Which Boon Water Purifier Is Right for You? Tap, Homie, Homie Pro or Tall

The right Boon water purifier depends on three things: your water’s TDS, where you want the purifier to sit, and whether you need hot or cold water. Tap hides under the sink, Homie and Homie Pro go on the wall with Water Profiles (Homie Pro adds instant hot water), Tall is a freestanding unit with hot, cold and ambient water for large families and offices, and if your TDS is already low you may not need RO at all.

Who Boon is

Boon is a water-technology company founded in 2013 by ex-IIT Kanpur engineers. It is backed by the Technology Development Board (Govt. of India), NITI Aayog and Roca, and its systems run in 4,000+ organisations and 400+ hotels across nine countries. Boon Labs, the in-house research and development team, works on the purification and monitoring that now go into the home range.

Two things set the buying experience apart. Installation and service are done by Boon’s own team, not a third-party agency. And home products come with a 10-day money-back guarantee, so you can live with the water before you commit.

The hotel and office work matters for a home buyer in a practical way. Purifiers that run all day in commercial kitchens and pantries have to be reliable and easy to service, and the same team that looks after those systems now installs and looks after the home range. When you compare Boon with other brands, ask every seller the same questions: who installs it, who services it, how the purifier tells you a filter needs changing, and what happens if you are not happy in the first few days.

Start with your water, not the product

Before you compare models, find out what comes out of your tap. TDS (total dissolved solids) is the single number that decides whether you need RO.

• High TDS (common with borewell and tanker water): you need RO. Boon’s RO purifiers are rated for input up to 2000 TDS, which matches the BIS IS 10500 permissible limit where there is no alternative source.
• Moderate TDS, above the BIS acceptable limit of 500 mg/L: RO is usually the right call for taste and dissolved solids.
• Low TDS, typically treated municipal supply comfortably within 500 mg/L: you may not need RO. Our guide on whether you need RO if your TDS is below 200 helps you decide.

Check typical TDS for your pincode, then confirm with a meter at your own tap, because the number can change between a society’s supply and a borewell top-up.

Pick Tap or Tap UF if…

Pick Boon Tap if you have a modular kitchen and want nothing on the wall or the counter except a dedicated faucet. The purifier sits in the cabinet below the counter. It uses UltraOsmosis RO rated for input up to 2000 TDS, stores 8 litres, and WaterAI monitoring tells you what is going on inside. It comes with free installation, a 2-year warranty and a 10-day money-back guarantee, from ₹23,500 at the time of writing.

Tap is not for you if the cabinet below your sink is damp, full or missing, or if you want profile buttons and a display at eye level. In those cases a wall unit is simpler.

Pick Boon Tap UF if your TDS is already low. It has no RO stage, so it does not reduce dissolved solids. That is the point: on a low-TDS municipal supply, RO removes minerals you may not need to remove. Test your water first. If the TDS is high, or your supply mixes in borewell or tanker water, choose an RO model instead.

Pick Homie if…

Pick Boon Homie if you want a wall-mounted RO that does more than purify. Homie runs UltraOsmosis purification (sediment pre-filtration, carbon for chlorine and chemical taste, an RO membrane rated for input up to 2000 TDS, and in-line LED UV before the tank) at 20 litres per hour into an 8-litre tank. Then you choose the water:

• Three Water Profile buttons: Active (after exercise and mornings), Daily (balanced, for everyday drinking and cooking) and Bev (water meant for brewing coffee and tea). One press, no app needed.
• Mineral Enhancers, each on its own cartridge separate from the main filter: Balance, Uplift and Reboot, for taste and mineral profile.
• WaterAI monitoring of input TDS, output TDS, temperature and filter health, with a cove light that shows alerts at a glance.
• Patented manual filling, so you can draw stored, already-purified water by hand during a power cut. Purification itself still needs power.

Homie is ₹21,900 at the time of writing, with free installation by Boon’s own team, free shipping, a 2-year warranty and a 10-day money-back guarantee. It suits most homes, including renters, because it comes down cleanly when you move.

Homie is not for you if you need hot or chilled water from the purifier, if you want the unit hidden under the counter, or if your supply is above 2000 TDS.

Pick Homie Pro if…

Pick Boon Homie Pro if you want three things on top of Homie:

• A stainless-steel storage tank, with a stainless-steel nozzle.
• Instant hot water, heated as it is dispensed rather than stored hot, for tea, instant food and warm water through the day.
• Track, per-person profiles: each family member gets a user ID in the app, can set a daily goal, and presses Track on the unit to switch person.

It has five buttons (Active, Daily, Bev, Hot and Track) and everything Homie does, including free installation by Boon’s own team and a 2-year warranty, at ₹25,900 at the time of writing.

Homie Pro has no cold water. If you need chilled water from the purifier, it is not the right choice; Tall is.

Pick Tall if…

Pick Boon Tall if you have a large family or an office, and want hot, cold and ambient water from one freestanding unit. Tall is a freestanding RO that purifies at 60 litres per hour, which suits households and teams that draw a lot of water through the day. It is ₹55,000 at the time of writing.

Before you order, measure the spot you have in mind and check that there is a socket, a water point and a drain nearby, as you would for any freestanding unit. Ask Boon for the space Tall needs and how it connects to your supply, so the installation visit goes smoothly.

Tall is not for you if you have a small kitchen or a small household. A freestanding unit needs floor space, and a family of three or four is usually well served by Homie or Homie Pro on the wall. If you only need hot water and not cold, Homie Pro does that from the wall for less than half the price at the time of writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Boon water purifier should I buy?

Start with your TDS. If it is low, Tap UF may be enough and you may not need RO. For RO, choose Tap if you want the purifier hidden under the sink, Homie for a wall-mounted unit with Water Profiles, Homie Pro if you also want instant hot water and Track, and Tall for hot, cold and ambient water in a large family or office.

What is the difference between Boon Homie and Homie Pro?

Homie Pro does everything Homie does and adds three things: a stainless-steel storage tank, instant hot water heated as it is dispensed, and Track, which gives each family member their own profile and daily goal in the app. Homie Pro has five buttons instead of three. Neither model dispenses cold water. Homie is ₹21,900 and Homie Pro ₹25,900 at the time of writing.

Does any Boon purifier give cold water?

Yes, Boon Tall dispenses hot, cold and ambient water. It is a freestanding RO that purifies at 60 litres per hour and suits large families and offices, at ₹55,000 at the time of writing. Homie gives room-temperature water and Homie Pro adds instant hot water, but neither has cold water.

Do I need an RO purifier if my TDS is low?

Not always. If your supply is treated municipal water comfortably within the BIS IS 10500 acceptable limit of 500 mg/L, RO may remove minerals you do not need to remove. Test your TDS at the tap first. Boon Tap UF has no RO stage and is meant for low-TDS supplies. If your water is high in TDS or mixed with borewell or tanker water, choose RO.

Who installs Boon water purifiers?

Boon’s own installation and service team installs its purifiers, not a third-party agency. Installation is free on Tap, Homie and Homie Pro, which also carry a 2-year warranty, and home products come with a 10-day money-back guarantee. Have a water point, drain and socket ready near the chosen spot to keep installation day simple.

What TDS can Boon RO purifiers handle?

Boon Tap and Boon Homie use RO membranes rated for input up to 2000 TDS, which matches the BIS IS 10500 permissible limit where no alternative source is available. Homie Pro shares Homie’s purification. If your supply is above 2000 TDS, talk to Boon before you buy, as these membranes are not rated for it.
