Lee,
It would be interesting to see if someone with a UV sterilizer could
test for chlorine after a single pass. The units are pretty cheap these
days and if you are not dealing with chloramines you could do away with
the carbon prefilter on you auto change system. Wright will, of course,
caution you about the water company changing things while you are not
looking. Also, I believe that those bulbs have to be changed every six
months or so. A friend of mine ran into trouble with the manufacturer
of his UV sterilizer going out of business. The bulbs for his
particular unit became unavailable after that.
Good Luck and Happy New Year,
Chris

Subject: [Killietalk] dechlorination
Has anyone any further knowledge of the Hanovia technology which uses UV
to
dissociate chlorine? This quote from their web site:
An increasingly popular dechlorination technology, with none of the
above
drawbacks, is UV treatment. High intensity, broad-spectrum UV systems
dissociate
both free chlorine and chloramine compounds (mono-, di- and tri-) into
easily-removed by-products. UV has the added benefit of providing both
high levels of
microbial disinfection and also total organic carbon (TOC) destruction.
