====Operation====
Firstly, water is poured to the system passing through the micro-fibre mesh which removes visible dirt. Furthermore, the compact carbon trap will remove additional dirt, some parasites and some pesticides. The water then flows into the germkill processor which uses a ‘sustained release chlorine technology’ to kill harmful bacteria and viruses. Finally, the water passes through the polisher which removes odour and improves water clarity.
Used, partly used, or unused germkill battery should not be thrown away together with garbage or put into fire, it should be disposed off safely with dry waste.
====Treatment Efficiency====
====Maintenance====
The Pureit consists of some moving parts which are more susceptible to breakage. A guarantee for the system is available. However, in case of breakage due to falling, the guarantee is no longer valid.
====Manufacturing====
Pureit is manufactured by Hindustan Unilever. It is tested in 3 medical institutions in India; 5 scientific institutions in India; 3 international institutions in UK. The replacement of the battery kit can be obtained either by direct order to the company or buying it at the nearest stores supplied by the manufacturer (Instruction available in the website).
