Hello, Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Pureit is mostly RO+UV water filter while aquaguard is only UV filter. It is better to give pureit purified water as it will remove all bacteria & virus and excess of mineral while preserving minimum required quantity of mineral that is useful to body.
Only RO purified water may remove excess of minerals leading to deficiency of certain mineral that are obtained by water. So, it should be second choice.
Only aquaguard purified water will remove all bacteria with most viruses but will not remove mineral, thereby leading to high mineral intake if ground water is used. So, it should be 3rd choice.
Hope this will be helpful.
Thanks for using HCM.
