A. O. Smith water purifier has 5 stages of 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.
Stage 1 – Pre-filter
The Pre-filter is used to remove physical contaminants such as dirt, dust, soil particles, turbidity present in the water. This improves the life of the Sediment filter.
Stage 2 – Sediment filter
The Sediment filter is used to remove fine and coarse physical contaminants present in the water. This improves life of the Silver Activated Post Carbon.
Stage 3 – Silver Activated Post Carbon
Water is passed through Silver Activated Post Carbon which acts as polisher and enhances the taste of water.
Stage 4 – UV Lamp
In this stage water is passed through UV housing wherein UV rays disinfects the water by eliminating waterborne disease causing microorganisms like bacteria and virus making it healthy for drinking.
Stage 5 – UFSS filter (For Hot water only)
In the final stage water is passed through Ultra fine SS filter wherein this filter removes all the particulate and scale matter developed during heating cycle.
How does the A. O. Smith water purifier work?
Introduction
04
UV is a proven disinfection technology used in water purification which delivers microbiologically safe water. The germicidal lamp inside the UV emits ultraviolet energy that has the capacity to alter the nucleic acid (DNA) of viruses, bacteria and cysts so they cannot reproduce and are thereby considered inactivated. The A.O. Smith water purifier incorporating UV purification technology produces germ-free potable water for drinking. Purified water is collected for drinking in a storage tank.
