Cost: Pureit Vs Kent
- Pureit Classic 23 Liter Gravity Based Water Purifier cost approximately Rs.2700.
- Kent Gold Star 22 Liter UF Water Purifier approximately Rs.2300.
If you see the cost is very close but after every 1250 liters of water purification you need to buy a refill – HUL Pureit GBDS100 Germ Kill Kit Cartridge which once again cost you 500 Rs. That too it is under ideal conditions and if the water is muddy then the capacity may decrease. The cartridge lasts around 2-3 months for a small family. For Kent Gold it is not the case. At most you need to replace the UF filter once in a year. That’s it. So if you are looking for long term then Kent Gold is cheaper.
Maintenance: PureIt Vs Kent
In this aspect PureIt rocks.
Pureit germ kit, other filters needs to replaces after 2-3 months. But Kent Gold you need to clean UF filter after every week. If the water is muddy then after 2-3 days. Cleaning will take only 5 minuets but the water purification stops till you clean. So you won’t have drinking water during that time. Initially it looks fine but after some time it looks suffocating.
So, Pureit Classic Vs Kent Gold: Which one is Best?
- If the price is main criteria then go for Kent Gold.
- If you are looking for convenience as you do not want to clean the filters weekly then go for Pureit classic.
Otherwise, not much to chose between them. Both are good.
