I have seen them, you can place them totally underwater, should be a good addition to a sump!

I'd have to see the design but it sounds like a gimmick. Hell, even top of the line UV sterilizers are borderline gimmicks IMO. I just can't imagine the contact time being long enough for it to do anything.

I heard of a UV being build into canister filters. Forget where I saw it.
