What kind of a purifier do you use?

Namaskara. Channagidira?

I have a question. I use an Kent Mineral RO Water purifier for a family of 4. I bought it 8 years ago. I had to spend additional money on extended warranty because the motherboard in the top unit used to fail like clockwork after every 6 months. Their water candles were unnecessarily expensive and I used buy the ones sold in Avenue road and replace them.

The problem is that the machine needs to be to kept switched on. It automatically shuts down when the water is full in the 5L pressurised tank. If switched off, a kind of vacuum developes in the pipes and the machine takes a long time to start filtering the water. Now, there is a lot of waste water being released when the water is getting purified, which I collect to water plants in my house and the apartment, and collect some more to wash my car.

However, I am still not happy with the fact that this machine is wasting a lot of water.

I wanted to know what kind of water purifier you guys are using and what are its repair and service costs and if it wastes a lot of water.
