Hi everyone,

I'm getting the Aquaguard Delight Aquasaver RO+UV+UF+MC (2-year filter life, Mega Sediment Filter, 9-stage purification) for ₹6,800.

My tap water TDS is around 300–350.

I'm confused about the long-term maintenance cost.

I don't want to buy an AMC. I'd rather replace filters myself whenever needed.

My questions:

Is AMC actually necessary, or can I skip it completely?

What's the real cost of filter replacement if I buy filters myself?

Are genuine or compatible filters easily available online?

Can I replace the filters myself without calling Aquaguard?

After the initial 2-year filter life, how much should I expect to spend every 2 years?

I'm looking for the lowest long-term ownership cost, not just the lowest purchase price.

Would you buy this model, or is there a better RO with cheaper DIY filter replacements?

I'm the eldest son in a family of 3 sons and 2 daughters. Our father is alcoholic, short-tempered, and has never contributed financially to the household. My younger brother and I bear all household expenses including our father's personal needs.

The Wedding Incident:

I recently got married. I spent close to ₹30 lakhs arranging everything myself. A few days before the wedding, my father demanded cash for his own clothes instead of letting us arrange them. When I refused, he tried to physically assault my younger brother and hurt me as well — days before my own wedding. He eventually boycotted the ceremony, borrowed money from a relative, and attended anyway.

He still claims he "did everything" for the wedding and calls us useless. Classic gaslighting.

The Debt Problem:

Over the years he has borrowed money from multiple people. I have paid off many of these loans. But he keeps borrowing more, and creditors come to me. I have realized I need to stop paying but wanted to confirm — am I legally liable for his personal debts? I have never signed anything or stood as guarantor.

The Land Problem — Most Urgent:

My grandfather owned ancestral land. Legal heirs are:

My father and 2 uncles (one uncle is deceased, survived by wife + 1 minor child)

2 aunts (one unmarried)

My father, influenced by neighbors/outside people, wants to sell this land. He earns nothing. I strongly believe he wants to use the money for himself and it will be gone within months.

I have 2 unmarried siblings whose future depends on this asset. I cannot let this land be sold.

My Questions:

Can my father legally sell the entire ancestral land alone, or only his share?

What is the fastest legal step I can take to prevent any sale — caveat, partition suit, injunction?

Am I legally responsible for his personal loans I never co-signed?

If he becomes physically violent, what legal protection exists without completely destroying the family?

My wife is fully supportive. I'm not looking for sympathy — just practical legal and personal advice on how to handle this situation systematically.

Thanks in advance.
