Hey everyone,
I recently came across UVC leds and was wondering if they could be used to disinfect water in a simple way.
If I got a bucket with 5 litres of water in it, stuck a 50mW radiant flux UVC led (like this) on the lid and run it for 1 minute would that be enough time and power to disinfect all the water? Would there be any difference in effectiveness if the interior surface of the bucket was reflective so the light would reflect more?
Thanks for reading.
