Abstract
A water heating and treatment system with UV lamp water treatment sanitation for suppression of pathogens and undesired bacterial content in a domestic hot water system includes a water heater, and a cold water supply line to supply water to the water heater. The cold water supply line includes a UV sanitation lamp. A single or multiple temperature regulating mixing station supplies a temperature regulated heated water to one or multiple temperature zones. A three-way return water diverter valve provides a portion of a re-circulated hot water from a hot water recirculation line including a temperature sensor to the single or multiple temperature regulating mixing station and a remaining portion of the re-circulated hot water to the drain. A method for treating hot water to suppress pathogens and undesired bacterial content in a domestic hot water system is also described.
