This water purifier features advanced FilterPower technology that can remove industrial chemicals and pesticides. Eco-Recovery technology makes this water purifier save up to 80 glasses of water daily. Moreover, the SmartSense indicator alerts you 15 days before the Germ Kill Kit(GKK) runs out, gives you enough time to replace cartridges, and ensures you always drink safe and sweet water.

Pureit Vital Max Features

Filtra Power Technology

This “NextGen RO” technology removes viruses, bacteria, cysts, and toxic substances like industrial chemicals, and pesticides. Gives high filtration capacity. Vital Max is capable to filter 24 litres per hour.
Advanced 7-Stage Purification
- Stage 1: Pre-Sediment filter
  
  It removes the fine and coarse/large particles from raw water and improves the life of the whole water purifier.
- Stage 2: Pre RO-Carbon filter
  
  Carbon is nothing but an Activated-Carbon filter made from black coal, which removes especially chlorine and other organic components, and pesticides from water which causes bad odour and taste.
- Stage 3: Mesh filter
  
  Multiple layers of mesh filter remove finer particulate impurities like mud and finer stone particles.
- Stage 4: RO membrane
  
  Reverse-Osmosis(RO) removes dissolved salt and heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury. In short, RO converts hard water to soft water.
- Stage 5: UV chamber
  
  Water passes through the ultraviolet(UV) light chamber. UV radiation kills diseases causing microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
- Stage 6: Post carbon
  
  Again, this one more Activated-carbon filter acts as a polisher and enhances the purified water taste.
- Stage 7: Carbi-trap
  
  This filter removes floating loose carbon particles.
Eco Recoveryᵀᴹ Technology

For your information, during the RO purification process, RO makes a lot of waste water, which will be thrown out. Whereas, Vital Max - Eco Recovery Technology saves up to 80 glasses of water daily compared to ordinary RO.
Mineral Enhancer Cartridge

Mineral enhancer cartridge helps to enrich the water taste by adding additional, essential minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Smartsense Indicators

Led indicators like water level, GKK(Germ Kill Kit - inside filters replacement), and UV light status(faulty/working fine) to make sure that the Water purifier always works in the best condition.
Water Storage Capacity & High-speed purification

Consists of 7 litres storage tank and provides high-speed purification of up to 24 litres per hour.
Purifies all types of drinking water

Capable to purifies all sources of water like borewell hard water, municipal, and tank-supplied contaminated water. One thing that needs to consider before purchase is that supplied water TDS(Total Dissolved Solids - Water Hardness) must be less than 2000 PPM. Please use a “TDS meter” pen to measure the TDS level of your source water before buying a water purifier. However, any household water purifier is capable to purify water levels up to TDS level 2000 PPM only. This is not a drawback of Vital Max.
Membrane Protector(MP)

MP avoids the formation of sediment and crystalline salts on RO and UV filters, ensuring RO and UV always work at full capacity and longer filter(RO+UV) life.
USEPA Compliant & NSF 58 Certified

United States Environmental Protection Agency(USEPA) and National Sanitation Foundation(NSF) certified, gives the guarantee of the capability to remove 1 crore viruses & 10 crore bacteria from 1 litre of water.

Pureit Vital Max Pros

100% RO purified

100% of the water passes through the RO and UV light, giving completely safe and sweet water always. Whereas, other companies water purifiers pass some raw water through RO and the remaining raw water bypasses the RO filter. Efficient UV sterilization kills up to 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, and cysts.
UV-fault alarm

Smart-Sence indicator UV-fault alarms make water purifiers always deliver purified water. Most water purifiers have no way to know whether UV light is working or not. Vital Max products UV-light indicator, best in industry feature.

Auto shut off

SmartSense indicator starts blinking 15 before GKK expires. During that, if GKK has not replaced the AutoShut feature automatically shut off the water purifier so that it won’t deliver unpurified water.

Purifies 24 litres per hour

This purifier gives 24 litres per hour filtration capacity which is much higher compared to any other water purifier.
Free external Sediment filter

Free external sedimentary and housing container box. Most of the other brands charges approximately cost Rs. 1000 to Rs.1500 for sediment filter but Pureit gives it free.
Long life filter

Filters run approximately up to 6000 litres which is double that of any other water purifier.

Pureit Vital Max Cons

High maintenance cost:

This is true for most of the RO+UV water purifiers though. Depending on usage GKK(Germ Kill Kit - filters) needs to replace as general maintenance. You need to replace GKK-1 and GKK-2 when the led indicator blinks. The approximate cost of both kits is around Rs. 4100
No TDS display:

No inbuilt TDS meter, which gives details of unpurified and purified water hardness details, just like the inbuilt in Pureit Ultima Water Purifier. You can buy an external TDS meter pen for this.
No UF and MF:

No UF(Ultrafiltration), MF(Microfilteration) were provided. UF and MF are used to remove dead microorganisms bodies that are inactivated to due UV light, whereas the absence of these UF, and MF makes dead microorganism bodies lie in purified water. However, impurities are inactive, not a best practice.

Pureit customer care number

For water purifier service and repair contact Pureit customer support at 1860-210-1000 during working days. However, this is not a toll-free number and you can't make the call from pre-paid mobile with monthly recharge. You have to recharge your phone with a top-up of Rs. 10 or more. I felt this major pain point while contacting Pureit. Another way is to approach on Whatsapp at +919739101344 at any time. Its computerized chatbot offers order GKK, request service, device installation, and complaints services. One more way is through website Pureit official website.

Closing thoughts

Overall, the product does what is designed for. Advanced technologies like RO+UV along with new technologies like FiltraPower, and EcoRecovery, and all these features at just approximately Rs. 14000 to Rs.15000 make it the best in class as well as best in the budget product.
