A UV light on RO water filter is to disinfect filtered water at a certain flow rate. Bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms are destroyed by the UV interfering with the DNA and RNA in the organisms' reproductive cycles. In theory, the reverse osmosis membrane already removes bacteria and viruses from the water, therefore, you need not a UV light on top of RO System if you are on a municipal water system (tap water). But, if your water source is known to be unsafe with microorganisms and you want to have extra protection, then you can add an UV light as an additional stage to disinfect water.
