Eureka Forbes Aquasure from Aquaguard Shield RO+UV+MP+MTDS Water Purifier
Aquasure from Aquaguard Shield Water Purifier Review
This latest RO+UV water purifier from Eureka Forbes reminds us of Aquaguard Smart Plus RO+UV+MTDS Water Purifier. Both these water purifiers are very similar in design, purification technology, and features.
Aquaguard Shield looks like an improved version of Aquaguard Smart Plus and it seems the company is planning to discontinue the Aquaguard Smart Plus water purifier.
You don’t need to be a water purifier expert to find the similarity, one look at both the models is enough to give you an idea.

The first thing that comes to our mind when we think of a product upgrade is the increase in price. Luckily, the company has kept the price almost the same as the earlier model. This could be because of the fierce competition the brand has been facing in this price segment, from newer brands like Livpure, Havells, and Blue Star.

Design

The LED indicator changes colors to indicate the status, like purification process on/tank full, low incoming water pressure, and machine error.
Aquaguard Shield RO+UV+MP+MTDS Purification Stages
Stage 1: Clarity Cartridge (I-Filter)
This stage is also known as ‘Sediment Filter’. Aquaguard Shield uses a multi-layered polypropylene wounded cartridge that removes fine suspended impurities like dirt and sand from water.
The Clarity Cartridge has been designed to last for 6000 litres of purified drinking water.
Stage 2: Membrane Protector (MP)
This is the latest innovation from Eureka Forbes which addresses the most common problem of RO membranes dying sooner.
This technology uses a microprocessor-based frequency-modulated waveform producer, which protects the RO Membrane from the damaging effects of hardness causing salts by preventing scale build-up. It also prevents the crystallization of these salts over the Quartz Glass Tube of the UV Chamber. This promotes the full penetration of the UV Rays into the water column, which means total freedom from harmful disease-causing microorganisms.
Stage 3: Chemi Block (with built-in particle trap filter) Filtration
This stage uses a dust-free Bacteriostatic Activated Carbon filter which removes excess chlorine, foul odor, color, and dissolved organic impurities. It also filters out pesticides and very fine particles from the water.
Stage 4: Membrane Life Enhancer
Special Antiscalant media increases the life of the RO membrane and improves water flow by preventing the scaling of dissolved solids like calcium and magnesium.
Stage 5: RO Membrane
Reduces TDS by removing hardness, pesticides, and heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury. Also removes microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and cysts.
Stage 6: Taste Enhancer Cartridge
Also referred to as post carbon filter, this stage uses an activated carbon filter to remove residual organic impurities and improve the taste of purified water. It also improves the visual appearance of the water by making it sparkling clean.
Stage 7: UV Disinfection Chamber
This stage uses a Germicidal UV lamp that disinfects the water by eliminating waterborne disease-causing microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.
