Claims11
A fluid disinfection system comprising:
- a chamber having a volume for accepting an amount of fluid,
- at least one UV light source for providing UV radiation to the chamber, and
- at least one adjustable chamber wall,
- wherein the adjustable wall is configured to float upon a surface of the fluid within the chamber and to remain in fluid contact when the fluid level is increased or decreased, thus adjusting the volume of the chamber to the amount of fluid so as to contain the UV radiation in the amount of fluid, and wherein the chamber further comprises at least a portion of UV reflective material.
