That thing's pretty neat. You can get a pre-filter for it as well which is nice to remove particulates. As for the reliability of the UV, I know that UV light is used to sterilize surfaces in biotech labs (I work in one, btw, and we use UV to keep our biological safety cabinet germ-free). So I'd assume that, so long as the lamp provides UV as stated and so long as it provides it in a high enough intensity for a long enough of a time, then, yeah, it should effectively kill any microbes in the water.

Definitely looks fragile though. At $130 I'd hate to break that thing!
