Total RO system not working in Mumbai...Unethical

I had purchased an Aquaguard RO system for Rs 14000 in Bangalore in Dec 2008. I had not been using the system till date because I had relocated to Mumbai.


I had called Aquaguard people for installation in my home in Mumbai. The installation was done, but the taste of water is not good. There is peculiar taste of the water. I called Aquaguard sales person. He told me that the system is designed to work only for hard water and hence has this peculiar taste as the mineral content is removed from the water due to RO process.


I fail to understand, how and why the system will remove the mineral content of the water to give this peculiar taste.


They sales person advised me to buy another system to get over the problem. So does Ereka Forbes expect that as people shift cities they need to change their water purification system. If so then why the sales person in Bangalore did not mention that this system will only work for hard water and TDS content.


Why should I spend another 10000 to buy another system. I feel like I am cheated by such a reputed company. I want Eureka Forbes to replace this system and give a system which will work all over India. The sales person are ill trained and dont seem to have good knowledge of the product that they are selling.


If Ereka Forbes does not resolve my issue, I will never buy any other Ereka product not recomend anyone. There are plenty of good products in the market like Philips, Kent etc. I would rather prefer to own them than have a product from an unethical company...

Dear Mr. Chinmay, Different input water quality requires different water purificationtechnologies. If the input water has TDS (Total Dissolved Solid) contentabove 500 mg/l, the water is commonly referred to as hard water and has highlevels of calcium, magnesium and heavy metals dissolved in it, making thewater taste salty. Here a RO system is ideal. If the TDS content in inputwater is below 500 mg/l an NF based membrane system or a UV based system issuitable depending on the input water conditions. All RO membrane technology based purification systems are designed to reducethe calcium, magnesium and heavy metals and improve the taste of water inaddition to removing physical, chemical and Microbiological contamination.RO systems reduce TDS content by approximately 90%. Most areas in Mumbai donot have water with high TDS. You are getting a peculiar taste in water asyou have installed a RO system in low TDS water condition, resulting inreduction of the dissolved salts which leads to a changed taste. Kindly provide us with your contact details so that we can ask ourtechnician to check the TDS content in your water. Based on the TDS contentyou may continue to use the existing system with a change of membrane from aHigh TDS reduction membrane to a low TDS reduction membrane or you mayrequire a new UV based system. Aquaguard also has a water purification system - Aquaguard Total Sensa,which has a universal application and works in all water conditions. Please do get in touch with me should you require any furtherinformation/assistance. Regards, Siddhartha Singh,Brand Manager
