MiWater Purifiers FAQ
Do I need RO if my TDS is low?+
Usually not. Below roughly 300 TDS, a UV or UF purifier is often the better choice: it keeps minerals and wastes no water. RO earns its keep on borewell or tanker water with high TDS.
What does a water purifier really cost over 5 years?+
Filters and membranes typically add Rs 2,000 to Rs 6,000 per year on top of the sticker price. Our true-cost calculator ranks models by total 5-year cost, which changes the picture completely.
