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.
