Frequently Asked Questions

• How does Schoon clean itself?

  Schoon uses OSRAM UV-C LED technology — the same sterilisation method used in hospitals and laboratories. Press the button once, and the UV-C LED activates a 60-second purification cycle that eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and harmful microorganisms from both the water and the inner bottle surface. No chemicals, no filters, no manual scrubbing — ever.

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

  Schoon is equipped with an 800mAh rechargeable battery that powers approximately 30 UV-C purification cycles on a single charge. Charging is done via USB-C — the same cable as most modern smartphones — and takes roughly 2 hours to reach full charge. A single charge comfortably lasts 1–2 weeks under normal daily use.

• Is the UV-C light safe for me to use daily?

  Yes — the UV-C LED is completely sealed inside the lid and only activates when the bottle is closed. You are never directly exposed to the UV-C light during a purification cycle. The bottle is engineered with a safety lock mechanism so the light cannot activate when open. It is safe for daily use by adults and working professionals.

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

  Schoon's UV-C technology is specifically designed to eliminate biological contaminants — bacteria, viruses, and pathogens — not dissolved chemical impurities like TDS, lead, or fluoride. For best results, use Schoon with water that already meets basic quality standards (municipal tap water, filtered water, or packaged water). If your water source has very high TDS, pair it with a point-of-use RO system first.

• Is Schoon worth the price compared to a regular water bottle?

  A regular bottle stores water. Schoon protects it. Every time you refill from an office dispenser, café, or hotel tap, you're trusting water quality you can't verify. Schoon gives you hospital-grade sterilisation on demand — no ongoing filter replacement costs, no subscription, no compromise. For anyone who travels, commutes, or works in shared office spaces, Schoon pays for itself in avoided health risk and peace of mind.
