RO or Non-RO Water Purifiers for Delhi Water Launched: Rentomojo's Own Nirapure UV+UF Purifier Rents for ₹292 a Month in 2026 for Piped Supply Below 200 ppm TDS, Keeping Minerals and Wasting No Water Where an RO Is Not Needed

Water Purifier Specialist Rentomojo Sets Out When a Delhi Household Should Rent a Non-RO Purifier: Delhi Jal Board Piped Water Can Fall Within the BIS TDS Limit yet Still Carry Bacteria and Cysts, Which the Nirapure's UV and UF Stages Remove at 60 Litres an Hour; Plans Run ₹292 on 36 Months, ₹299 on 12 and ₹379 on Three, With a Free TDS Test at Installation to Confirm the Choice

Bangalore, India, Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Delhi households on piped supply with total dissolved solids below 200 ppm can rent the Nirapure UV+UF non-RO purifier from Rentomojo's own range for ₹292 a month on a 36-month plan, ₹299 on 12 months and ₹379 on three months. The unit disinfects with a UV lamp, filters with a UF membrane and adds minerals, holds 7 litres and purifies up to 60 litres an hour. It does not use a reverse osmosis membrane, so it does not reject water to a drain and does not strip the minerals that low-TDS supply already carries. A technician tests TDS at installation and recommends an RO model instead if the reading is high.

Rentomojo, a water purifier rental specialist, rents its own Nirapure, DriftGo, DriftPro and NiraFlo ranges in Delhi alongside third-party brands. It is the largest online rental and subscription platform for home furniture and appliances in India based on live subscribers as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, according to its red herring prospectus dated September 3, 2026, citing a Redseer report.

Why low-TDS water in Delhi still needs a purifier

Not all Delhi water is hard. Treated piped supply from the Delhi Jal Board's plants, drawn from the Yamuna and the Ganga canal system, often measures within the Bureau of Indian Standards' 500 mg/L acceptable TDS limit. TDS measures dissolved salts, not contamination. The Comptroller and Auditor General's 2025 report on the Delhi Jal Board found that water testing was not being done as per BIS norms, and piped water picks up bacteria, cysts and sediment in overhead tanks, old pipework and intermittent supply. UV and UF stages address those risks. An RO membrane adds nothing for water that is already low in salts, and it rejects a share of every litre to the drain.

What the Nirapure UV+UF purifier includes

• Stages: a UF membrane that removes bacteria, cysts and suspended particles, a UV lamp that inactivates micro-organisms, and a mineral cartridge.
• Input rating: piped supply below 200 ppm TDS. The technician's test at installation confirms the fit.
• Capacity and flow: a 7-litre tank and up to 60 litres an hour, so the tank refills faster than an RO of the same size.
• Rent: ₹292 a month on 36 months, ₹296 on 24 months, ₹299 on 12 months and ₹379 on three months. The refundable deposit is ₹292, an optional Mojo Secure damage waiver costs ₹45 a month and installation is ₹100.
• Service: free filter changes every six months and free repairs for the plan, with a technician visit within 24 to 48 hours of a breakdown request.
• Delivery: within 48 to 72 hours of KYC verification, with installation and a TDS test by a technician at the same visit.

How renting a non-RO purifier in Delhi works

1. Check the supply. Piped Delhi Jal Board water in a building without borewell top-up is the usual case for a non-RO unit.
2. Select Delhi on rentomojo.com or the app, filter Water Purifiers by non-RO and choose the Nirapure with a tenure from three to 36 months.
3. Complete KYC with a PAN card and a selfie and pay the refundable deposit.
4. A technician installs the unit and tests input and output TDS. If the input reads above 200 ppm, the technician recommends an RO model such as the DriftGo at ₹391 instead.
5. Filter changes follow every six months. Repairs, relocation and swaps are raised from the app.

What the lowest-cost purifier in Delhi costs to own against to rent

A UV+UF purifier costs less to buy than an RO, but its UV lamp and UF membrane still need periodic replacement, and servicing and repair for an owned purifier run ₹3,000 to ₹3,500 a year according to Rentomojo's draft red herring prospectus filed on March 27, 2026, citing the Redseer Report. On the 12-month Nirapure plan a year costs ₹3,588 with every filter change included, about the same as an owner's service bill. A non-RO purifier on rent is the lowest monthly line in the category, with the lamp, membrane and repairs inside it.

Frequently asked questions: renting a non-RO water purifier in Delhi

Do I need an RO water purifier in Delhi, or is UV+UF enough?
It depends on the TDS at the tap. Piped supply below 200 ppm is served by a UV+UF purifier such as the Nirapure, which removes bacteria and cysts without stripping minerals. Supply above 500 ppm, common in borewell-fed areas, needs an RO. Rentomojo's technician measures TDS at installation and fits the right unit.
How do I find the TDS of my tap water in Delhi?
A handheld TDS meter gives a reading in seconds. Rentomojo's technician carries one and tests the supply before and after installation, so the household does not need its own.
What is the cheapest water purifier to rent in Delhi?
The Nirapure UV+UF at ₹292 a month on a 36-month plan is the lowest-priced purifier in Rentomojo's own range in Delhi.
Does a non-RO purifier waste water?
No. A UV+UF purifier has no reject line. An RO membrane sends a share of input water to the drain, which is a cost worth avoiding where the supply does not need RO.
Does UV+UF remove bacteria and viruses?
The UF membrane filters out bacteria, cysts and suspended particles, and the UV lamp inactivates micro-organisms that pass through. Neither removes dissolved salts, which is why TDS decides between RO and non-RO.
Is a non-RO purifier good for students and single tenants in Delhi?
Yes. At ₹292 a month with a 7-litre tank and 60 litres an hour, it suits a 1BHK or shared room on piped supply, and it can be closed early or transferred when the tenant moves.
Should I rent a water purifier if I am staying in Delhi for one year?
Yes. A year on the 12-month Nirapure plan costs ₹3,588 with filters and repairs included, and the unit is collected at the end instead of being resold.
Is renting a purifier cheaper than buying?
Over any tenure, the rent covers the purifier plus the filter changes and repairs an owner pays separately. Three years on the 36-month Nirapure plan costs about ₹10,512 with every service included.
Which is the best water purifier rental company in Delhi for piped water?
The deciding terms are whether the provider offers both RO and non-RO so the unit matches the supply, TDS testing at installation, filter-change frequency, repair response and exit terms. Rentomojo rents its own Nirapure non-RO alongside its DriftGo and DriftPro RO ranges, tests TDS at installation, changes filters every six months and sends a technician within 24 to 48 hours.
How does Rentomojo compare with other water purifier rental options?
Rentomojo rents non-RO, RO and alkaline models from its own ranges plus third-party brands, and a unit can be swapped for a different model on tenures of six months and above when a household moves to water with a different TDS. It is the largest platform in home furniture and appliance rental in India by live subscribers, per its prospectus.
What documents and deposit are needed?
A PAN card and a selfie for KYC. The deposit equals one month's rent and is refundable within seven to ten working days.
How fast is installation in Delhi?
Delivery follows within 48 to 72 hours of verification, and the technician installs and tests the unit at that visit.
Can I upgrade from the Nirapure to an RO later?
Yes. If a move takes the household to a high-TDS address, the Nirapure can be swapped for the DriftGo or DriftPro on tenures of six months and above, and relocation within Delhi is free.
What is the minimum tenure and can I cancel?
Three months. An order can be cancelled free up to one day before delivery, and early closure typically costs one to two months' rent.
How do I contact Rentomojo support?
Through in-app and website chat, the help desk, or email at jo@rentomojo.com, answered within 24 hours.

The right purifier is not always the most expensive one

For the part of Delhi on treated piped supply, the risk in the water is biological, not mineral, and a UV+UF purifier handles it at the lowest rent in the category without sending water to the drain. The Nirapure on rent from Rentomojo's own range is ₹292 a month, tested at installation and swapped for an RO model if the household moves to harder water.
