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 LG RO+UV Mineral Booster 8L is a RO + UV + Mineraliser water purifier selling for ₹27,899 on Amazon.in (MRP ₹33,999, so 18% off on the day we checked). It costs more than the ₹15,200 a typical RO purifier goes for in this catalogue.
The deciding question is your water's TDS. Above about 300 ppm, which is typical of borewell and tanker water, an RO stage is worth having; below 200 ppm it mostly wastes water. The 8 litre tank is a practical size for a family of four.
Where these figures come from: the Amazon.in listing for this purifier (ASIN B0FBMGL7G7), read on 12 October 2026. We have not tested it ourselves, and Amazon prices move daily, so check the live price 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 →Low running cost is a priority
Consumables and routine service run about ₹3,500 a year, which is in the most expensive quarter of the water purifiers we track. Over five years that puts total ownership near ₹45,399.
Sort the database by five-year cost →Fair 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.
LG's purifiers are the premium engineering choice: stainless-steel tanks instead of plastic, dual-protection UV that sterilises the tank and the tap, and a self-sterilising cycle. If tank hygiene is your concern — and with Indian ambient temperatures it should be — this is the answer. In refrigerators, LG is the most consistently recommended brand in India: the Smart Inverter Compressor carries a ten-year warranty, holds temperature within a tighter band than reciprocating designs, and runs quietly enough to be unobtrusive in an open-plan flat.
