Most water purifier faults have a short list of likely causes, and a surprising number are not faults at all. A partly closed inlet valve, a dead socket, a clogged sediment filter or an expired Pureit germkill kit account for a large share of the calls technicians attend, and each of those is either free to fix or costs a few hundred rupees.
Knowing which is which before you book has two benefits. You occasionally solve it yourself in five minutes, and when you cannot, you can describe the symptom accurately enough that the technician arrives with the correct part rather than returning tomorrow.
The other thing worth knowing is where the money leaks. Membrane replacement is the most expensive routine part on a domestic RO and the most frequently recommended when it is not needed. Ask for input and output TDS to be measured and written down before agreeing to it. If output is still low relative to input, the membrane is doing its job.

Indicative market rates for sanity-checking a quote. Pricing for identical work varies by 40-60% between providers in the same city, which is why collecting more than one quote is worth the two minutes it takes.
| Symptom | Likely cause | Indicative total cost |
|---|---|---|
| No water at all | Inlet valve closed, no power, SMPS failure, or Pureit safety lock | ₹0 - ₹1,400 |
| Very slow flow | Clogged sediment or carbon filter, low input pressure, fouled membrane | ₹150 - ₹3,500 |
| Water tastes or smells bad | Exhausted carbon filter or biofilm in the storage tank | ₹250 - ₹800 |
| Output TDS has risen | Degraded membrane or a seal bypassing the membrane | ₹1,200 - ₹3,500 |
| Purifier runs continuously | Faulty float valve, leaking tank, or failed auto-cut-off | ₹400 - ₹1,500 |
| Leaking from a housing | Perished or crushed o-ring, or an over-tightened housing | ₹100 - ₹500 |
| Noisy pump | Air lock, worn pump, or the pump running dry | ₹1,200 - ₹2,500 |
| UV indicator off | Failed UV lamp or ballast | ₹500 - ₹1,800 |
These are indicative ranges refreshed periodically, not quotations. Local rates vary by city and by provider. Always get a price in writing before work starts.
What's included in RO repair
This is the scope we ask providers to quote against. Holding every quote to the same list is what makes them comparable — otherwise you are choosing the cheapest number rather than the best value.
- On-site diagnosis with input and output TDS measured and recorded before anything is quoted.
- Operating pressure check and pre-filter condition assessment.
- Leak inspection across all housings, joints and the reject line.
- Auto-cut-off and float valve verification, so the unit is not running continuously.
- A written quote for parts before replacement, with old parts shown to you afterwards.
- Post-repair verification: system pressurised, output TDS re-measured, joints re-checked.
Not included
- Replacement parts, which are quoted separately and confirmed by you before fitting.
- Repairs on units whose spares have been discontinued by the manufacturer.
How it works
- 1Tell us what you needOne short form — your city, the job, and how soon you need it. Takes under a minute and costs nothing.
- 2We match you with local providersWe route your request to up to 3 verified providers who actually cover your area, so you are not waiting on someone forty kilometres away.
- 3Compare the quotesThey contact you directly, usually by WhatsApp so you get it in writing. Check what you are quoted against the indicative rates published on this page.
- 4Book whoever you wantYou deal with the provider directly and pay them for the work. There is no obligation to accept any quote.
Check these five things before booking anyone
- Is the inlet tap fully open? A partly closed inlet valve is the single most common 'fault' technicians attend.
- Is the socket live and the adaptor LED on? Test the socket with something else before assuming the unit failed.
- Is building water pressure adequate? Most RO units need roughly 5 psi and will not start below it — common on upper floors.
- When did you last change the sediment filter? A clogged pre-filter mimics almost every flow-related fault.
- Is it a Pureit that stopped completely? The germkill kit has almost certainly expired and engaged the safety lock. That is designed behaviour, not a breakdown.
Important
How to avoid paying for a membrane you did not need
Ask the technician to measure input TDS and output TDS, and to write both on the slip, before he recommends anything. The membrane's entire job is the gap between those two numbers. If input is 600 ppm and output is 90 ppm, the membrane is rejecting 85% and is fine — whatever its age, and whatever the indicator light says.
A membrane genuinely needs replacing when output TDS has climbed toward input over successive readings, which is why keeping a simple log matters. Date, input TDS, output TDS, parts replaced, amount paid. Households that keep one are noticeably harder to overcharge, because a vague diagnosis has to survive contact with a record.
When a repair stops making sense
A purifier is worth repairing when the fault is a consumable, a pump, an SMPS, a valve or a lamp. All of those are individually replaceable at modest cost on any mainstream unit, and none of them says anything about the machine's remaining life.
Replacement starts to make more sense when the unit is over eight to ten years old and needs a membrane plus pump plus tank together, when spares for the model have been discontinued, or when the tank holds a persistent smell that sanitisation does not clear. At that point you are spending half the price of a new purifier on a machine with limited life left. A good technician will tell you this; ask directly if he does not.

What "verified" means
It is a specific claim, so here is exactly what it covers. Every provider on this network has:
- Government photo ID and address verified at onboarding
- Business registration or GST number on file where applicable
- References checked from at least three completed jobs
- Agreed to publish itemised pricing before starting work
- Agreed to record input and output TDS on every service slip
- Removed from the network after two unresolved customer complaints
Verification covers identity, registration and references. It is not a guarantee of workmanship on any individual job, and we are not a party to the contract between you and the provider — you engage and pay them directly. If a job goes wrong, tell us: providers are removed from the network after two unresolved complaints.
