Re: Sunlight Sterilization of Water
I have read them turtle, when they say UV sterilization they are not talking about the UV in sunlight, they are talking about the UV from a germicidal lamp. Huge difference! I have built several UV sterilizers for my own use and for commercial use, even with germicidal lamps it is difficult to do, the water must be filtered so no particles bigger than the organisms is in the water. It still takes time to kill bacteria, protozoans are harder to kill and require much more time. A germicidal lamp can blind you fairly quickly, it can kill you, burn you severely, UV we get on the surface of the earth is not any were close to being as strongly germicidal. I see no way to use the UV in sunlight to sterilize water from a non-potable source.
