Claim Text:
1. An inline ultraviolet light emitting diode water treatment system, comprising: (a) a water supply line; (b) a plurality of LED water line tube sections, each comprising a circular cross-section and an opening along a tube section that supports a side module extending away from the opening, the module supporting one or more ultraviolet light emitting diodes, and further comprising a curved lens covering the opening and contouring with the circular cross-section of the tube section, positioned to isolate the one or more ultraviolet light emitting diodes from water flow; (c) wherein the plurality of LED water line tube sections are spaced along and help form the water supply line, such that water flowing through the water supply line is treated at multiple locations as it passes the plurality of LED water line tube sections spaced along the water supply line without requiring a pass through a separate water treatment device or chamber; and (d) an outer sheath encasing at least a portion of the water line tube sections and configured to insulate and retain heat energy produced by the one or more ultraviolet light emitting diode in order to heat water flowing through the water supply line.
