There's something about an electrical solution that I just like.

But at ~$100, it's out of my price range, where a few dollars of chemicals would do.

So is there any way that we could build a unit ourselves?

The parameters should be as follows:
-it must be encased, to where the UV-C light can't get out. if it means using a 3/4" elbow at each end, that's fine.

-it should have a very low flow restriction.

-it could run on DC or AC.

-A 4 Watt source is apparently more than plenty.

Obviously the lightbulb would sit outside of a clear tube: would acrylic or glass be OK? I'm envisioning a build similar to my airtrap.
