Hi Folks!

Here is news of a commercial UV water purifier that might be of use.

Wonder if they actually bubble ozone into it also, like they do in the
aledged cure for AIDS where living blood is passed through a quartz
tube and exposed to both ozone and high intensity UV.

That UV irradiated blood is then readmitted and mixed with the rest of
the blood, the idea being that it continues to re-radiate the UV and
kill further infestations.

UV Waterworks, which was invented by Ashok Gadgil, a scientist with
Berkeley Lab's Environmental Energy Technologies Division, is ideally
suited for emergency situations.

"Unlike other ultraviolet-based water purifiers, UV Waterworks does
not require pressurized water-delivery systems and electrical
outlets," says Gadgil. "It is designed to rely on gravity for water
flow which means it can be used with any source of water."

Needing electricity only to operate its small UV lamp and automatic
shutoff valve, UV Waterworks can be powered by a car battery or a
60-watt solar cell.
About the size of a microwave oven and weighing seven kilograms (15
pounds), it can disinfect water at the rate of four gallons per
minute, similar to the flow from a typical American bathtub spout.

Passing water through ultraviolet light inactivates the DNA of
pathogens and purifies the water at a cost of about five U.S. cents
for every 1,000 gallons.
