Our verdict

The Aura is Aquaguard's answer to the wellness-feature arms race, and it executes it better than most: the copper and alkaline stages are both switchable, so you are not locked into either. Underneath, the purification is the same reliable 2,000 ppm RO+UV+UF stack as the Delight NXT, with a slightly larger tank and faster throughput.

The honest question is whether copper and alkaline are worth ₹7,500 over the Delight NXT. Copper has genuine antimicrobial properties, which is why Indian households have stored water in copper vessels for centuries — but in a purifier that has already sterilised the water with UV, the marginal benefit is small. Alkaline, as covered elsewhere on this site, has no solid clinical support. Buy the Aura because you want the better-built unit with more options, not because you expect a health transformation.

What we like

  • Both copper and alkaline stages, each independently switchable
  • Best build quality in Aquaguard's domestic range
  • Higher throughput and larger tank than the Delight NXT

What we don't

  • Expensive, and running cost is the highest of any Aquaguard domestic unit
  • You are paying for wellness features with weak evidence behind them

About 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.

Tip

This unit is rated for high-TDS input, but membrane life still falls as TDS rises. Above roughly 1,200 ppm, plan on replacing the membrane every 10-12 months and never let the sediment or carbon pre-filters run past their schedule — that is what protects it.

Aquaguard Aura — frequently asked questions

Is copper water purifier good for health?
Copper does have genuine antimicrobial properties and Ayurveda has long recommended storing water in copper vessels. In a purifier, the copper cartridge adds a small, controlled amount of copper to already-purified water. It is safe and some people prefer the taste, but since UV has already handled microbes, the incremental health benefit is modest. It is a preference feature, not a necessity.
