AquaTop Line UV Sterilizer 10W
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.

About $45. Seems to do a good job for cleaning water, though this particular model may/not have a leaking issue.
Oh, and the way UV light accomplishes the sterilization is via DNA destruction: "UVB light causes thymine base pairs next to each other in genetic sequences to bond together into pyrimidine dimers, a disruption in the strand, which reproductive enzymes cannot copy."
So that's why it can kill viruses, because UVB light 'attacks' the DNA itself, stopping infection and mitosis.
