Now, i'm too lazy to do the actual math (i just got my BS in mathematics, after all) but with the power output of the light, one can easily calculate survivability per GPH (flow).

The question then arises, how much survivability do we need? because the water is recycled through this system, does that mean we can assume that each cycle is a new "kill off"? Or that only the resistant bacteria remain?

I guess we will be answered once someone computes the lethality for the flow rates they describe. (by "they", i mean the producers of these sterilizing devices)
