This is how UV water purification works
Water purification using ultraviolet light is the most effective way to purify water from harmful microorganisms. UV rays penetrate the bacteria in the water and destroy the microorganisms by destroying their DNA. This means that the microorganisms cannot multiply and thus become completely harmless to us. UV cleaning removes 99.99% of all microorganisms without using chemicals, and without changing the taste of the water. If the water is cloudy, filter with a filter.
