Dear Jarrod,

Endotoxin does not get degraded by UV light at low intensity.   UV light
bulbs in water systems are generally low intensity.  The UV spectrum has a
detrimental effect on microbial genomes.  Removal of endotoxin from water
is generally performed by ultrafiltration and RO systems or both together.
