Answer 4

A UV water filter sanitizes the water by killing some bacteria and viruses in it but not removing it, making it relatively safe to drink.

A good RO filter on the other hand filters up to 99% of all but H2O (water) molecules out of your water. This is good and bad as you also lose minerals ect. that your body needs with all the bacteria that can harm you. For very particular people it will be the ideal to have both systems as a unit and add minerals manually to your drink water and know its safe and healthy to consume. (Last option mainly applies to rich thirsty people)
