The True Cost of Clean Water
Buying a high-quality RO water purifier can cost anywhere between ₹12,000 to ₹25,000. But that's just the beginning. In 2025, with rising labor costs and parts prices, maintaining an owned purifier is becoming a headache for many Indian households.
If you're living in a rented apartment in Whitefield or a PG in Marathahalli, renting makes even more sense. Read our guide on the best water purifier for rented apartments for more details.
1. Upfront Investment
Buying: High initial cost (₹15,000+). Money that could be invested elsewhere is locked in a depreciating appliance.
Renting: Zero upfront cost. You only pay a small 100% refundable deposit (usually ₹1,500–₹2,500) and a low monthly subscription starting at ₹299. Check out our affordable rental plans.
2. Annual Maintenance Charges (AMC)
If you own a purifier, you likely pay an AMC of ₹3,000 to ₹5,000 per year. This often doesn't even include the cost of expensive membranes or UV lamps when they fail.
With Droppurity, maintenance is FREE for life. Filter changes, repairs, and labor are all on us. You save ₹4,000+ every single year. This applies whether you're in Electronic City, HSR Layout, or anywhere across Bengaluru.
3. Relocation Stress
Moving houses? An owned purifier requires professional uninstallation and re-installation, costing you ₹1,000 each time. With a rental, relocation is free. We handle the move for you.
