ACCESSORY FOR PROVIDING ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION TO A WATER DISPENSER

摘要

An accessory (100), and a method therefor, added between a water source such as a water bottle (B) and a water dispenser (D). The water is disinfected as it flows, generally by gravity, from the source through a UVC, i.e., Ultraviolet C), water treatment reactor (105) within the accessory (100). Disinfected water is supplied to the water dispenser's supply reservoir (R). It may be then consumed with a diminished risk of transmission of disease and/or sickness to the consumer, thereby decreasing the risks to the person's health.
