Catalogue listing — not a hands-on review
We have not tested this unit. The specifications below are parsed from the manufacturer's own listing, the features are their wording, and the score is calculated from those specifications rather than assigned by an editor. For models we have examined in depth, see our ranked water purifiers guides.
About this model
The KENT Basin Water Guard is a UF water purifier listed by KENT at ₹2,000 against an MRP of ₹3,450. That is below the ₹17,990 median for the purifiers in this catalogue.
KENT publishes little machine-readable specification for this model beyond the purification technology, so the specification table here is deliberately short rather than filled with estimates.
Every figure here is KENT's own published specification, read from www.kent.co.in on 20 September 2026. This is a catalogue listing, not a review — nobody here has used this purifier, and the score is calculated from the published specs by the method printed on the water-purifier hub. Running cost is a category estimate, not the maker's figure. Check the Amazon and Flipkart links before buying.
Manufacturer's stated features
Worth noting
- No RO stage, so it removes microbes but NOT dissolved solids. Check your TDS before buying this
- KENT does not publish a storage tank size for this model
- KENT does not publish a purification rate, so throughput cannot be compared directly
- KENT does not publish rated power, so running cost here is a category estimate
When this is not a good choice
Every condition below is derived from this product's published specifications and from how it compares with the water purifiers we track — so you can check each one against your own room, supply or budget rather than take our word for it.
Your supply runs above 200 ppm TDS
It is suited to supply up to about 200 ppm. Above that this technology removes nothing dissolved, so the water will be disinfected but not desalinated.
Purifiers for high-TDS supply →Your area has documented arsenic, fluoride or nitrate contamination
There is no reverse-osmosis stage. UV and UF deal with bacteria, viruses and cysts, and remove nothing dissolved — so against those contaminants this offers no protection at all, whatever the TDS reading says.

About KENT
The brand that made 'RO' a household word in India. KENT's mineral-ROTM positioning — RO plus UV plus UF with a TDS controller — is still the template most competitors follow. Strongest on purification hardware and spares availability; weakest on design, where the white-and-blue plastic aesthetic has aged.
