No more pool smell in the shower.

That chemical, chlorine-pool odor that hits you when the hot water runs? BodyGuard Plus catches the chlorine and chloramine before they reach the showerhead, so a hot shower doesn't smell like a swimming pool anymore.

Showers your skin and hair actually like.

Chlorine and chloramine are hard on skin and hair. Take them out of the shower water and the tightness, dryness, and itch usually go with them. You step out feeling clean, not stripped.

Water at the tap you want to drink.

Fill a glass straight from the kitchen faucet without the chemical aftertaste. Coffee, ice, pasta water, the dog's bowl. All of it comes from cleaner water, without hauling cases of bottles home.

Set it and basically forget it.

No cartridges to remember, no plastic housing waiting to crack and flood the garage. The tank rinses itself on a schedule, and you can check on it from your phone anytime.

Real chloramine reduction, not just chlorine.

Many cities now add chloramine, which is tougher to remove than plain chlorine. BodyGuard Plus uses catalytic coconut-shell carbon with long contact time, the media class water pros say is required for chloramine reduction. Many budget filters use plain carbon or KDF that handle chlorine but leave chloramine behind. Honest note: this is a media-class capability, not a third-party NSF chloramine certification.

A tank that cleans itself, run from your phone.

The smart backwashing valve rinses the media on its own so the filter keeps working at full strength. Bluetooth and the Legacy View app (iPhone and Android) show you real-time water use and let you set cycles. Most systems in this range run a plain mechanical valve with no monitoring at all.

Whole-home flow, not a trickle.

BodyGuard Plus moves 10 to 20 GPM depending on the model you pick, so two showers and the dishwasher can run without the pressure dropping. Many popular whole house filters top out well below that.

A warranty with no plumber-install catch, backed by people you can call.

Lifetime tank, 10-year valve and electronics, 5-year media, and you do not have to hire a pro installer to keep it valid. When you have a question, a WQA-certified water expert in Indianapolis picks up. Other brands make you choose between a good warranty and easy setup. You do not have to here.

The catalytic carbon core. Inside the tank sits a deep bed of coconut-shell carbon blended with catalytic carbon. The standard carbon grabs chlorine, taste, and odor, while the catalytic carbon speeds the reaction that breaks down chloramine, the tougher disinfectant that plain carbon leaves behind. Because it works by adsorption, it pulls the chemicals out while leaving your water's healthy minerals in.

Full-bed downflow contact. Water enters at the top of the tank and travels down through the entire depth of the carbon, so every drop spends real time against the media before it reaches your pipes. That long contact time is what lets a single tank on the main line reduce chlorine, chloramine, and dozens of other contaminants for the whole house at once.

A tank that cleans itself. On its own schedule, the valve runs a backwash cycle that rinses and re-settles the carbon bed, clearing out trapped sediment and keeping the media from packing down. That is what lets the filter hold full strength for years, with no cartridge to buy and swap every few months.

The smart control valve and app. The proprietary control valve runs the backwash automatically and connects over Bluetooth to the free Legacy View app for iPhone and Android. From your phone you can watch real-time water use and program the cleaning cycles, so the system looks after itself while you stay in the loop.
