UV-C needs clear water to do its job, so the carbon filter has to strip the sediment out before the light hits it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it kill Giardia and Cryptosporidium?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. UV-C inactivates protozoa, bacteria and viruses by scrambling their DNA so they can't reproduce.
