yah but what about a few hours of direct sunlight if say a windowed case or resevoir was right in the sun, I feel that would be more than enough to kill most common bacteria. I'm just not convinced that by taking OUT the uv radiation and light would kill the bacteria, it could be something else like the property of the tubes or water but this just seems really ancedotal to me
