The deciding factors
On paper the Zinger Copper is the best value in this entire catalogue: copper, RO, UV, UF and a mineraliser for under ₹13,000, when Aquaguard's comparable unit is ₹18,000. The purification hardware is legitimate and I have no concerns about the water it produces.
Against that, Faber Galaxy Pro Plus makes its case differently: Faber's pitch is straightforward: everything the premium brands charge for, at a mid-market price, with free service visits thrown in. The hardware backs it up reasonably well, and at ₹15,000 for RO plus UV plus UF plus copper plus alkaline, nothing else in this catalogue matches the feature list.
Our practical advice: unless the Livpure Zinger Copper's specific advantages match a real constraint you have — tank size for long water cuts, a higher TDS rating for brackish supply, hot water you will genuinely use — the cheaper unit is the better purchase. In this category, paying for capability you will never use is the most common way money gets wasted.
