Re: LED's used to treat contaiminated water
The light from the current generation of LED's are not intense enough to sterilize water at flow rates for a typical house. It will be some time before they can compete will current UV fluorescent bulbs. Public water systems still rely on chemical sterilization because the can sterilize the whole distribution system. UV sterilizes at the point of treatment. A water softener and carbon filter can remove allot of the bad stuff in public water. Water is natures best solvent. Once something is in it, It's hard to get it out.
