Introduction

UV is a proven disinfection technology used in water purification which delivers micro-biologically safe water. The germicidal lamp inside the UV emits ultraviolet energy that has the capacity to alter the nucleic acid (DNA) of viruses and bacteria so they cannot reproduce and are thereby considered inactivated. The A. O. Smith X2Neo / X2Neo+ Water Purifier incorporating UV purification technology produces germ-free potable water for drinking. Purified water is collected for drinking in a storage tank/container (Only for the X2Neo+ model).

How does the A. O. Smith X2Neo / X2Neo+ Water Purifier work?
A. O. Smith X2Neo / X2Neo+ Water Purifier has 5 stages of the purification system, wherein the water is passed through the various stages and progressively filtered to get purified water which is stored in the inbuilt storage tank (Only for the X2Neo+ model).

Stage 1 and Stage 2 – SCB Max Combination filter
The filter is a combination of a Sediment filter and a Carbon block. Sediment filters are used to remove physical contaminants such as dirt, dust, soil particles, and turbidity present in the water and Carbon block reduces harmful chemicals including pesticides, volatile organic compounds, residual chlorine etc. It also adsorbs bad taste and odour causing organic compounds from water.

Stage 3 – UV lamp (Dual pass)
In this stage, water is passed through UV housing wherein UV rays disinfects the water by eliminating water-borne disease-causing micro-organisms like bacteria and virus making it healthy for drinking.

Stage 4 – SAPC (Silver Activated Post Carbon)
In this stage, SAPC acts as a polisher and enhances the taste of water.

Stage 5 – Ultra Shield filter
This is the additional stage of purification to provide clear water.
