Commercial RO water purifiers are sized by litres per hour (LPH) of purified water output, ranging from 25 LPH for small offices to over 100 LPH for schools, factories, and hospitals. A 25–50 LPH system suits a small café or office of 10–30 people and costs approximately Rs. 15,000–Rs. 25,000. A 100 LPH system suits a school or mid-sized factory and costs approximately Rs. 35,000–Rs. 60,000.
- Capacity range: 25 LPH (small office/café) to 100+ LPH (schools, factories, hospitals); some industrial systems exceed 1,000 LPH
- Sizing rule of thumb: Estimate 1–2 litres per person per day for drinking, plus additional volume for tea/coffee stations and kitchen use
- Purification stages: Sedimentation filtration, carbon filtration, and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, removing contaminants from microorganisms to dissolved chemical residues
- System types: Wall-mounted (limited space, smaller offices), floor-standing (larger businesses, schools, hospitals), and customisable systems (specialised water quality needs)
- Cost comparison: A business spending Rs. 8,000–Rs. 10,000 monthly on bottled water typically recovers a commercial RO purifier's cost within 6–9 months
- Maintenance: Commercial systems use easy-to-replace filters; service intervals of every 3–6 months are standard for continuous-use systems
