I don't think this is a great idea. UV is much more expensive and requires maintenance, lamp replacement, electric power, degrades over time, and leaves no residual disinfectant. Chlorine bleach is cheap and effective and leaves an effective residual for transport to the consumer. The positive for UV is that it is better for protozoa like crypto or giardia. Is it easier to locate and purchase/pay for and transport the UV systems, than to obtain chlorine? Chlorine can be made on site from salt.
