I got a Philips WP 3890 water purifier as a gift. I thought I
was lucky to get such a valuable and concerned gift.
My problems started when I decided to install it at my home. I
called up the Philips support and rose a request for installation. The support
team sent a person for installation. He installed the device. Surprisingly, the
device initiated but no water is coming out. The person left without fixing the
problem.
After several calls the Philips team sent another engineer to my
place. He studied the situation and confirmed that the pressure for the water
inflow is not sufficient.
He suggested to install a booster pump which regulates the water
flow. I inquired about the device. It costs around INR 3000/-.
I made some search in the internet and finally agreed to his
proposal and installed the booster pump.
The device is working fine.
About the Device
Philips WP 3890 water purifier has a flow rate of 1.2 litres per
minute. It has 3 purification stages like- Pre-filter purification, activated
carbon purification (sediment filter) and Ultra-violet purification. Its new UV
(PLS) technology destroys known waterborne viruses. It comes with user
replaceable filter which can be replaced whenever indicated by purifier system.
Its PureProtect Lock feature locks the down the Purifier if the filter is not
replaced on time. Its other feature include PureFlush that automatically flushes
all internal pipes and the UV chamber after every filter change.

Conclusion
The best part about it is that at all times, only pure water
will be released from the purifier, i.e. if 3000 liters are reached and the
candle not changed, then the purifier stops releasing water, unlike Eureka
which will still keep pouring impure water. Now some may find this
inconvenient, but we found this a very good feature as a purifier must only
provide pure water and not impure water.
