If I add a UV sterilizer, similar to the aquariums to the water exiting the last drum and before being stored. Will this help to kill any remaining hazardous bacteria? | If I add a UV sterilizer, similar to the aquariums to the water exiting the last drum and before being stored.

:Very likely. The effluent from the system I built is, optically, very clear; So, I think UV treatment would be effective at sterilizing the water.Β However, keep in mind that whatever dead bacteria that are left in the water are essentially nutrients that new bacteria (if introduced) would likely feed on. A COD (chemical oxygen demand) test would give an idea about how much nutrient is present. | :Very likely.

:I'm sure any manufacturer of these UV treatment systems would be glad to give you vast quantities of literature to tell you all about it. --[[User:GoodSignal|GoodSignal]] 08:52, 19 November 2008 (UTC) | :I'm sure any manufacturer of these UV treatment systems would be glad to give you vast quantities of literature to tell you all about it. --[[User:GoodSignal|GoodSignal]] 08:52, 19 November 2008 (UTC) |
