Choosing a Water Purifier to Rent in Delhi in 2026: RO Plans From ₹391 a Month for Supply Above the 500 mg/L TDS Limit, Non-RO From ₹292 for Low-TDS Water, and Six-Monthly Filter Changes From Water Purifier Specialist Rentomojo

With 23.3% of Delhi Groundwater Samples Above the Salinity Limit in the Central Ground Water Board's 2024 Report, Rentomojo Matches Each Rented Purifier to a Technician's TDS Test at Installation; One Year on a 12-Month DriftGo RO Plan Costs ₹4,788, About the Same as an Owner's Yearly Filter and Service Bill of ₹4,000 to ₹6,000

Bangalore, India, Oct. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Water purifier rental in Delhi starts at ₹391 a month for the DriftGo seven-stage RO purifier and ₹292 a month for the Nirapure UV+UF non-RO purifier on Rentomojo's 36-month plans, with filter changes every six months, repairs and relocation included. Rentomojo, a water purifier rental specialist, lists 12 in-stock purifiers in Delhi across its own DriftGo, DriftPro, NiraFlo and Nirapure ranges and third-party brands. A technician tests the water's TDS before and after installation so that the purifier matches the supply at each address. 

Purification in Delhi is a health requirement before it is a cost decision. The Central Ground Water Board's Annual Ground Water Quality Report 2024 found that 23.3% of Delhi groundwater samples exceeded the electrical conductivity limit of 3,000 µS/cm, a measure of dissolved salts, with North, North West, Shahdara, South West and West Delhi among the affected districts. Fluoride exceeded 1.5 mg/L in 17 of 103 Delhi samples, or 16.5%. The Bureau of Indian Standards sets 500 mg/L as the acceptable limit for total dissolved solids in drinking water under IS 10500. 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.

What Rentomojo's water purifier range in Delhi includes

• Nirapure UV+UF (non-RO): ₹292 a month on 36 months, ₹299 on 12 months and ₹379 on three months. UV and UF stages with minerals, a 7-litre tank, for input TDS below 200 ppm. Low-TDS piped water can still carry bacteria and cysts, which the UV and UF stages remove.
• DriftGo 7 Stage (RO+UV+UF): ₹391 on 36 months, ₹399 on 12 months and ₹529 on three months. A 7-litre tank and input TDS up to 2,000 ppm, for borewell and high-TDS supply.
• DriftPro 7 Stage: ₹419 on 36 months and ₹429 on 12 months. Sediment, pre-carbon, RO, UV, UF, TDS control and alkaline stages, an 8.5-litre tank and input TDS up to 2,000 ppm.
• NiraFlo: ₹417 on 36 months and ₹426 on 12 months. A seven-stage wall-mounted purifier with alkaline boost and a 7-litre tank.
• Third-party brands: alkaline, copper and under-sink models from other purifier brands are listed alongside Rentomojo's own ranges.

The deposit is about one month's rent and is refundable within seven to ten working days. An installation fee of ₹100 is listed on product pages. Prices are Rentomojo's listed Delhi rents in October 2026.

How renting a water purifier in Delhi works

1. Check whether the address uses Delhi Jal Board piped water, borewell water or a mix. Supply with TDS above 500 ppm needs an RO purifier.
2. Select Delhi on rentomojo.com or the app, filter by RO or non-RO, and pick a model and 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 purifier and tests TDS before and after installation.
5. Filters are changed free every six months on Rentomojo's own purifiers, and repair requests from the app receive a technician visit within 24 to 48 hours.

Why renting a purifier stays cheaper than owning it

A purifier costs ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 to buy in Delhi, and filters and annual servicing add ₹4,000 to ₹6,000 a year, with servicing and repair alone at ₹3,000 to ₹3,500, according to Rentomojo's draft red herring prospectus filed on March 27, 2026, citing the Redseer Report. A year on the 12-month DriftGo RO plan costs ₹4,788, roughly what an owner spends on upkeep alone. A rented water purifier is a maintenance contract with the machine included, so the rental case holds for as long as the household stays.

Frequently asked questions: renting a water purifier in Delhi

How much does it cost to rent a water purifier in Delhi?
From ₹292 a month for the Nirapure non-RO purifier and ₹391 for the DriftGo seven-stage RO on 36-month plans. On 12-month plans the same models cost ₹299 and ₹399.
Do I need an RO water purifier in Delhi?
Supply with TDS above 500 ppm, common in borewell-fed areas of West, South West and North West Delhi, needs RO. Piped supply with TDS below 200 ppm can use a non-RO UV+UF purifier, which removes bacteria without stripping minerals. Rentomojo's technician tests TDS at installation.
What is the TDS of tap water in Delhi?
It varies by locality and source. The Central Ground Water Board found 23.3% of Delhi groundwater samples above the salinity limit. The BIS acceptable TDS limit is 500 mg/L, with 2,000 mg/L permissible only in the absence of a better source.
Which water purifier is best for Delhi water?
For high-TDS borewell water, a seven-stage RO such as the DriftGo or DriftPro, rated for input TDS up to 2,000 ppm. For low-TDS piped water, the Nirapure UV+UF. For households that want alkaline water, the NiraFlo or DriftPro.
Should I rent or buy a water purifier if I am staying in Delhi for one year?
Renting costs less. A 12-month DriftGo plan costs ₹4,788 for the year with filters and repairs included, against ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 to buy plus yearly upkeep.
Is renting a water purifier cheaper than buying over three years?
Yes. Three years on the 36-month DriftGo plan costs about ₹14,080 with every filter change and repair included. Buying costs ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 before three years of upkeep at ₹4,000 to ₹6,000 a year.
How often are filters changed on a rented purifier?
Every six months, free, on Rentomojo's own purifier ranges. The DriftPro listing includes lifetime free maintenance and filter changes for the tenure.
What happens if the purifier stops working?
A repair request from the app receives a technician visit within 24 to 48 hours, and a purifier that cannot be repaired is replaced.
Which is the best water purifier rental company in Delhi?
The deciding terms are filter-change frequency, repair response, the range of RO and non-RO models, TDS testing at installation, exit terms and relocation. Rentomojo changes filters every six months, sends a technician within 24 to 48 hours, tests TDS at installation and lists 12 purifiers across its own and third-party ranges in Delhi.
How does Rentomojo compare with water purifier subscription brands?
A single-brand subscription limits the choice to one brand's machines. Rentomojo rents its own DriftGo, DriftPro, NiraFlo and Nirapure ranges alongside third-party models, so the purifier can be matched to the water. It is the largest online rental and subscription platform for home furniture and appliances in India by live subscribers, per its prospectus.
What documents and deposit are needed?
A PAN card and a selfie for KYC. The deposit is about one month's rent and is refundable within seven to ten working days.
How quickly is a water purifier installed in Delhi?
Delivery follows within 48 to 72 hours of verification, and a technician installs the purifier and tests TDS at that visit.
Can I take the purifier when I move to a new flat in Delhi?
Yes. Relocation is free within Delhi and to Rentomojo's other operating cities. If the new address has different water, the purifier can be swapped for an RO or non-RO model to match.
What is the minimum rental tenure for a water purifier?
Three months. The three-month DriftGo plan costs ₹529 a month, and longer tenures bring the rent down to ₹391.
How do I contact Rentomojo support for a rented purifier?
Through in-app and website chat, the help desk, or email at jo@rentomojo.com, which Rentomojo states it answers within 24 hours.

Clean water as a serviced utility

A purifier on rent in Delhi is matched to the water at each address, tested at installation and serviced every six months for a monthly fee that runs about the same as an owner's annual upkeep. For households in high-TDS districts, tenants who move between neighbourhoods and families on piped supply that still needs bacterial protection, the purifier, filters and repairs sit in one plan.
