Brand: Faber
Nine stages, copper and alkaline, aggressively bundled
Our editorial score
Very good — recommended
Value hunters in metros who want copper and alkaline features cheaply.
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.
Be sceptical about the stage count — counting a sediment pad and a post-carbon polisher as separate 'purification stages' is standard industry inflation and Faber leans into it. Judge it on the membranes and the lamp, which are legitimate. The bigger practical issue is service reach: outside major cities, verify before you buy.
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 2,000 ppm TDS
The membrane is rated to 2,000 ppm. Feed it more and it will not fail dramatically — it will die early and quietly, and you will be buying membranes annually. Check your worst-season reading, not your average one.
Purifiers for high-TDS supply →Water wastage matters to you
The brand does not publish a recovery figure, so there is no way to know how many litres go to drain per litre purified. Only 2 of the 26 water purifiers we track publish this at all.
High-recovery purifiers →You live outside a metro or a major service town
Faber's service network is rated good rather than excellent. Filter availability and callout times are what decide whether a purifier is still running in five years, and they are worth checking for your pin code before you buy.

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.
