A UV system treats continuously at the point of use and needs no dosing schedule. On a household drinking untreated roof water year round, UV is the set and forget answer; TankSafe is what you use to treat the tank itself, and what many people run on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot to be taken undiluted.
