AO Smith vs Pureit (HUL)
Which Water Purifiers should you buy?
AO Smith X2 UV + UF Water Purifier (Non-RO, Municipal Water)
Pureit Classic 23L Gravity Based Water Purifier
Final Verdict: AO Smith X2 UV + UF Water Purifier (Non-RO, Municipal Water)
Why choose AO Smith?
For households that specifically have good, low-TDS municipal water supply, the AO Smith X2 skips RO's water wastage and mineral-stripping entirely — a genuine advantage for the right household. But the "not suitable for borewell or tanker water, TDS below 200 only" restriction is a hard limit, not a soft recommendation — check your actual water TDS before choosing this over an RO purifier.
Why choose Pureit (HUL)?
The Pureit Classic is the better-rated, larger-capacity alternative to the cheapest gravity purifier in our lineup — 23L of storage (versus 10L on the KENT Gold Optima) and a stronger 4.2★ rating, for ₹1,100 more. If you specifically want a big non-electric tank and can live with the manual-refill weight, this is the stronger of our two gravity picks.
