Abstract: A sanitizing apparatus for sanitizing a fluid is provided. The sanitizing apparatus includes a chamber having an inlet for receiving the fluid thereinto and an outlet for discharging the fluid therefrom, a divider adapted to divide the chamber into an upstream portion in fluid communication with the inlet and a downstream portion in fluid communication with the outlet, a sanitizing light source disposed in the upstream portion and adapted to emit a sanitizing light to sanitize the fluid therein, such that the divider is adapted to obstruct the fluid flow from the inlet to increase the density of the fluid in the upstream portion wherein the fluid is sanitized before being discharged from the chamber via the outlet. A sanitizing method for sanitizing a fluid is provided.
