Twenty-five water purifiers read on 27 September, priced per stage and per litre. The retailer publishes no ratings at all, so the arithmetic on the spec strip is the only evidence there is.
Every water purifier on this shelf leads with a stage count, and the number is doing less work than it looks. We read 27 Vijay Sales listings on 27 September 2026 and divided each price by the stages and the litres the listing itself states. Six machines claim nine stages and sell from Rs. 9,499 to Rs. 27,000. A stage costs between Rs. 1,055 and Rs. 3,400 depending on whose box it is in. And Vijay Sales publishes no rating on any of the 27, so there is no crowd to fall back on.
Every price below was pulled from Vijay Sales on September 27, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Vijay Sales coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.

Why it earned its spot The second matched pair on this shelf.
First: ignore the stage count as a price signal. Six machines here state nine stages across a 2.84-fold price range, and the 12-stage box costs Rs. 1,908 a stage against the 6-stage box's Rs. 1,916. A stage is not a standardised unit across manufacturers. Second: divide by the litres too, because the two units disagree. One machine here is Rs. 1,818 a stage and Rs. 4,000 a litre; another at the same Rs. 19,999 is Rs. 2,000 a stage and Rs. 2,857 a litre. Third: decide RO on your water, then price it - this shelf lets you cost the decision exactly, because one model name appears as UV at Rs. 8,999 and as RO at Rs. 14,990 with the same 6-litre tank. Fourth: do not read the badge. It runs 4% to 56% with a median of 29%, and the largest badge on the shelf sits on a mid-priced machine while the cheapest machine and the dearest carry 50% and 29% respectively.

Every selling price, stated MRP and discount badge on this page was read on 27 September 2026 from vijaysales.com's own server-rendered water-purifier category pages, logged out, in India. 27 distinct listings, every one carrying both a price and a stated MRP. Nothing was bought.
Rupees-per-stage divides the selling price by the purification-stage count the listing itself prints; rupees-per-litre divides it by the stated storage capacity. 21 of the 27 state a stage count and 16 a capacity, and cards missing either carry no figure for it rather than an estimate. A 'stage' is not a standardised unit across manufacturers and we do not treat it as one.
All 27 listings in this read came back with no star average and no rating count. That is the retailer's own behaviour rather than a gap in our reading, and it is why no card here carries a rating - and why the spec strip and the arithmetic are the entire evidence base on this page.
Stage counts, litre figures, 'RO', 'UV', 'UF', 'copper', 'alkaline', 'TDS control' and filter-life claims are the listings' own printed text, reproduced as printed and not verified. No claim about purification performance, water quality, TDS handling, filter life, health or suitability for any particular water supply is made or implied anywhere on this page.
In our 27 September 2026 read of 27 listings, prices ran from Rs. 6,999 to Rs. 27,000, with a median of Rs. 16,949. Machines stating an RO stage started at Rs. 11,499; machines with no RO stated started at Rs. 6,999. The median displayed discount across all 27 was 29%, ranging from 4% to 56% - but as this page shows, that percentage does not track price, stage count or storage capacity in any usable way.
This page cannot tell you that, and the prices suggest the number is not even a reliable price signal. Six machines in our read state nine stages and sell at Rs. 9,499, Rs. 15,199, Rs. 15,999, Rs. 15,999, Rs. 21,800 and Rs. 27,000. Cost per stated stage ran Rs. 1,055 to Rs. 3,400, and the 12-stage machine worked out at Rs. 1,908 a stage against Rs. 1,916 for the 6-stage one. A 'stage' is not a standardised unit between manufacturers, and we did not test any machine's purification.
On this shelf you can price it exactly, because one model name appeared in both forms at the same tank size. The UV + UF version with a 6-litre tank sold at Rs. 8,999; the RO + UV + alkaline version with the same 6-litre tank sold at Rs. 14,990 - a Rs. 5,991 premium with brand, range and capacity all held constant. A second pair showed the same thing at a Rs. 4,900 gap. Whether you need RO depends on your water supply, which is not something a price page can assess.
Not in this read. All 27 listings returned no star average and no rating count - that is the retailer's own behaviour on these category pages, not a gap in our reading, and it matches what we have found on Vijay Sales shelves before. It means the spec strip is genuinely the whole evidence base, which is why this page prints cost per stage and cost per litre on every card rather than leaning on a crowd score.
The cheapest in our read was Rs. 6,999, badged 50% off a stated Rs. 14,000. It states UV purification and a mineral cartridge, and states no RO stage, no stage count and no storage capacity. The cheapest machine stating an RO stage was Rs. 11,499 with six stages and a 6-litre tank. The cheapest storage on the shelf was Rs. 1,500 a litre and the cheapest stage Rs. 1,055.
