A sterilizing apparatus is provided to simultaneously generate ozone and expose a contaminated fluid to ionizing radiation, such as UV radiation, for the sterilization of water. The device includes an air supply conduit to circulate current of air through an ozonation chamber, with the conduit being routed through a water exposure chamber, wherein the air is cooled by the relatively lower temperature of the water at the same time as the water is being decontaminated by exposure to sterilizing radiation. The conduit continues into the air exposure chamber, where it is positioned adjacent the UV lamp to dry the air by the warmth generated by the lamp. The second part may comprise a metal tube having a helical portion coiled about an end region of a tubular UV lamp, and a straight portion positioned adjacent a middle region of the lamp, in order to accommodate the differential heat output of the lamp at the different regions thereof.
