Aquaguard

India's oldest water purification brand and still the service benchmark — Eureka Forbes' direct technician network is the deepest in the category. The current Delight NXT / Aura / Ritzy line-up leans on mineral guard technology, active copper and e-boiling claims, with better industrial design than KENT.

Strengths

  • Best-in-class direct service network with company technicians, not only franchisees
  • Genuinely good build quality and compact wall-mount footprints
  • Mineral Guard + Active Copper implementations are well executed

Watch for

  • Consumables cost more than KENT equivalents over a 5-year horizon
  • Model naming is confusing — Delight, Delight NXT and Sure Delight are different products

Pureit

HUL's purifier arm, and the brand that democratised safe water with the non-electric Classic gravity unit. The Copper+ RO and Marvella lines are the modern range; Pureit's differentiator is a genuinely enforced filter-life cut-off that stops dispensing when the germkill kit expires — annoying but honest.

Strengths

  • Hard filter-life cut-off guarantees you never drink through an expired filter
  • Excellent budget non-electric options for homes with erratic power
  • Eco Water Saver models recover far more water than legacy RO designs

Watch for

  • The auto shut-off is not overridable — plan filter replacements ahead
  • Germkill kit costs add up; compute 5-year running cost before buying

Frequently asked questions

Aquaguard or Pureit — which brand is better?
Neither is universally better. Aquaguard: Best-in-class direct service network with company technicians, not only franchisees Pureit: Hard filter-life cut-off guarantees you never drink through an expired filter On service reach — which matters more than most buyers realise — Aquaguard is stronger, rated excellent. In tier-3 and tier-4 cities, let service network decide; in metros, decide on the specific model.
Which brand has better service, Aquaguard or Pureit?
Aquaguard, on our assessment — its network is rated excellent against very good for the other. Verify for your own pin code though: call customer care, ask whether a technician covers your area, and ask how many days a filter-change request takes.
Which is cheaper to own, Aquaguard or Pureit?
Aquaguard sits in the mid price band and Pureit in the budget band. But purchase price is only part of it — compute five years of consumables and AMC before deciding, because two purifiers with the same sticker price can differ by ₹10,000 or more over that period.
