Design Specifications
PurAll is a low-cost and simple disinfection device designed by Easol to satisfy the chlorine demand by automatically leaving an adequate level of chlorine in the distribution system. The device is a flow-through type disinfection system that generates Hypochlorous Acid only when dissolved and disintegrated in water. It is a water purification device which contains an online chlorine CPU (Chlorine processing unit) with replaceable water purification cartridges, for continuous operation. This patented technology is chemically approved and certified to NSF/ ANSI 60 standard for drinking water. Furthermore, it is completely soluble in water and no traces are left. These filters come in 4 different model which has the same function but differ according to end Life, which indicates the time to replace the cartridge. The product also comes with a chlorine testing kit.
Technical Support
The product is installed by the manufacturers or their distributors. The user can contact the distributor or manufacturer for technical support if required.
Replacement Components
PurAll cartridges contain disinfection chemical which can only be replaced through the manufacturers.
Lifecycle
The life cycle for this product varies with the individual models. Nonetheless, the life cycle ranges from 1,25,000 -3,00,000 liters of water, at 1 ppm dosage.
Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters
The designer specified performance targets include automation, no power use, durable, portable, low-cost, and completely soluble in water with no traces left.
Vetted Performance Status
PurAll has been tested, approved, and recommended by different government organizations of India like; Empaneled by Maharashtra State Water Supply and Sanitation Department (WSSD) Tested at State Health Laboratories in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu. Recommended by R. Mashelkar Technical Committee, Ministry of Drinking Water& Sanitation, Government of India.

– These two things in the table are confusing: “Dosage unit per No. Liters: 1 ppm”, and ” Target Free Chlorine Residue (mg/L): 0.2″ . Does this mean that it is dosed with 1 ppm, but the expected residual is 0.2 ppm? It is weird that they are in different (though equivalent) units – ppm and mg/L.
– It seems that this is Tablet form, not “tablet or liquid”
– This is confusing: “Trichloroisocyanurate tablets which generate hypochlorous acid when dissolved (0.2)” Is that 0.2% chlorine?
