1) One fine day they sent a guy from Pureit to setup the device and it looked very strange for me as there were many small parts that are to be integrated. I also doubted this to be a deliberate attempt to confuse household consumers to believe that it is a complex system and thats why it costs Rs 2000/-. That installer guy took a big lecture for us about the ways to use it. Though it was hard to remember all of them we could gain confidence that we can handle it and it is no big deal.
2) 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 Hyderabad 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.
3) he 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.
