Pete, The short answer: UV light produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in water, or ozone (O3) in air, and either of these products is germicidal. If that 'UV gizmo' is a quality unit, then it should work well.
I got mine from Jim Nigra, 818-889-6877. Coast Filtration (factory 714-990-4602) model UVMB-6, 6 watts, 12-18 months life, 1 gal/min, 2.5" dia x 13" long, 1/4" tube fittings, was $70. Intended for use between your prefilter and main filter (it keeps germs from breeding in your water filter, too.) --Bill At 08:51 PM 6-20-98 -0400, Pete wrote: >Hi list > > Anyone know how ultraviolet light manages to kill germs? > What exactly are the mechanics involved?
