Pure Earth http://www.pure-earth.com/ sells what look like very efficient
high intensity one pass sanitizers. I have only looked at the specs, they
look good. Of course, specs and reality may be different.

If you're relying on UV to sanitize the water, you'd better plan on a
recirculation system that runs continuously - not really desireable in
boating application. UV is a very poor sanitizer, especially in a
one-pass installation.
