SECTION 01 — HOW IT WORKS
You don't buy water. You don't buy a machine.
The real choice a Pokhara kitchen makes. Look across — only one of them ever stops being your job.
You just buy the result.
From hello to every day
You leave your name
On the launch list, on this page. We message you when we reach your area — the list goes first. Nothing to pay, nothing to sign.
Install day
About an hour. The unit stands beside your sink — no drilling unless you ask for it. We test every joint for leaks, write down your water readings with you, and sign the agreement on paper. Your copy stays with you.
Every day
Open the tap. Clean water, as much as your family drinks. Nothing to order, nothing to carry.
Care visits
We come on schedule. Filters are changed by their real condition, the pipes are disinfected, the readings are logged. Something wrong in between? Tell us and we come.
If you ever stop
We collect the unit — it was always ours. The agreement you signed says exactly what happens to your deposit. If we drilled any holes, we fill them.

Questions about your kitchen
We rent our home. Can we still get it?
Yes. The unit normally stands on the floor or a shelf beside your sink — no drilling. If you'd rather have it on the wall, that needs your landlord's okay, and if we ever take the unit back we fill the holes.
Our water comes from a rooftop tank and the pressure is low. Will it work?
The unit has its own pump built in, so it does not rely on the pressure from your tank the way many purifiers do. We still measure your water pressure as soon as we arrive on install day — before anything is fitted or signed. If the flow in your kitchen would be slow, we tell you then, and you decide.
What happens when the power goes out?
The purifier stops. Its pump and its UV lamp both run on electricity, and there is no storage tank — that is the price of never drinking water that has been sitting. So keep a jug or two filled, the way many kitchens here already do. When the power is back, open the tap and it works again.
What if something breaks or tastes wrong?
Tell us and we come. It's our equipment — repairs and filter changes are part of the service, and we check the unit and log your water readings at every visit anyway.
SECTION 02 — WHAT IT COSTS
Every number, before you ask.
No "call for price". This is the whole of it — the same figures that go into your written agreement.
Rs 1,100 a month is about Rs 37 a day — less than the price of one 20-litre jar.
Also inside the monthly fee: VAT, and as much water as your family drinks. Not inside it: the electricity the unit uses, your own tap water — and damage from misuse, which the agreement leaves with the customer.

Prices include VAT. These are our launch prices — the figures in your signed agreement are the ones that count.

Send on WhatsAppQuestions about the money
Is it cheaper than jar water?
For many homes, no — and we won't pretend otherwise. If your family goes through about five 20-litre jars a week or more, KORA costs about the same or less than you pay now. If you use two or three, you would pay more than you do today. What you'd be paying for is never carrying a jar, never running out, and water that is looked after on a schedule.
Is there a contract?
Yes — a written service agreement with a minimum term of 36 months. It says what you pay, what we owe you, and what happens to your deposit: leave early and the part you've paid is not returned; stay to the end and it comes back when the unit is returned in working order. You get the full text before you decide, and you keep your own signed copy. Read it first; sign only if you're comfortable.
Will my monthly fee go up later?
Our plan is no. The amounts for all 36 months are written into your agreement, and if prices ever rise, we intend that to apply to new customers only — homes that joined at launch keep paying Rs 1,100 when they renew. The exact wording is with our lawyer now; what your signed agreement says is what counts.
How do I pay each month?
Fonepay QR, Khalti, eSewa or cash — whichever is easiest for your family.
SECTION 03 — INSIDE THE PURIFIER
Five stages, ending in light
Water moves through five stages before it reaches your glass — and it is purified the moment you open the tap, with no storage tank for it to go stale in. The last stage is ultraviolet light, not chemicals.
We have no laboratory report yet, and we won't pretend we do. Once the first units are installed, water from a real Pokhara kitchen — taken before and after the purifier — goes to an independent laboratory. The report will be published on this page, whatever it says.

DRAWN TO SCALE
How small is 0.01 micron?
The green shape is one bacterium, about 1 micron wide. The dot inside the ring is one hole in the stage-04 membrane, drawn at the same scale. Water gets through. The bacterium does not fit.
A human hair is about 70 microns across — at this scale it would be seventy times wider than the bacterium.
THE REAL THING
Not a studio shot.
No studio render and no stock photo — this space is for the real unit, photographed beside a real Pokhara sink.
Photos of the first Pokhara units go up here as soon as they arrive.
SECTION 04 — THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT
We'll be the ones at your door.
KORA isn't a faraway brand. We're a small team — we install every unit ourselves, and we keep coming back.
When something needs fixing, the person who comes is someone you've already met. That's the difference between a product and a promise.

SECTION 05 — THE KORA PROMISE
Three things we will always do
Honest numbers
At install and at every visit we measure your water — dissolved solids, pressure — and you see every reading. One honest note: our filter keeps the natural minerals, so that number barely moves. It is not a safety score, and we won't pretend it is. No tricks, no fear-selling, no fake demos.
Never neglected
Visits are on our calendar, not triggered by breakdowns — every month to begin with. Filters are changed by their real condition. If we ever change the rhythm, we tell you first. Never "call us if it breaks".
Truly accountable
The machine is ours, always. If it's not working, it's our problem — not yours.
SECTION 06 — THE JAR ROUTINE
The 20-litre habit every kitchen knows
Order it. Wait for it. Lift it. Run out at the wrong time — and trust that this refill is as clean as the last one.

KORA CARE household survey, Pokhara, June–July 2026 (n=75)
COUNT YOUR OWN JARS
What a year of jars really adds up to
Every jar of your year — one mark each
AT YOUR JAR PRICE THAT IS ABOUT RS 650 A MONTH
Your numbers, not ours. In our survey most jar households said Rs 50–60 a jar, about 3 a week. Our price is further up this page — put the two side by side and decide.
SECTION 07 — QUESTIONS, ANSWERED PLAINLY
Before you ask the neighbours
Straight answers, in plain words. Anything else — write to us, a person replies.
Know someone who carries jars up the stairs? Send them this page.
Do I have to buy the purifier?
No — that's the point. The machine stays ours, always. Filter changes, repairs and our care visits are all inside your monthly subscription. If it's not working, it's our problem, not yours.
How much does it cost?
Rs 4,900 on installation day — that covers the installation and your first month. Then Rs 1,400 a month for months 2 to 13 (Rs 1,100 subscription + Rs 300 towards a refundable Rs 3,600 deposit), and Rs 1,100 a month from month 14. Filters, repairs and care visits are included, VAT is included, and there is no machine to buy. The same figures go into your written agreement.
What happens after I join the launch list?
We message you when we are installing in your area. The first batch is small and the launch list is called first. Before anything is signed you get the agreement and every price in writing, and you are free to say no. There is nothing to pay to be on the list.
Will you test my water to show me it's dirty?
No. We'll take a TDS reading if you ask, but we won't sell you with it: a TDS pen counts dissolved minerals, not germs, and our membrane keeps the minerals in — so the number barely moves, and that is normal. (A big drop is what reverse-osmosis machines show, because they strip the minerals out too.) And we never do the "brown water" show — that colour comes from the metal rods rusting under electric current, not from your water. Proving safety is a laboratory's job: once our first units are installed, water from a real Pokhara kitchen — taken before and after the purifier — goes to an independent laboratory, and the report will be published on this page.
When and where do you launch?
Pokhara — first installs begin this winter, after Tihar 2026. The first batch is small and we install a few homes at a time, so the launch list gets priority.
Other purifiers say 7 or 9 stages. Why five?
Count what each stage stops, not how many there are. Many long stage-lists belong to reverse-osmosis machines: RO strips minerals out, so extra stages are added afterwards to put minerals and taste back — and RO sends part of your water down the drain. Pokhara's municipal water is naturally low in dissolved solids, so it doesn't need RO. Our five: two sediment stages, a coconut-shell carbon block for taste and smell, an ultrafiltration membrane for bacteria and parasites, and UV light as the final guard. No storage tank, no waste water.
Our jar water seems fine — why change?
Maybe it is — but quality varies batch to batch, and you can't see it. With KORA you never lift a 20-kg jar again, never run out on a festival morning, and never wait for a delivery: the water is simply there, at your own tap.
