I don't know if you could use a clear peice of hose/glass tubing and UV sterilise the water as it's being fed round the loop? i think it would work, but i've never seen it in the flesh.

Unfortunately i'm responsible for legionella control at my work (among my many other duties) and i'm sorry if i'm boring you, it's quite a boring subject tbh.

Raising the water above 50c would eliminate any leigonella present btw.

I have used UV sterilisation of water in my old fish pond filter arrangement. It works very well especially at slow flow rates.

My water heater project is to find out if themo syphoning works, as a zero energy input heating mechanism. So UV filters are out, as is +50cwater heating.
