Abstract
A ventilation ring for a UV water sanitizer unit that allows for adequate ventilation of heat generated by electronic components while sequestering those electronic components from water. The ring can also be made of a transparent or translucent material to allow a user to detect whether a UV lamp within the housing is operating. An improved nut for affixing a quartz tube within such a unit and improved design for draining the unit are also disclosed.

- a housing;
- a ventilation ring incorporated into the housing for allowing heated air to exhaust from the housing, the ventilation ring comprising downwardly facing ventilation openings whereby the ventilation openings are shielded from sources of overhead moisture while preventing intrusion of moisture from outside of the apparatus into the housing.
