Water Source Compatibility
This water purifier is specifically engineered for municipal water sources with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level of less than 200 ppm. It is not suitable for borewell or tanker water, which typically have higher TDS levels.
Design and Convenience

It includes wheels and a grip handle for easy movement and accessibility during cleaning or maintenance. The unit is also compatible with modern double-door refrigerators that have built-in water dispensers.
9-Stage Purification Process
The purifier employs a comprehensive 9-stage purification system to ensure high-quality drinking water:
- Mega Sediment Filter: Removes fine dust, dirt, and mud particles, preventing internal filter choking.
- Sedi Shield 2X: Filters physical impurities down to 0.5 micron.
- Particulate Filter: Eliminates pathogenic particles and suspended matter.
- Chemi Block 2X: Protects against chemicals, odors, and improves taste.
- UV E-Boiling: Ensures water purity equivalent to boiling for over 20 minutes, reducing 99.9999% bacteria and 99.99% viruses.
- Ultra Filtration 2X: Provides additional protection by removing ultra-fine suspended particles and microplastics, making water crystal clear.
- 3-in-1 Active Copper Technology (Stages 7-9): Infuses the correct amount of copper, calcium, and magnesium into the water, adhering to BIS norms. This technology is suitable for all age groups and features a clean-free design.
Setup and Installation
Professional installation is recommended for the Aquaguard Aspire Designo UTC UV+UF 2X. Upon purchase, complimentary installation is typically included. A qualified service technician will:
- Assess the installation site under your kitchen counter.
- Connect the water inlet to a municipal water supply.
- Install the external Mega Sediment Filter.
- Mount the faucet on the countertop (drilling may be required, which might incur additional charges depending on the service provider's policy).

Operating Instructions
Once installed and connected to power, the Aquaguard Aspire Designo UTC UV+UF 2X operates automatically to purify water and fill its 7-liter storage tank.

- Dispensing Water: Turn the handle of the installed faucet on your countertop to dispense purified water.
- Automatic Refill: The system automatically detects when the water level in the storage tank is low and initiates the purification cycle to refill it.
- Power Dependency: This unit requires continuous electrical power to operate and dispense water. In the event of a power failure, water cannot be dispensed from the faucet.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Aquaguard water purifier.
