RO recommendation for Tier 3 City | 500-650 TDS

Hi fellow Indians,

I’m planning to buy an RO water purifier for my home and would really appreciate some suggestions.

I live in a tier-3 city, and our water source is borewell water. I tested the water today, and the TDS is between 570–610 ppm. The water also has a noticeable metallic taste and doesn’t taste good at all.

After some research, I’ve shortlisted the Aquaguard Delight Aquasaver - https://amzn.in/d/05EA0HEc. Has anyone here used it? Is it a good choice for this kind of water, or would you recommend something else?

I was also considering the Urban Company Native RO, but I’m a bit concerned about after-sales service since I live in a tier-3 city. Since RO purifiers need periodic servicing and filter replacements, service availability is a major factor for me and I feel UC has done lot of marketing with youtube reviewers as everyone is recommending it.

A few questions:

  • Is the Aquaguard Delight Aquasaver a good buy for borewell water with 570–610 TDS?
  • Are there better options in the ₹8k–15k price range?
  • How has your experience been with Aquaguard, Kent, AO Smith, Livpure, Urban Company, or any other brand in terms of reliability and service?
  • Would you recommend taking the company’s AMC, or is it better to get servicing done by a local technician?

Any recommendations or personal experiences would be really helpful. Thanks! 🙏
