Aquaguard Select Classic+ with AyurFresh
Brand: Eureka Forbes
About Aquaguard Select Classic+ with AyurFresh
Aquaguard Select Classic+ with AyurFresh is presented as India's first water purifier integrating two advanced technologies: Biotron™ and Active Copper Maxx™. It aims to enhance water's natural goodness and fortify it with essential minerals. Additionally, it incorporates the benefits of 7 Ayurvedic ingredients through the AyurFresh™ technology.
Key Technologies:
- Active Copper Maxx™: Fortifies drinking water by adding essential natural minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium, Copper, and Zinc, and balancing the pH level, making it truly the healthiest water. It also enhances taste by removing residual dissolved harmful gases like VOCs.
- Biotron™ Technology: Utilizes a patented Multiple Magnetic Field (MMF) generating device to break water molecules into fine micro-clusters, improving mineral and nutrient absorption by body cells, making water more bio-available.
- AyurFresh™: A unique blend of 7 indigenous herbs and spices, delivering the goodness of Ayurvedic ingredients to the water using a patented technology.
- Mineral Guard™: Retains essential natural minerals in water that other purifiers might deplete.
- Silver Shield: An ion-releasing system providing anti-microbial protection, safeguarding water from any possible bacterial and viral contamination post-purification.
Multi-Stage Purification Process
The Aquaguard Select Classic+ with AyurFresh employs a multi-stage purification process:
Stage | Treatment | Material | Benefits |
---|---|---|---|
1. Combination Cartridge | Sediment filter and activated carbon block | Multi-layer polypropylene yarn with activated carbon block. | Removes physical impurities, reduces excess chlorine and VOCs, absorbs bad taste and odour. |
2. Mineral Guard™ | Micro-controller based electronic impulse producer | N/A | Prevents scaling of Calcium and Magnesium on the UV chamber's quartz glass, ensuring optimal UV penetration while retaining essential minerals. |
3. UV e-boiling | Germicidal UV Lamp | N/A | Disinfects water by eliminating waterborne disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, making it safe to drink. |
4. Active Copper Maxx™ Cartridge | Minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Copper, Zinc) with anti-microbial carbon | N/A | Enhances taste, increases essential mineral levels, and balances water pH, contributing to improved health. |
5. Biotron™ Cartridge | Patented Multiple Magnetic Field (MMF) | N/A | Breaks complex water molecules into fine micro-clusters for better bio-permeability and nutrient absorption. |
6. Silver Shield* | Silver Ion-releasing system | N/A | Provides anti-bacterial property, ensuring water collected is free from any possible bacterial and viral contamination. |
7. Ayur Cartridge | Blend of 7 indigenous herbs and spices | N/A | Delivers the goodness of Ayurvedic ingredients to the water. |
Water Flow Diagram Description: The purification process begins with 'Raw Water Inlet'. Water flows sequentially through the 'Combination Cartridge', 'Mineral Guard', 'UV Lamp (e-boiling)', 'Active Copper Maxx™ Cartridge', 'Biotron Cartridge', and 'Silver Shield'. Separate paths are indicated for 'Ayur Cartridge' and 'Regular Water', both leading to the 'Purified Water Outlet'.

Installation and Usage Guidelines
Installation Requirements:
Installation must be performed by a trained Eureka Forbes Service Technician. Key requirements include:
- Input water TDS must be tested.
- Install in a well-ventilated, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heating devices, or freezing temperatures. Wall-mounting is an option.
- Input water temperature must be between 10°C - 40°C. Do not connect to hot water taps.
- Tap water pressure must be between 0.3 to 2.0 kg/cm². A Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) or Booster Pump may be required based on pressure.
- Filter cartridges must be flushed as per service manual guidelines.
Input Water Quality Limitations:
For optimal performance:
- Iron content: Use an Iron Remover if > 0.3 mg/litre.
- Turbidity: Use a special filter if > 5 NTU or contains colloidal particles.
Important Suggestions (DOs):
- Keep the outlet spout covered with the cap when the unit is not in use.
- Turn off the main switch if not using for more than 3-4 hours.
- Store purified water in clean containers; consume within 2 days for hygiene.
- Schedule routine check-ups for your Aquaguard Select at least once in 6 months.
- If the unit has been unused for a long time (e.g., 2-3 weeks), flush 2-3 glasses of water before collecting for use.
Important Don'ts:
- Avoid spilling water on any panel to prevent electric shock.
- Do not store purified water in matkas or candle filters, as it can lead to recontamination.
- Do not use an extension box for power connection.
- Do not connect to a hot water supply source.
- Avoid installing the unit close to a gas stove or cooking range.
- Do not cover the product with plastic or cloth, as this may cause damage.
Precautions When Using Ayur Water:

- Pregnant/nursing women and individuals with dietary restrictions or hyper-sensitiveness to spices should consult their doctor before consuming Ayur water.
- Individuals under long-term prescription medication should consult a doctor.
- Mild frothing may occur due to active ingredients; this does not alter the flavour or quality of the water.
- Discard the first glass of water after initial installation or Ayur cartridge change.
- When the unit is not in use for more than 48 hours, discard the first glass of water before use.
- Prolonged stagnation may impart a stronger flavour; dilute with regular water if needed.
