Do your UV-C LED lights sufficient to treat a tank full of water?

I have reviewed some of your website and knowledge base responses which seems to suggest that we could use some of your products to treat 1500-gallon plastic water tanks that store drinking water. This is generally very pure water and this is just an additional safety measure to stop unexpected bacteria or living pathogens from developing in already purified water. My question is if your lamps are sufficient to treat a tank full of water using one of your UV Dash C flood lights. Alternatively, we could put your UV strips inside PVC pipe as the water passes through but we are unsure if that is sufficient exposure time. One concern we have is whether the UV will cause degradation of the plastic water tanks or pipes. This would be for several tanks so we are interested in giving it good thought before we purchase. 

While we can confirm that ultraviolet light is known to affect plastic materials, we have not performed internal testing to measure the effects of exposure over time. 

Additionally, while we offer a floodlight product with UV-A output, this product is currently not available with UV-C output, and I do apologize for any impact this might have on your purchasing process. 

Further, please note that our UV-C LED strip lights are not IP rated for exposure to moisture or the elements, as any contact they have with water may cause a hazard and void the warranty. 

We have found that ultraviolet wavelengths are blocked by the polycarbonate material often found in insulated channels, though quartz glass is known to be able to allow for ultraviolet transmission. 

If an insulated quartz glass channel was able to be procured, it might prove to be the best option for the installation.
