Working my way back to the issue of UVc, I personally would not rely on it as an independent method of purification, and as part of a chain of processes it's both irrelevant and expensive, as others have said.
I have been working in the Texas oilfields for 7 years and drink the water delivered to me every two weeks. It starts out as potable but handling between that point and delivery to me is suspect. I use a series of filters (inc. Doulton ceramic) and the last one is a UV filter. I change the bulb every year or so and it has been a solid performer.
UV sterilization has been an accepted practice for decades and earlier posters saying it is some sort of "scam" are just woefully uninformed.
There are enough conflicting studies on the Berkeys that I would not rely on them personally speaking.
YMMV
