History of the brands

Eureka Forbes is credited with the introduction of water purification in your homes as a concept way back in 1984. At that point of time, when water purification through a machine that can sit over one’s kitchen sink, was completely unheard of in India and was grossly misunderstood at that.

With the launch of Aquaguard in the early ’80s, Eureka Forbes also felt the need to educate prospective customers. They introduced the concept of direct selling to achieve the same.

A friendly customer service representative would go from door to door explaining why water purification was important and what Aquaguard could do. The dynamic salesforce that Eureka Forbes employed were successful in changing the perception of common people.

Soon Aquaguard became a household name.

By the 90s, a water purifier or an “Aquaguard” was a common sight in all middle-class Indian homes. However, with the passage of time and advance in technology, Aquaguard became a sophisticated water purifier. It used state of the art technology such as the combination of RO/UV/UF to purify drinking water with the help of electricity.

Naturally then, these purifiers were priced at a higher range.

 

The need to Launch Aquasure:

However to remain relevant and hit home with the average Indian, Aquasure was launched as an offshoot of Aquaguard. Aquasure was launched with the idea of making clean drinking water available to the masses at a low cost. The first models of Aquasure were therefore non-electric and affordable for the masses.

However, over time Eureka Forbes realised that there was a scope of greater penetration among the retail class with an electric version of Aquasure. Thus, while affordability still remained its USP, Aquasure metamorphosed into a brand that offered both electric and non-electric water purifiers at a lesser price, with the same promise of providing clean and safe drinking water.

To Summarize, Aquaguard is a top end range of water purifiers from Eureka Forbes and come with all the latest features. While Aquasure is a more budget-friendly range of purifiers. Dr Aquaguard Geneus+ and Aquasure Smart Plus are the best models respectively from each of these brands.
