Summary:A water disinfecting device has a housing, an inlet, an outlet, a high-power disinfecting light, at least one quartz pipe that carries water, and a reflective surface for increased dosage. By placing multiple quartz pipes side by side, the device can disinfect greater quantities of water, or provide for double exposure of water passing through the pipes. By using a powerful UV light and a reflective surface from the outside of a quartz pipe, the device is capable of disinfecting at a much higher success rate than other disinfecting devices found in the prior art while also allowing for ease of maintenance.
