Ok

Good

One star for the shoddy and threatening attitude of the guy(s) who came for installation. I received the product before the promised delivery date, called up customer care and setup an installation appointment. Two guys came for installation and refused to install the purifier at a location where my previous purifier was installed. Reason - wont screw-in the nails, want to hit them in to the wall and there is less space to swing a hammer. The guys next suggestion was to install the purifier above the gas hobs, so that he can get stuff done easy. I felt threatened by the attitude of the guys and asked them to leave after filling in the installation report. I promise Luminous and Livpure that you have lost a customer due to your selection of service network and I will never recommend your products to anyone in friends or family circle. I had to pay another guy to come in and install the purifier. I hope people who are looking for a purifier will read this and realise one basic suggestion from my end - If you buy from Livpure, every six months you will have to face hardships and frustration. UPDATE: 28/07/2017: After leaving the above feedback on Amazon, Livpure Customer Care team reached out to me twice. Based on their request, I am willing to give them a second chance to give proper service for the product and win my trust. I will edit this feedback again in about 6 months and update the ratings if the service has been worth it. Update: March 2018: Livepure lived up to their promise and did the regular annual service free of cost. There was no part replacements but the engineer was from Livepure and tested the whole unit and left. The product has been working flawlessly and have not been giving any trouble. Kudos to Livepure CS team who promised and delivered.

HI I GOT THIS PRODUCT BEFORE AFTER GETTING IT I GOT TO KNOW IT DOESNT HAS TDS CONTROL BELOW IT IM TELLING THIS THE EFFECTS OF DRINKING LOW TDS WATER ITS ESSENTIAL TO KNOW THIS ! II. HEALTH RISKS FROM CONSUMPTION OF DEMINERALISED OR LOW-MINERAL WATER Knowledge of some effects of consumption of demineralised water is based on experimental and observational data. Experiments have been conducted in laboratory animals and human volunteers, and observational data have been obtained from populations supplied with desalinated water, individuals drinking reverse osmosis-treated demineralised water, and infants given beverages prepared with distilled water. Because limited information is available from these studies, we should also consider the results of epidemiological studies where health effects were compared for populations using low-mineral (soft) water and more mineral-rich waters. Demineralised water that has not been remineralised is considered an extreme case of low-mineral or soft water because it contains only small amounts of dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium that are the major contributors to hardness. The possible adverse consequences of low mineral content water consumption are discussed in the following categories: • Direct effects on the intestinal mucous membrane, metabolism and mineral homeostasis or other body functions. • Little or no intake of calcium and magnesium from low-mineral water. • Low intake of other essential elements and microelements. • Loss of calcium, magnesium and other essential elements in prepared food. • Possible increased dietary intake of toxic metals. 1. Direct effects of low mineral content water on the intestinal mucous membrane, metabolism and mineral homeostasis or other body functions Distilled and low mineral content water (TDS < 50 mg/L) can have negative taste characteristics to which the consumer may adapt with time. This water is also reported to be less thirst quenching (3). Although these are not considered to be health effects, they should be taken into account when considering the suitability of low mineral content water for human consumption. Poor organoleptic and thirst-quenching characteristics may affect the amount of water consumed or cause persons to seek other, possibly less satisfactory water sources. Williams (4) reported that distilled water introduced into the intestine caused abnormal changes in epithelial cells of rats, possibly due to osmotic shock. However, the same conclusions were not reached by Schumann et al. (5) in a more recent study based on 14-day experiments in rats. Histology did not reveal any signs of erosion, ulceration or inflammation in the oesophagus, stomach and jejunum. Altered secretory function in animals (i.e., increased secretion and acidity of gastric juice) and altered stomach muscle tone were reported in studies for WHO (3), but currently available data have not unambiguously demonstrated a direct negative effect of low mineral content water on the gastrointestinal mucous membrane. It has been adequately demonstrated that consuming water of low mineral content has a negative effect on homeostasis mechanisms, compromising the mineral and water metabolism in the body. An increase in urine output (i.e., increased diuresis) is associated with an increase in excretion of major intra- and extracellular ions from the body fluids, their negative balance, and changes in body water levels and functional activity of some body water management-dependent hormones.Experiments in animals, primarily rats, for up to one-year periods have repeatedly shown that the intake of distilled water or water with TDS ≤ 75 mg/L leads to: 1.) increased water intake, diuresis, extracellular fluid volume, and serum concentrations of sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) ions and their increased elimination from the body, resulting in an overall negative balance.., and 2.) lower volumes of red cells and some other hematocrit changes (3). Although Rakhmanin et al. (6) did not find mutagenic or gonadotoxic effects of distilled water, they did report decreased secretion of tri-iodothyronine and aldosterone, increased secretion of cortisol, morphological changes in the kidneys including a more pronounced atrophy of glomeruli, and swollen vascular endothelium limiting the blood flow. Reduced skeletal ossification was also found in rat foetuses whose dams were given distilled water in a one-year study. Apparently the reduced mineral intake from water was not compensated by their diets, even if the animals were kept on standardized diet that was physiologically adequate in caloric value, nutrients and salt compositio

I bought this water purifier 5 months back and gave enough time to write review about it. I started with 5 star ratings and went down to 3. I will put detailed analysis on why you should or should not buy this water purifier. PROS 1. Excellent build quality. 2. Looks modern and stylish than other purifiers 3. Excellent services. Atleast I can confirm it for Mumbai and Nagpur. 4. Automatic power cut off and on as per water level in tank 5. Easy to remove and reinstall. Very easy and you no need to call service guy if you have screw driver and drill machine 6. Excellent delivery and service by Amazon. CONS 1. Too much water waste. This is the huge downside of this product. On an average to filter 7 ltrs water, the back wash (water that goes out from RO membrane) comes around 3 ltrs. But contrary to this, I observed 10 yo 13 ltrs on every single filter cycle. If you hate water wastage and can't see water flowing out through your wash basin then it may give you sickness. 2. No TDS controller. I could not get the reason why there is no TDS controller in this purifier. Though they have given the slots to fit external if you want to. But RS 200 device would have make this product more worthy. If your existing water TDS is less than 450 ppm then you need TDS controller because when this water gets filtered it reduces to 15 ppm which is not the healthy water to drink. Controller alloWS you to adjust TDS and keep water at safe TDS. 3. Slow water purification To filter7 ltrs you would need to wait for 45 mnts to 1 hr. That's preety high compared to other. 4. Storage capacity 7ltrs is not enough for 5 members family. Especially in summer it is very small quantity. You may need yo store water to fulfill the need. CONCLUSION To reduce its water waste you need to install external TDS controller. This will help yo adjust the ppm to safe level and reduces water outflow. Install external sponj filter as well. This will improve your RO membrane life. Overall good product with manageable and reducible CONS Thanks for reading Anand
