Stages of Filtration
Engineered for Whole Home Protection
The Guardian System features advanced multi-stage filtration designed to deliver cleaner, safer water to every tap in your home. Built in the U.S.A. using certified materials and proven filtration media, it provides hassle-free performance without electricity or maintenance.
Stage 1:
The proprietary blend of NSF-certified media used in the Whole Home Guardian System is a highly adsorbent material used to remove contamination from water. The media acts like a sponge to remove contaminants such as Chlorine, VOC's, Heavy Metals, Herbicides, Pesticides, Radionuclides and more. This technology has also been approved by the EPA to remove a host of potentially hazardous and carcinogenic chemicals in drinking water, such as PFAs “Forever Chemicals”, pesticides, herbicides and trihalomethanes “THMs”
Stage 2:
Efficiently filters out inorganic and organic contaminants including Fluoride, THM's, Heavy Metals, Radioactive Particles, and Arsenic.
Stage 3:
Water passes through a media bed of zeolite mineral stone removing suspended solids, and sedimentation down to 10 microns.

FAQs
What makes the Guardian different from other whole-home filters?
The Guardian goes beyond standard carbon filters by removing not just chlorine, but also fluoride, PFAS, pesticides, and more. Its multi-stage design provides clean, great-tasting water from every faucet-without salt or backwashing.
Does the Guardian work on city or well water?
The Guardian is engineered specifically for city or municipal water sources that contain chlorine or chloramine. If you’re on a private well, check out our ECO-X Saltless Water Softener or contact us for a custom setup.
How long does the Guardian system last?
The Guardian is designed for long-term performance-typically 7 to 10 years, depending on household water usage and quality. It's a true maintenance-free system, so there's no salt, filters, or messy cleaning required.
Does it remove fluoride and PFAS chemicals?
Yes! One of the biggest benefits of the Guardian is its advanced fluoride reduction and PFAS removal capability. It uses a special blend of activated alumina and catalytic carbon to target these harmful contaminants while preserving healthy minerals.
How is the Guardian installed?
The Guardian connects directly to your home’s main water line, usually right after the meter. It can be installed by a plumber or a Freedom Water dealer near you.
What if I want to add drinking water filtration too?
Great idea! Many homeowners pair the Guardian with our AquaFlo Reverse Osmosis System for even cleaner drinking and cooking water. Together, they provide whole-home and point-of-use protection.
