Pureit Wave review – Plus, Prime, Pro, UV ?

We used the Pureit Wave Plus (RO+UV) for three months and bought it on sale for about ₹6,500. The unit has a 7-litre tank, 100% food-grade plastic body, and sensible safety alerts — it warns 15 days before filter expiry and suspends dispensing after expiry if you do not change the filters. Our borewell water has TDS of 600 ppm which fell to roughly 100 ppm after purification. Pureit Claimed that the filters can last up to 6,000 litres mark, and annual GKK/AMC costs ran around ₹3,500–₹5,500 depending on use and TDS of source water.

Quick specs

The Pureit Wave family uses a compact 7 litre storage tank that suits small kitchens and tight counters. Models vary by purification stack: Wave Plus is RO+UV, Wave Pro adds LED in the tank and MF, Wave Prime pairs RO with MF, and Wave UV focuses on UV/UF for low-TDS Water. The machine hums quietly during operation and dispenses a bit slower than some competitors — this is not a functional issue, but worth noting for frequent large fills.

Pros and Cons

Pureit Wave Plus vs Pro vs Prime | Which Wave model should you pick?

If your input water TDS is above 300 ppm, choose one of the RO variants — Wave Plus, Wave Pro or Wave Prime — because RO reliably lowers TDS and removes fluoride and many heavy metals.

If your inlet TDS sits roughly between 50–300 ppm, and you have no reason to suspect chemical contamination, the Wave UV/UF option can be enough; it preserves more minerals and focuses on microbial safety.

If TDS is below 150 ppm, avoid unnecessary RO unless a lab test reveals toxic ions like Arsenic, Lead, Mercury or Flouride — very low TDS water lacks dissolved minerals, and RO will make it flatter still. Remember that TDS changes with seasons, so treat readings as ongoing checks, not a single permanent measurement.

MF, UF, RO, UV explained

Microfiltration (MF) operates at about 0.1 µm pore size. It removes suspended particles and larger bacteria, so it helps where turbidity is the main issue.

Ultrafiltration (UF) tightens pores to around 0.01 µm and blocks smaller bacteria and some larger viruses, giving stronger microbial protection than MF.

Reverse osmosis (RO) uses pores near 0.0001 µm and removes dissolved salts (TDS), fluoride, lead, mercury, arsenic and many heavy metals — only RO reliably lowers TDS.

Ultraviolet (UV) inactivates microbes but does not remove dissolved salts or particles; UV must be used after sediment/carbon polishing for effectiveness.

How Pureit Wave stages the purification

Pureit Wave RO models typically follow this practical sequence: an internal sediment filter for large particles, a carbon filter for chlorine/organics and taste, the RO membrane for dissolved contaminants, UV disinfection for microbes, and finally a mineral and post-carbon stage to add back calcium and magnesium.

Pureit Wave UV skips RO and focuses on UV/UF plus polishing stages and is suitable for Low TDS water.

Pureit Wave water purifiers add minerals to the purified water, many users prefer the taste compared with fully demineralised water.

Our hands-on experience (Three months with Wave Plus RO+UV)

We installed Wave Plus on our borewell line and used it daily for three months. With inlet TDS around ~600 ppm, outlet TDS consistently read near 100 ppm, which made the water suitable for drinking and cooking.

The mineral stage softened taste — the water felt less “flat” than straight RO. We found the taste similar to that of Bisleri mineral water. The machine hums quietly while running and dispenses slightly slower than some rivals like UC Native M1/M2, Atomberg Intellon. We found this deliberate pace acceptable for routine use, though it’s slower when filling large jugs.

Running costs and water saving

We purchased Wave Plus at around ₹6,500 during a sale; MRP is higher. Germ kill kit (GKK) and AMC costs ran ₹3,500–₹5,500 annually depending on water hardness and usage — expect the upper end with very hard water. The Pureit Wave range wastes less water than some legacy RO models and even some of the latest models, such as the Atomberg Intellon and UC Native RO. You can reuse reject water for cleaning utensils, mopping or gardening purpose. The machine’s automatic alerts help you schedule timely maintenance, which preserves performance and saves money longer term.

Practical tips — what to do before and after buying (follow these)

• Test your inlet TDS with a simple meter. If TDS > 300 ppm, choose an RO variant; if 50–300 ppm and no chemical risk, UV/UF will often suffice.
• Use a pre-sediment filter if your inlet water shows visible dust or turbidity — it will protect the RO membrane and lengthen filter life.
• Check Pureit’s local service availability for your PIN code before buying; good service matters more than small spec differences.
• Register the appliance after purchase and use genuine GKK kits to keep auto-alerts and warranty intact.
• Use reject water for chores or gardening to reduce net wastage and improve cost effectiveness.

Frequently asked questions

Pureit Wave — who should buy this

If you want a compact purifier for a small family, the Pureit Wave line is sensible value. The RO variants (Plus/Pro/Prime) suit high-TDS or chemically-suspect supplies; the UV/UF option fits low-TDS systems where microbial risk is the concern. Service availability in small towns and lower net water wastage make Wave especially attractive where after-sales reach and running economy matter most. We used Wave Plus for three months and found it reliable, economical, and easy to live with — provided you fit a pre-filter when needed and budget for regular GKK/AMC servicing.
