Yeah, I think the bulbs for the system we saw were like $65 or so. BUT,
what is the price of good, clean water? I know it will take electricity
to run the light, too. Right now, we spent about $16 on filters, all
things considered, that is our average monthly water expense. If we
order from the new place, We would spend $14 a month and have better
quality water at the end of filtration alone. The UV treatment adds 7
or 8 buck a month with replacing the filter once a year and electricity,
putting the total monthly cost for water purification near $22 instead
of the 16 we pay now. However, I think the additional peace of mind
will be worth it.
