TCE, PCB, pharmaceuticals, herbicides, VOCs, industrial solvents, and hundreds of other contaminants.

Prolonged Contact Coconut Shell CATALYTIC Granular Activated Carbon (CGAC) also removes the above contaminants, as well as chloramine which cannot be removed with GAC carbon alone. Many cities are using chloramine and if your city doesn't, it likely will because it is cheaper.

Interceptor Filter – The Interceptor uses the same Double O-Ring Technology to assure 100% filtration with no "by-pass". It has a 5-micron outer wrap, but inside the filter is another layer of pleated material manufactured of Nano Fibers that have a Zeta potential of 51 millivolts. Many contaminants are actually "magnetically" removed from the water supply and "secured" in the Charged Filter. This is a sub-micron filter that has the ability to remove the following:

• Sand

• Silt

• Sediment

• Chromium 6

• Bacteria

• Cysts

• Lead

• Turbidity

… and many other contaminants

How Long Do The Filters Last?

The Interceptor Filter is engineered to be changed once a year. In extreme cases, it may last less than that depending upon your contaminant level. The carbon in the BodyGuard Filter can last several hundred thousand gallons to several million gallons. It all depends upon the level of contaminants. Some companies say theirs will last 12 years or millions of gallons. We recommend changing it every 5 years.

Great product

"Easy product from Purchasing to installation. Everything is clear and well thought out the filter works beautifully and the water is just that much sweeter now. #MVfiltration mvfiltration. com"

Caleb W. (5/5)

Great Filter System

"This filter system was what we were looking for. Arrived quickly and install was a breeze! Our water quality is alread better!"

Charles Z. (5/5)

US Water - great experience

"I had a professional plumber install my systems (Bodyguard Plus and sediment filter, Pulsar UV) on December 17th. So far so good! I appreciate US Water recommendations after I shared my water test with them. They were helpful, courteous, fast, and knowledgeable. Water test post-install is forthcoming. I am confident my issues will clear. I'll try to find a way to update this review or add one. Thanks."

John C. (5/5)

The Bodyguard Plus seems well

"The Bodyguard Plus seems well designed and well built. The written instructions are good, but could be better. The video set up was very helpful. Tech support was also very helpful during the installation process. I'm dealing with a strange contamination issue with my well water that extensive lab testing has not identified. The Bodyguard Plus was recommended as a pre-treatment for a Whole House Defender System. Unfortunately, using the Bodyguard Plus alone did not improve my water quality. Theoretically, I was told it would make a difference, but in practicality, it has not."

Lumini M. (3/5)

Clean Water Now

"No more strong chlorine smell and it's nice to have clean water thru out the whole house, with great tasting water."

Tim J. (5/5)

I can't rate the filter

"I can't rate the filter yet because plumbers here was more money to install it than the damn thing costs! US Water will offer ZERO help with the install. The install cost was shocking given that my water line is in the garage and has wide open accessibility. This is a disclosure that these people should make to customers, or they need to align with plumbers to do the installs. Had I known the "true" cost of this project, I never would have both this paperweight."

Stephen S. (2/5)

Cheap chrome looking cover popped

"Cheap chrome looking cover popped apart or wasn’t glued together and was a real pain to get back together. Instructions aren’t great."

Trever N. (3/5)

Seems like it does what it says.

"Too soon to really tell. Seems to do what you'd expect. Easy to set up. Post filter water test turned out well."

"“Buy a filter of be a filter”. - PEACE OF MIND."

My hair frizz is GONE!

"The water taste great and I no longer smell chlorine/chloramine when I shower. My skin is no longer dry requiring heavy lotions. My hair is so soft and healthy. This was the best investment for our family home."

Q&A

Does this remove flouride?
No, the Bodyguard Plus is not designed to remove fluoride. It is primarily used for chemical filtration such as chlorine, chloramine, taste, odor, VOCs, and similar contaminants depending on the application. For fluoride reduction, we would typically recommend a reverse osmosis system for drinking water. If the goal is whole-house fluoride reduction, you could add a system like the Matrixx Smart Whole House Backwashing Fluoride Filter.
Is 120vac power required for the Bodyguard system? Is so, where do you suggest locating the receptacle? Also, is it permissible to drain to ground or will connection to sewer be required?
Yes, the Bodyguard Plus system does require power. A standard 120V receptacle should be located within about 6 feet of the control valve, since the system uses a plug-in transformer. For the drain, we recommend connecting the backwash drain line to an approved drain such as a floor drain, standpipe, laundry drain, or sump with a proper air gap. Draining to the ground may or may not be allowed depending on local code, so we recommend checking with your local authority or plumber before doing that.
Is this for well water systems
Yes — the Bodyguard Plus can be used on well water, but it’s intended for chemical/odor reduction (like chlorine/organics), not as a “fix everything” well filter. With wells, we typically recommend adding a sediment pre-filter ahead of it, and depending on your water test results you may also need separate treatment for things like iron, sulfur (rotten egg smell), manganese, hardness, or bacteria.
Is this your only system that has an addition to remove flouride? Is it possible to get a full list of chemicals removed by this system?
Yes—fluoride reduction is available for the Bodyguard Plus as an optional fluoride removal add-on, and it’s not the only way we can address fluoride (we also have other whole-home and RO-based options depending on your water source and goals). The Bodyguard Plus is designed to reduce a wide range of common chemical contaminants like chlorine/chloramine and many other organic chemicals (such as VOCs/solvents, pesticides/herbicides, THMs, etc.), and optional upgrades can expand capabilities even further. Because contaminant reduction can vary based on water chemistry and which upgrades you choose, please call in and speak with a Water Specialist—we can review your water source/test results and provide the most accurate, full contaminant-reduction details for your exact setup.
Is this system a grade A?
There really isn’t an official “Grade A/B/C” rating system for whole-house filters like this. Instead, systems are judged by what they remove and which standards they’re tested to. The Bodyguard Plus is our top-tier whole-house chemical filtration system. It uses high-capacity granular activated carbon plus catalytic carbon to remove chlorine, chloramine and a wide range of chemicals, pesticides, VOCs and other contaminants, and it has an optional Interceptor® pre-filter that’s a charged sub-micron filter tested to NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 61 for potable water. So if by “Grade A” you mean “is this a high-end, professional-grade whole-house filter for city water chemicals,” then yes—that’s exactly what this system is designed to be.
