You would probably waste an awful lot of electricity, without being able to reach all the micro-organisms.

Ultrasound might be an answer though. I have seen a Swiss startup develop an ultrasound machine that you run your water through.

The vibrations field (or as Chromotron points out, the cavitation) has the effect of breaking down anything molecular that crosses it.

It's probably not the vibrations but the ultrasound cavitation. It forms little bubbles at enormous forces, ripping stuff apart.
