Pure it is counted as a best water purifier.
Now a days people have forgotten using water and everything that you see is mineral water. There are hell lot of diseases associated with water that people are scared of using normal water. In cities the situation is even worse, getting hold of normal drinking water is very tough. All these things have contributed to an unimaginable demand for quality water.
This has become a huge business. There are many vendors who install a machine to purify water and sell it in the name of mineral water. The dispatch of mineral water cans has become a common thing now. The amount that they charge for a 20 litre can varies from 20 to 40 rupees. In towns it is Rs 20/- and in cities like Patna it is as high as Rs 40/-. I had managed using these cans for over an year when I was staying alone but now with my parents at home the consumption has increased and relying on these cans is not affordable anymore.
The most surprising thing was about the battery. While even after trying hard I could not figure out where the battery was, the guy kept on showing me one component and told me to believe that it is the battery. Then I understood the catch in the business, they say that the battery runs for 3 to 5 months based on its capacity and the usage of water in it. There are two kinds of batteries available. One which can purify around 2000 litres of water and another smaller one with less throughput. And the prices are also different for these.
The price is also affordable because I have seen people deploying an expensive water purifier device with complex cable/pipe connection set to the water tap. There are lot of issues with such devices and often after installation the consumers are forced to stop using it. Pureit is a very good alternative and works well.
The only concern is about the replacement of the batteries but that is how they can make consistent money.
I would suggest this water purifier to ally friends of Mouthshut.
