    The aluminum scum in water heaters left over from the sacrificial anode break down is supposed to be reall bad for you.
    The effects are described as being crippling, debilitating and long lasting.

    Depends on the Intensity of the UV Lamp .... I have a UV Sterilizer Tank on my Domestic Water System that has about 5 GPM thruput, and it uses a G10 UV Tube, running on a 12Vdc Ballast at about 3 Amps...

    I use a 1,000w UV steriler, should do about 300gpm at 1,000w.
    Food standard for the pasturized milk ordinance as it applies to water that is going into the milk has to get about a 142 mJ per centimeter cubed dose.

    No, you're misinterpreting. I'm talking about as a consequences of a pandemic where people are now dead, quarantined or sick in their homes leaving people who operate the water system and related areas, either non-existent or reduced in force, what would happen'

    Either way, having one's own source of water is the first priority, because there is not always reliable pre-warning.
    I you having to find water, so are millions of other people .
    There are volumes of you tube shots of empty stores after a storm ,water goes first.
