Costly on maintainance. Review on Permionics Pureflo Water Purifier

Have used the Pureflo from Permionics for around 6 years.Bought it mainly because it was a purifier that did not require electricity like other purifiers and it was suitable for us being a family size of 3.It has around 4-5 liters of water storage capacity.A water inlet pipe and impurity outlet pipe.Impurity outlet pipe had a small tap which needed to be flushed daily.I guest to usually give demo to my guests by showing the comparison between the impurity outlet water which was dusty and the filtered water which was crystal clear.It didnt give me much of problem for the initial 2 years.Then service requiremwnt increased drastically, just to clean the membrane thwy would charge Rs.400 and consumables of around Rs.200.

Inspite of doing the regular servicing soon the purifying spped reduced and water would be purifyed in very less quantity .that is demand was more but supply was less.made a complaint and they told that the membrane needed to be changed which would cost Rs.2500, they bought a membrane with no box looking as if it was removed from other purifier and brought to which the executive told that this is how they get it from their branch office without any  box.Fitted the membrane and it working fine for around 3 mo ths and again the same problem.again called them for service and they serviced it and it lasted for only a month, from then onwards I am not using this purifier at all and have switched back to the previous candle purifier which I had.

Not recommended to buy.
