Default Ultraviolet air filter

Does anyone else get a little stressed when they are pumping air through their fresh wort? It seems like a weak link in process as far as sanitization goes. I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on UV light as a filter. I have UV water filter on my RO system, and I think it can be adapted to an inline air filter.

Sounds like it could work, however the air will need to stay in front of the light for some time.

I was thinking this morning in the shower if you could bubble the air through ethanol?

cheers,

Anything wrong with the sanitary inline filters?

Great. Thanks. I suppose they are effective enough.
