Abstract: A water treatment pitcher includes a portable container, with a cover to and a filling inlet, and a spout for dispensing filtered water. The pitcher has an upper water basin inside the portable container for receiving water, having a filter seat for a filter. The water basin allows the filtered water to drip into and be collected in a space of the container that is lower with respect to the filter when the container is upright; and an ultraviolet (UV) generator configured to radiate UV radiation from a UV emitter on the water collected in the space and to radiate UV radiation from the UV emitter onto the filtered water as it drips from an outlet of the upper water basin to the space of the container that is lower with respect to the filter.
