A purifier for water and other similar liquids comprises a inlet, a disinfecting unit, a wait time chamber, a treatment unit, and an outlet. The wait time chamber has a minimum volume which is a function of the liquid flow rate and a predetermined time necessary to deactivate bacteria, viruses and other contaminants in the liquid. The purifier is also designed for liquid flow at near plug flow conditions, such that the first portion of liquid into the purifier leads the liquid stream and does not short circuit or mix appreciably with liquid that has entered the purifier prior to or after it. |
