Aquaguard Verve has a 3- stage purification
process which destroys all known bacteria and
viruses.
Unlike boiling, it avoids recontamination of
water by purifying it just before you drink it.
It purifies water without using any chemicals.
It purifies water without adding anything to it
whilst retaining important natural salts and
minerals in the water.
It is time saving, convenient to install and easy to
operate.
It has an Electronic Circuit that detects the
current drawn by the UV lamp which will allow
the water to flow only if the UV lamp is on. If the
lamp fails to glow due to whatever reason the
water flow will stop thereby, ensuring pure water
or no water.
User-friendly indicators facilitate easy operation
of the unit.
Why Aquaguard Verve
Is A Superior
Water Purification System
It offers superior filtration with a special 9” long,
meltblown polypropylene fibre candle wound
sediment filter

Aquaguard Verve is the most advanced water
purification system using the principle of ultraviolet
radiation disinfection. Before we go on, take a look at
the picture on page 4. As you can see the Aquaguard
Verve has the following Components:
a. The Sediment Filter b. Activated Carbon Chamber
c. The Ultraviolet Disinfection. Aquaguard Verve works
simply, but effectively, in the following stages.
STAGE 1
THE SEDIMENT FILTER
STAGE 2
SILVER IMPREGNATED ACTIVATED
GRANULE ACTIVATED CARBON
In this stage, the water passes through specially treated,
silver impregnated activated carbon which reduces
colour, odour, organic impurities, and free gases like
chlorine.
STAGE 3
UV DISINFECTION CHAMBER
The next stage is where the water is subjected to the
ultraviolet radiation which has been documented as a
proven method for eliminating water borne disease -
causing bacteria viruses. In fact. Aquaguard Verve's
ultraviolet germicidal dosage, even at its lowest, is
1.2 times of that required to destroy all known water
borne disease - causing organisms.
Aquaguard Verve -
The Complete
Water Purifier
While the water is completely purified after the above
3 stages, Aquaguard Verve has one more benefit.
A unique Electronic Circuit that detects the current
drawn by the UV lamp which will allow the water to
flow only if the UV lamp is on. If the lamp fails to
glow due to whatever reason, the water flow will stop.
Thereby ensuring pure water or no water.
The water first passes through the sediment filter
which incorporates a specially developed 9" long
meltblown polypropylene fibre candle, which strains out
physical impurities present in the water, such as dust,
dirt and mud.

Answers To Your
Questions On
Aquaguard Verve
Can one store water from Aquaguard Verve or use it
directly?
Ideally, you should use water directly from the
Aquaguard Verve. However, if you need to store the
water, make sure you rinse the bottles or containers first
with water, from Aquaguard Verve and not with tap
water. Even while drawing water, remember to rinse the
tumbler with water from Aquaguard Verve.
How long and where should one store the water?
Water from Aquaguard Verve should be stored in a cool,
clean place, preferably in steel or glass containers. Avoid
matkas or filters as they tend to breed bacteria. Cover
the container with a clean lid and ensure that the storage
vessels are rinsed with water from Aquaguard Verve.
For hygienic reasons, it's preferable to change the stored
water at least after 2 days, especially during summers and
monsoons.
Does drinking water from Aquaguard Verve make
you lose your natural immunity?
Aquaguard Verve gives you clear, safe drinking water
thus reducing the risk of exposure to water borne
diseases. It does not affect your body's natural immunity
in any way.
Is UV (ultraviolet) light dangerous and is drinking
UV treated water harmful ?
Direct exposure to strong doses of UV light at a close
range is dangerous However, in Aquaguard Verve the
ultraviolet chamber is completely enclosed and no UV
light is allowed to escape.
Also, UV light has no residual effect in water and hence
it is totally safe.
Does Aquaguard Verve work even if the voltage
fluctuates?
Aquaguard Verve has reliable electronics and it works
under a wide input Voltage range. If, however, the
voltage goes below a pre determined level, the red LED
will blink with beep sounds. The water flow will shut off.
Do you need to boil or filter water from the
Aquaguard Verve?
Of course not. Aquaguard Verve is a complete
purification system which gives you clear, safe water.
Just fill your glass and drink !

The maintenance required for your Aquaguard Verve is
minimal. Should there be any problems, the unit is
designed to switch off automatically, ensuring that you
always get clear, safe water. With proper care, you can
ensure that your Aquaguard Verve performs effectively.
Here are some important rules to follow.
1. The key word is cleanliness :
Dirt and cockroaches have a way of creeping into any
appliance. Keep the area around your Aquaguard
Verve clean and dry. Wipe the Aquaguard Verve with
a soft cloth once in a while. Keep the spout clean and
closed with the cap provided.
2. Keep your Sediment filter clean :
Regular backflushing of the sediment filter will
increase the life of the candle. Backflush your candle
every fifteen days. However, the frequency of
backflushing will depend on : a. The quality of the
water in terms of physical impurities. b. The quantity
of input water passed through the unit.
How to backflush the sediment filter
1. Disconnect the installation tubes from the inlet and
outlet sides of the sediment filter (as marked).
2. Connect the tube from the tap to the outlet nozzle.
3. Leave the other nozzle of the sediment filter open.
4. Turn the tap on to maximum pressure.
5. Let the water flow into the sink for about 10 minutes.
6. Reconnect the inlet and outlet nozzle as before.
7. Do not by mistake interchange the inlet and outlet of
the sediment filter as this may clog the candle.
8. You are now ready to use the Aquaguard Verve once
again.
Aquaguard Verve has specially designed nozzles that are
easy to remove thus making your task of backflushing
simple.

Aquaguard Verve

3. Activated Carbon:
To ensure that your Activated Carbon works
effectively, insist on having it thoroughly cleaned by
our serviceman at every routine service
Also do remember to have your Activated Carbon
replaced at least once every 6 months by our
serviceman, during routine service.
As earlier explained, Aquaguard Verve is designed to
switch off automatically in case the purification is
inadequate.
In case the water does not flow when you switch on the
Aquaguard Verve and the red LED blinks, call our
service department.
But before you do so, check for any disruption in the
water supply or mains electricity supply to the
Aquaguard Verve. If both are functioning normally,
check the fuse.
10

1. Be careful not to spill water on the panel of your
Aquaguard Verve, as this may lead to electric shock.
2. When the unit is not in use, please keep the cover cap
screwed on to the outlet spout.
3. Switch off the main switch when unit will not be
used for more than 3-4 hours.
4. If your Aquaguard Verve has not been used for
a long time, after switching on the unit, allow 2 to
3 glasses of water to flow out before collecting the
water for use.
5. We recommend servicing of Aquaguard Verve
at least once in six months.
6. Avoid connecting any pipes to the outlet spout to
collect water from your Aquaguard Verve. You will
recontaminate the water purified by the Aquaguard
Verve.
7. Store water from your Aquaguard Verve in
containers cleaned with water from Aquaguard
Verve. For hygienic reasons it’s preferable not
to store water for more than 2 days.
8. Avoid storing water from your Aquaguard Verve in
matkas and candle filters.
