Does UV disinfection make the water taste better?

The taste may change due to this oxidization. This oxidization only takes place when the water is standing for a long period of time in front of the UV lamp. 8 Should UV be used with other forms of filtration? Yes. Because UV does not change the quality of the water other than killing the bacteria, it is always recommended to have an additional Carbon or Sediment Filter with a UV system. 9 When used with other filters previously installed, where should the UV be placed?
