Brand: Aquaguard
Under-sink UV + Copper (inline, no tank) water purifier
Our editorial score
Good — right for the specific buyer
A modular kitchen on low-TDS municipal supply
Catalogue listing — not a hands-on review
We have not tested this unit. The specifications below are parsed from the manufacturer's own listing, the features are their wording, and the score is calculated from those specifications rather than assigned by an editor. For models we have examined in depth, see our ranked water purifiers guides.
The Aquaguard UTC UV Booster Copper is an under-the-counter purifier listed on the maker's own store at ₹15,449 (checked 29 September 2026).
This is a catalogue listing, not a review: every figure comes from the maker's own page and nobody here has used it. The score is calculated from those published specs.
Every condition below is derived from this product's published specifications and from how it compares with the water purifiers we track — so you can check each one against your own room, supply or budget rather than take our word for it.
Your supply runs above 200 ppm TDS
It is suited to supply up to about 200 ppm. Above that this technology removes nothing dissolved, so the water will be disinfected but not desalinated.
Purifiers for high-TDS supply →Your area has documented arsenic, fluoride or nitrate contamination
There is no reverse-osmosis stage. UV and UF deal with bacteria, viruses and cysts, and remove nothing dissolved — so against those contaminants this offers no protection at all, whatever the TDS reading says.
Book a NABL lab water test →Exceptional transparency. This is separate from our review score above — it measures how well documented, how supportable and how expensive to own this water purifier is, scored on 4 of 7 axes by formula, with no manual override. See the methodology.

Specifications are from manufacturer literature and were checked at the last price-verification date. Brands occasionally revise stage counts, tank sizes and warranty terms without changing the model name — confirm against the current listing before purchasing.
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.
