Frequently Asked Questions

• How does Schoon v2 sterilise water?

  Schoon v2 uses a 275nm UV-C LED — the same sterilisation technology used in hospitals and laboratories — to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and viruses from your water and the bottle's inner surface in seconds. No chemicals, no filters, no manual scrubbing.

• What's new in Schoon v2 compared to the original Schoon?

  Schoon v2 adds double-wall insulated 316L stainless steel to keep your water hot or cold for longer, a built-in temperature sensor that shows real-time water conditions, a larger and more responsive display, and a bigger 800mAh battery that lasts up to 30 days on a single charge.

• How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?

  Schoon v2 is powered by an 800mAh rechargeable battery that lasts up to 30 days of regular use on a single charge. It charges via USB Type-C fast charging, so you can use the same cable as most modern smartphones.

• Is the UV-C light safe to use every day?

  Yes. The UV-C LED sits sealed inside the lid and only activates during a closed purification cycle, so you're never directly exposed to the light. It's suitable for daily use by everyone in the family.

• Does Schoon v2 filter out TDS, heavy metals, or dissolved impurities?

  Schoon v2's UV-C technology targets biological contaminants — bacteria, viruses, and pathogens — not dissolved chemical impurities like TDS, lead, or fluoride. For best results, use it with water that already meets basic quality standards, such as municipal tap water, filtered water, or packaged water.
