How does UV reduce chlorine? It's a freaking element. It's especially weird inside an ice machine, where the chlorine can't selectively evaporate or something, which is my first guess at a mechanism in open air.
- gregschlom 4y agoThe UV doesn't reduce chlorine, it kills bacteria. There's also a filter, and that's what removes the chlorine
- hundchenkatze 4y agoUV purification systems can also remove chlorine.
- andrewflnr 4y agoThat's what I would have thought. But the article said: > Both carbon filters and ultraviolet light are known to decrease chlorine concentrations. Seems crazy, right? That's why I'm asking.
