Works well, but you must have some patience.
I have been using non-electric purifiers due to space constraints in my kitchen and I switched from HUL's pureit to Tata Swatch due to the simpler design of the latter. My first opinion was that Swatch was somehow an inferior clone of Pureit. However, though both of them functions in a similar manner, they are entirely different technologies. Pureit has better quality plastics, but Swatch works much more flawlessly. The product assembly and disassembly is much simpler than pureit, but you need to clean it more frequently.There are two meshes which should be cleaned weekly and the tanks should be cleaned once in a month. Both of them are good for municipal water, but they are not fit for hard-water treatment or for removal of chlorine. So which one is better? Swatch is slightly better, due to its simplicity.Swatch does not overflow, if you use it properly. There is an indicator in the side of the upper and lower tanks. When you first pour water into it, fill till the top tank reaches the red level. Then, from the next time onward, see how much water is left in the bottom tank and fill the top tank accordingly. If the water in the lower tank reaches the red mark, fill the top tank till it touches the red mark. I find that it is easier if you just empty out the bottom tank whenever you pour water into the top tank. This ensures that the purifier would never overflow.When I first used it, the water that came out had a deep brown colour, but it cleared up soon after that. Another problem is that sometimes the flow rate decreases due to air present inside the mesh and the bulb, you can clear it using the bellow. The instruction manual has clear directions for this.So overall, I think that it works well, but it is not a fit-and-forget gadget.

Too much hassle
Firstly it was too much hassle to set it up and secondly it needs to be cleaned every week so it has to be opened and fixed again everytime. The item that i received was defective and the water kept leaking out all the time resulting in mess in my kitchen hence had to return it. The product is decent as per the cost only thing is you have to be patient to open, clean and set it up every time.

Good for filtering municipality water
The only part that came in sealed packing was the tata swachh bulb.Assembling was easy. I get muncipality water at home and the filtration is effective for me.overall good product if you have regular supply of municipal water.

I'm satisfied with the product, don't know about the service.
Using since two months. The water seems pretty clean- I've even tested it with dirty looking water and it purifies it well. But yeah, at least your water source should be moderately clean from before for daily purification, else the ultra filter inside will go bad soon. I wash the upper filterbag in 2 weeks coz I live alone. Else you would have to clean it once a week. It looks a bit dirty even after a day, but the quality doesn't degrade.The installation was easy but they should've provided with a wrench, at least a plastic one, to tighten the tap. Coz it was leaky at first and i could not diagnose the problem. Even the customer care didn't help much on that- their agent didn't visit even after my complaint. I tightenet the tap nut later and fixed it myself. Otherwise, the product is a good bang for the buck, even quality wise.

Good Product
Happy with the purchase. Great product at a very affordable price and it's very helpful that Tata still has non-electric water purifiers, as in many scenarios it isn't possible to have an electric socket right next to the water taps.It would be really helpful if in future this product came with a separate stand of its own so it will be easier to place it anywhere.

Excellent product . Provision of spanner to tighten tap bolt will of immense help
Manufacturers should provide a spanner. Because tightening of tap is difficult without a spanner. Bolting tap with hands is not sufficient to make it water leak proof. I had to tighten bolt using a steel spanner then leakage from tap area stopped

Nice Product
this water purifier is good and nice looking. I had to clean its filter bulb every week. I was having doubts while reading reviews before buying, some say its filter bulb stops working after some days. its true , but u have to clean the filter every week with the pressure pump provided with it. recommended for daily use..
