Steve,I believe its a great idea, I ordered this item but the quality is very poor in my opinion. The directions are a little difficult to grasp, also i said the same thing in a review to amazon. Check out some others UV sanitizers before you purchase this item. Good Luck!!

They say uv light kills 99.99% of bacteria; period! I scan everything I have to scan; every few days!!!

This product works great on mold! Obviously you need to find the source of the mold, but the ozone feature kills mold, mildew & bacteria. My mold problem was so bad in the basement that we could smell it 2 floors up. There is no more mold growth & now the basement is the freshest room in the house - this product is worth every penny!!

Not sure if the all purpose cleaner kills germs. We have found a large selection of Method cleaners at Target for a very reasonable price.

It would depend on the size of the room (see ans from Phil B.) I think it would also depend on how much the room was used and by how many people. It uses a bulb that emits UV-C light to "kill or inactivate airborne bacteria." Opening doors and/or windows will affect performance too. The replaceable bulb is estimated to last 5000 hours.

UV light ranges in wavelength from about 250 nm to 400 nm, that said only the wavelength closer to 400 nm is purple, dont confuse this with the more familiar black light bulbs, which only go down to 450 nm and appear purple. in order to sterilize the water the UV must be at or below 350 nm which is below the limit humans can see, so what you are seeing is the glow of the gas in the bulb which appears whitish with a blue haze, This means the bulb is designed to act as a stetilizer and not to make your old black velvet 70 s Era posters glow all groovy.... also the invisible UV can cause a sunburn on your cornea so limit any exposure, this effect isnt instant it takes time and causes eye itch...

You are thinking of black lights that show stains. This is a UV light that kills germs, not the same as black lights.

Most plants don't need UV light. In fact, UV light actually damages plants (however, it is supposed to increase certain nutrients and chemicals in plants, such as anthocyanins on blue tomatoes and capcaisin in hot peppers).

Yes, you can use a typical toothbrush UV sanitizer for your sinus or throat tips they will not be damaged by the UV exposure. However, benefits of UV disinfection are dependent upon direct "line-of-sight" exposure. The area inside the bulb may not receive adequate UV exposure for proper disinfection. Many UV sanitizers have mirrored surfaces designed to reflect and broaden UV exposure which can help increase exposure. There are several other low cost natural sanitizing options including soaking the tips in white vinegar or a mixed solution containing 2 tsp. baking soda combined with one cup (8 oz.) of water Health Solutions Medical Products Corporation

No. I had to buy a few to get one that fit and was straight and not too long or wide. One that I had was angled so the bristles would go into the compartment where the uv light is. One was too wide to sit properly and one was too long. I got a cheap tooth brush that was straight and fits now. I don't even know if the uv light works at killing germs there's no way to tell.

Yes. There spectrum includes both UVA & UVB. I use them to help both my reptiles and live plants get the light they need.

This bulb is a novelty/decoration item and it emits UV-A light, to effectively kill bacteria you should find a bulb that emits UV-C. The type of bulb that will emit UV-C is NOT a toy and will fairly quickly cause damage to eyes and skin. Suggest Google search: "where to buy UV light to kill bacteria."

This light will cure any paint or epoxy that's effected by UV light. I imagine even regular polish would harden a little quicker(but then you're just getting unnecessary UV exposure).

No, you need a UV lamp. I have even heard several people try the LED and it will not cure.

If you run the unit with the exit tube above the waterline you can see the output. The UV units have to process water slowly in order to expose the organisms to the UV light for a proper amount of time or it won't kill the organisms. It is different than a physical media filter. The UV units would not be functioning properly if they were moving the water too quickly.

It is used as a mold and germicidal tool. Ultraviolet C is that frequency of light that kills germs, mold and spores. Normally we are protected from UV-C by the atmosphere. These special lights are used in hospitals and other areas where its light is necessary to kill biohazards. Skin should not be exposed to the light as it is harmful to humans as well. If you get one, just be careful to keep its light aimed away from you.

Hi it sounds like your filter is not working before the water gets to uv filter. UV only kills microorganism not actually remove anything from the water

YES. But, you will want to avoid anything that will kill beneficial bacteria, such as H2O2 and Enzyme's
