Brand: Havells
Alkaline RO with a corner-friendly design
Our editorial score
Very good — recommended
Alkaline-water buyers who also care how the appliance looks.
If you want alkaline water, Havells' implementation is the most flexible — the pH boost is adjustable rather than fixed, so you can find a level you actually like drinking instead of accepting whatever the cartridge delivers. The three-year membrane warranty and the design are both better than the category norm.
The same honesty applies as with every alkaline unit here: buy this for taste preference, not for the health claims circulating online.
Every condition below is derived from this product's published specifications and from how it compares with the water purifiers we track — so you can check each one against your own room, supply or budget rather than take our word for it.
Your supply runs above 2,000 ppm TDS
The membrane is rated to 2,000 ppm. Feed it more and it will not fail dramatically — it will die early and quietly, and you will be buying membranes annually. Check your worst-season reading, not your average one.
Purifiers for high-TDS supply →Water wastage matters to you
The brand does not publish a recovery figure, so there is no way to know how many litres go to drain per litre purified. Only 2 of the 26 water purifiers we track publish this at all.
High-recovery purifiers →Low running cost is a priority
Consumables and routine service run about ₹4,000 a year, which is in the most expensive quarter of the water purifiers we track. Over five years that puts total ownership near ₹39,990.
Sort the database by five-year cost →Fair transparency. This is separate from our review score above — it measures how well documented, how supportable and how expensive to own this water purifier is, scored on 6 of 7 axes by formula, with no manual override. See the methodology.

Specifications are from manufacturer literature and were checked at the last price-verification date. Brands occasionally revise stage counts, tank sizes and warranty terms without changing the model name — confirm against the current listing before purchasing.
A trusted electricals major whose purifiers punch above their weight on design and on genuinely useful engineering — Havells' revitaliser and corner-mount designs solve real kitchen problems. The Aqua S hot-and-ambient dispenser range is a standout.
