We use a lot of UV at work so I have access to UV lights, and ballasts. So I was contemplating as to whether or not to build my own UV sterilizer or not.
We use 75w bulbs that have this type of end.
About 24" long.
I was thinking of making a box for the light to sit in and then have a surrounding box with the water flow. My main concern is the type of material to build this out of and what type of fittings?
I considered glass, but I would be concerned with the silicone that I would seal the glass with deteriorating. I also considered acrylic, but I am unsure of what type to use.
Has anyone made their own sterilizer? If so what did you use and how did you go about the project?
