UV is commonly used to sterilize drinking water, too. It doesn't have to be that powerful; you can look at it just fine without getting killed (or even damaged). Surely this (or some other technique for fixing the Legionnaire's problem) is baked already? |

Legionnaire's is disseminated by air. The buggers have to get from the source, through the air, to you. If they get to you and cause disease, you need an antibiotic pronto. Most of the time, the bug is traced to air ducts, cooling systems, and the like (not heaters, usually). The places that have problems with it usually have problems with keeping their ducts and systems clean -- that is, they don't add a bacteriostatic agent to the water, which is never drunk anyways -- we need an invention to set off the Bug Alarm when fuzzy stuff starts growing in the wrong places! |
