HomeCare RO repairs existing RO systems including membranes, pumps, filters and leaks, regardless of the original installer, using genuine replacement parts.
Diagnosis and repair of existing RO systems, any brand
Genuine parts, transparent pricing, and a technician who shows up on schedule.
An RO purifier AMC is a prepaid yearly service agreement that covers scheduled preventive maintenance, water quality checks, labour, tank cleaning, and depending on the plan, replacement filters and spare parts. Not every AMC includes the RO membrane or filters, so the first thing to check is whether the plan is basic/labour-only or comprehensive. This guide is for homeowners and businesses in Kochi and nearby Kerala who are comparing a new AMC or reviewing a renewal.
A typical AMC visit may include:
The biggest difference between plans is usually not the visit count. It is whether filters and electrical parts are included or charged separately.
| Plan feature | Basic or labour-only AMC | Comprehensive or advanced AMC |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduled visits | Usually 2 to 3 per year; some providers schedule 3 visits | Usually same frequency, but confirm before buying |
| Labour on repairs | Included in many plans | Included |
| Sediment and carbon filters | Usually not included, or only cleaned | Usually included as per plan |
| RO membrane | Usually excluded; confirm in writing | Often included, but check replacement limit |
| Electrical and mechanical parts | Customer pays for parts | Usually included |
| Water testing and tank cleaning | Usually included | Usually included |
A basic plan keeps the purifier running but does not remove the cost of wear-and-tear parts. A comprehensive plan shifts more of that cost into the annual fee.
A technician usually checks input and output water quality, reads the TDS, and inspects the health of the sediment filter, carbon filter, RO membrane, and UV lamp. The storage tank is cleaned or sanitised, and small faults such as plumbing leaks, a vibrating pump, or a minor pressure drop are identified before they become larger repairs. Filters are replaced only if the plan allows it.
HomeCare RO repairs and maintains water purifiers of any brand, including systems it did not install. The company states that replacement parts follow original specifications, with no generic substitutes on membranes or pumps.
Service frequency is not standard across providers. Some service pages recommend a purifier service every 3 months, others describe 2 to 3 visits a year, and some national plans schedule one visit every 4 months. In Kochi and surrounding areas, borewells, open wells, monsoon silt, and coastal salinity can load the sediment filter faster, so it is worth confirming how many visits are included and whether extra visits are chargeable.
Published Indian purifier service pages report AMC plans from about ₹999 to ₹6,999 depending on the city, provider, and inclusions. A single on-demand service visit is often listed at ₹600 to ₹1,500. A sudden electrical part failure or RO membrane replacement outside a plan can cost ₹1,500 to ₹5,000. The real comparison is not just the annual price, but whether filters and the membrane are inside the plan.
An AMC tends to make more sense for heavy water use, hard water or high TDS, and older systems. For low-use or seasonal purifiers, on-demand service may be cheaper if the system is new and the water is not aggressive.
Check the water source first. A Kochi home fed by a borewell or open well with visible iron or coastal salinity may need filter replacements more often, so a comprehensive plan may be worth the higher annual price. For a newer purifier on low-TDS municipal water, a basic labour-only plan can be enough.
Before signing, ask for a written list of included spares, the number of visits, the RO membrane replacement limit, and whether repeated breakdown visits are free or billable. The same check applies to a commercial RO plant: ask whether membranes, pumps, and dosing parts are included in the contract, or only the scheduled visits.
The most common mistake is buying a basic plan and assuming filters and membranes are covered. Another is ignoring a 3-month service gap because the purifier is working, then paying for an emergency repair. Also check whether the AMC is transferable if you shift home, and whether the provider uses original-specification spares. A second opinion is always available through HomeCare RO for repairs on systems it did not install.

A one-year RO AMC usually includes scheduled preventive visits, labour, water quality testing, tank cleaning, and minor inspection work. Filters and spare parts are included only in comprehensive plans; basic plans may cover labour while charging for parts.
An AMC is not mandatory, but it helps with heavy use, hard water, high TDS, and older systems. For low-use or seasonal purifiers, on-demand service can be cheaper, provided the user does not skip routine cleaning.
Published Indian service pages show AMC plans from about ₹999 to ₹6,999 per year depending on city, provider, and whether filters and the RO membrane are included. A single on-demand visit is often reported at ₹600 to ₹1,500.
A 1 year AMC is a prepaid annual maintenance contract for a water purifier. It typically includes a fixed number of scheduled services, labour, water checks, and tank cleaning, with filter and spare part coverage depending on the plan type.
