By technology
If your water comes from a treated municipal supply and tests below roughly 200 ppm TDS, a UV or UV+UF purifier is not a compromise — it is the technically correct choice, and buying an RO instead is actively worse. RO would strip out calcium and magnesium you want to keep, waste two to three litres for every litre purified, and cost more to run, all to solve a problem you do not have.
This applies to a lot of India: Kerala, coastal Karnataka, Srinagar, Himachal, much of piped Mumbai, and Cauvery-supplied central Bengaluru. In those places your actual risk is microbiological — a pipeline breach after monsoon rain, contamination in an old building's plumbing — and UV handles exactly that.
Test before you buy. A TDS meter costs about ₹300 and will save you ₹15,000 and years of unnecessary water wastage.
