UV radiation is a proven safe, simple, and FAST way to kill a lot of bacteria in water. Washing your pots and pans, dogs, or yourself in UV treated water will not cause any immediate harm to most people. However, UV radiation only KILLS bacteria but doesn't remove them. You'll still be ingesting DEAD bacteria and their unpleasant byproducts when you drink that water. Bacteria (live or dead) will pass through most paper and charcoal filters.
Ceramic filters actually REMOVE bacteria. They purify the water for drinking and not just make the water safer to drink. Berkey filters are advanced ceramic filters that PURIFY the water like white ceramic filters but they also remove LEAD, MTBE's, chlorine, VOC's, and heavy metals "the type that produce three-eyed grandchildren" (LOL).
