A water purification system 2 includes a pulsed source of UV light. This UV light is emitted by a pulsed laser 12, and the UV light pulses are incident upon water passing though a pulsed UV generator 10. The UV light pulses also strike crystalline members 36, such as diamonds and quartz crystals, which are also disposed within the flow path. The combination of incident UV light pulses and UV light dispersed by crystals 36 having differing crystal structures and differing sizes has been found to be effective in destroying organic pathogens including microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses.
