Abstract
A photoreactor for disinfecting water includes at least one wall defining a chamber configured to contain fluid. The reactor also includes an inlet through which water flows into the chamber, and an outlet through which water exits the chamber. The reactor also includes a UVC LED. The LED is configured to power on for an active duration, and power off for an inactive duration. The active duration and the inactive duration define a period. The reactor also includes a controller configured to set a duty cycle for the period, where the duty cycle is a ratio of the active duration to the period. The duty cycle is less than or equal to about 1:100.
