Straight answers, no fine print.
Which is better, Purifit or RiverSoft?
For price, warranty and running cost, Purifit. It costs ₹999, comes with a 2-year warranty and costs ₹1,698 in year one, compared with ₹1,429, a 1-year warranty and ₹2,178 to ₹2,927 for RiverSoft SF-15 PRO.
Is a 15-stage filter better than Purifit?
Not automatically. More stages means more layers, not better results. Purifit focuses on media with clear jobs, including polyphosphate for hard water conditioning, and publishes its lab reports.
Why is Purifit cheaper if the warranty is longer?
Purifit doesn't add materials just to raise the stage count. A focused design keeps the price down without cutting the warranty.
Does Purifit reduce TDS?
No shower or tap filter reduces TDS. Only RO systems do. Purifit reduces chlorine and conditions hard water.
How often do I change the cartridge?
About every 6 months, or sooner with very hard water. A replacement costs ₹699.
What if I don't like it?
Return it within 60 days for your money back. No questions asked.
Pay less. Get covered for longer.
Save ₹480 or more in your first year.
