The complete answer to city water: a 5-stage Bodyguard whole-home filter removes chlorine, chloramines, PFAS, PFOA, and more — combined with the Matrixx smart water softener to eliminate scale and hard water throughout your entire home. One system. Every tap. All day.
Get a Free QuoteMunicipal treatment removes bacteria and meets EPA minimums — but it adds chlorine and chloramines to do it, and it can't remove PFAS, PFOA, lead from aging pipes, or the dozens of trace chemicals that accumulate between the plant and your tap. A whole-home filtration and softening system addresses everything at once: contaminant removal for better water quality, plus hard water protection for your appliances, plumbing, and fixtures.
The Bodyguard filter and Matrixx softener are designed to work in tandem — filtration upstream removes contaminants and protects the softener resin, while the softener handles hardness throughout your home. The result is the cleanest, softest water available for a city water home.
The 5-stage Bodyguard filter removes chlorine, chloramine, MTBE, TTHM, PFOA, PFAS, and other chemicals that municipal treatment doesn't eliminate. You'll notice the difference in your drinking water, your coffee, and your cooking — water that tastes clean because the chemicals are actually gone.
The Matrixx softener eliminates hard water minerals at the source — stopping scale before it reaches your dishwasher, water heater, washing machine, or any pipe in your home. Your dishes come out spotless. Your shower doors stay clear. Your appliances run at full efficiency and last years longer.
Hard water prevents soap from rinsing fully, leaves a film on your skin and hair, and causes colors to fade faster in the wash. With soft, filtered water throughout your home, soap rinses clean, your skin stays naturally moisturized, and laundry stays vibrant wash after wash — with up to 50% less detergent needed.
The Matrixx softener includes Bluetooth connectivity and a smartphone app — letting you monitor water usage, adjust regeneration cycles, and get filter replacement alerts from your phone. It's the most intelligent water softener we install, with American-made build quality and a warranty that backs it up.
Double O-ring technology for a leak-proof seal. American-made quality with superior contaminant removal at the point of entry.
Smart metered control with app monitoring. Regenerates only when needed — saving salt and water compared to timer-based systems.
Three sizes to match your home's water demand. A 10 GPM system handles smaller homes; 20 GPM handles larger households with simultaneous heavy use.
Both systems are American-made and covered by the best warranty in the business — with real support from real people when you need it.

Our technicians install both systems in a single visit at your main water line — so every tap in your home delivers filtered, softened water from day one.
We test for hardness, chlorine levels, specific contaminants, and flow rate — so the system is sized and configured for your exact water and home.
We select the right flow rate configuration and discuss optional upgrades like UV disinfection or an under-sink RO system for your drinking water.
Both systems installed at your main line, Bluetooth app connected, and everything tested and verified before our team leaves. Typically completed in one day.
“We went from water that smelled like a swimming pool and left white crusty deposits on everything to water that tastes clean, looks clear, and leaves our fixtures spotless. The Bluetooth app is a nice bonus — love being able to check salt levels from my phone.”
“Our water heater was building scale fast and our skin was always dry and itchy. Three months since installation — scale is stopping, our skin feels completely different, and the water just tastes better. The combo system was the right call.”
“I had no idea how much of a difference soft filtered water would make on laundry. Colors are brighter, towels are softer, and I’m using half the detergent I used to. The whole family notices the difference every day.”
“Installation was smooth and the tech walked us through everything. Six months in and both systems are running perfectly. Called support once with a question and got a real person immediately. American made and it shows.”
