An enclosure 12) supports a water carrying tube (16) through which a flow of water to be sanitized passes. Water carrying tube (16) may be supported at each end by Venturis (24, 26) mounted in ends of a housing (12). One or more ultraviolet lamps (14) extend along tube (16). Air tubes (62a, 62b, 72) are connected to Venturi suction ports (30) or an external use (FIG. 7) and have openings (64) therealong are oriented very close to the ultraviolet lamps (14), with openings (64) facing the ultraviolet tubes (14) in order to draw ozonated air directly from near the surface of the ultraviolet lamps (14). Ultraviolet lamps (14) may be pulsed with high power pulses of a frequency and duration determined by an air flow rate through the air tubes (62a, 62b, 72) in order to maximize ozone production. An external Venturi suction port may also be provided. |
