DrinkPrime water purifier is an IoT-enabled customized water purifier that can easily connect to the plumbing system in your kitchen. It comes with a food-grade polypropylene yarn wound with a multi-layer sediment filter, and high dust holding capacity to ensure you get clean and purified drinking water.
Did you know…
- Tap water in majority of the Indian cities is unsafe for consumption?
- Borewell water is probably the safest, but it tastes awful and is not potable.
- Every area has a different water quality – ranging from alkaline to acidic, but most sources of tap water are unsafe.
Over-purified vs under-purified water – Why they are both bad!
Did you know that over-purified water is as dangerous as under-purified water? Traditional water purifiers purify all water the same way irrespective of input water quality providing users with over-purified or under-purified water.
Though under-purified water contains harmful substances, over-purified water deprives your body of the necessary minerals that it usually gets from water.

How does DrinkPrime water purifier work?
To avoid over-purification and under-purification of water, DrinkPrime purifies water using four different filters based on the water quality at various locations. The filtration process is also customized accordingly. Get to know how each filter makes the water safe to drink:
- Sediment Filter: Removes fine, coarse and physical contaminants present in water, improving the life and efficient working of the RO membrane.
- Pre-Carbon Filter: Offers a high surface absorption rate that reduces harmful chemicals including pesticides, volatile organic compounds, residual chlorine, etc. from water.
- RO (Reverse Osmosis) Membrane: Contains a semi-permeable membrane that helps remove TDS and heavy metals like mercury, arsenic, lead, chromium, cadmium, etc. from the water. It also removes microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and cysts
- Post Carbon Filter: This filter comes in the form of granular silver activated carbon (also known as a polisher) that enhances the taste of the water. Post carbon filters remove (by adsorption principle) color, bad odor, bad taste, and organic impurities, chemical elements like pesticides, chlorination by-products (Carcinogenic), etc. from the water. The filters used in a DrinkPrime water purifier contain food-grade natural coconut shell activated carbon with a high iodine value that is custom-made rigorously tested for quality.
What are the key features of DrinkPrime?
DrinkPrime X TWO water purifier customization
The water purifier features a custom sediment filter that removes even the smallest suspended particles, ensuring clean, crystal-clear water.
DrinkPrime water purifier comes in four variants with varied features as stated below.
Input water quality** | Filter Treatment flow | Customized features |
>500 PPM (TDS) > 1 NTU >50 PPM (Cl) | Sediment >> Pre-carbon >> RO >> Post Carbon | It’s a regular running device with a sediment filter (Yarn Type) |
0-300 PPM (TDS) >1 NTU >50 PPM (Cl) | Sediment >>Pre-carbon >>Nano Membrane >> Post Carbon | Nano Membrane is used instead of RO membrane |
300-500 PPM (TDS) <1 NTU >50 PPM (Cl) | Sediment >> Pre-carbon >> RO >>Post Carbon | Silver Sediment Filter (Spun type) is used instead of conventional sediment filters |
>500 PPM (TDS) >1 NTU <50 PPM (Cl) | Sediment >> Pre-carbon >> RO >>Post Carbon | Silver Pre-carbon filter is used instead of a conventional pre- carbon filter |
**Note:
- TDS: Total Dissolved Solids
- NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Unit( i.e. turbidity = presence of suspended particles in water)
- Cl: Chloride:

- You can upgrade the plan based on water consumption (track water consumption using the app) – Pay as you use subscription model
- DrinkPrime sediment filter differs from other sediment filters that are melt-blown cartridges with a low dust holding capacity giving reduced need to clean and maintain
- IoT-enabled, customized DrinkPrime water purifiers will give you perfectly purified water and not “over-purified” or “under-purified” drinking water
- With DrinkPrime, the input water quality (TDS levels ranging from 100 to 2000 PPM and turbidity of 1NTU+), and output water quality are monitored to meet the acceptable TDS levels of 50 to 150 PPM and turbidity level of 1 NTU
- The water purifier health is monitored real-time using IoT to proactively scheduled free maintenance checks
- You can easily monitor and recharge a DrinkPrime water purifier using the mobile app
What are the benefits of using a DrinkPrime water purifier?
- A customized water purifier based on input water quality
- Wall-mountable or can be placed on a countertop
- Purifies up to 15 liters of water in an hour with a storage tank of 8 liters (You’ll get water even if there’s no power!)
- Easy-to-use design with a dimension of 590 x 428 x 330 mm

Frequently asked questions about DrinkPrime water purifiers
How do you recharge a DrinkPrime water purifier?
Once you choose the most suitable DrinkPrime subscription plan, you can decide to recharge monthly, bi-annually, or annually. You can recharge DrinkPrime using the mobile app. The DrinkPrime app also offers the option to top up your subscription plan if you need more water.
How many variants of DrinkPrime water purifiers exist?
There are four DrinkPrime water purifier variants to suit the input water quality in each area in a city. DrinkPrime maps the water quality in every city to identify the most suitable filtration system. The water purifiers are configured by using the perfect filter combination ensuring the right amount of the TDS is present in the output water.
Do DrinkPrime water purifiers meet the recent NGT ruling on RO-based water filtration?
Yes. In areas with TDS below 500 mg/litre, DrinkPrime water purifiers do not use a RO membrane.
