The invention claimed is: 1. A lamp system for treating a liquid with energy from a lamp comprising: a housing with an inlet for receiving a liquid to be treated; a lamp system including at least a first wall within the housing that has at least one lamp, the first wall having a first side and an opposite second side, the lamp system for providing energy through the first and second sides to the liquid in the housing; and at least a second wall within the housing having at least one orifice, the second wall being positioned within the housing to direct the liquid through the orifice; the housing, the lamp system, and the second wall configured to provide a flow of liquid between the housing and the first side of the first wall and then past the second side of the first wall; the lamp system being removable from the housing. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the housing includes two parallel walls, and the lamp system first wall is parallel to and between the walls of the housing, the lamp system first wall being shorter than the housing walls to allow the liquid to flow around the lamp system first wall. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the lamp system first wall is adjustable in position relative to one or both of the housing walls to allow control over a depth of the flow path between the lamp system first wall of the housing walls. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the lamp is a pulsed lamp. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the lamp is a UV lamp. 6. A lamp system for treating a liquid with energy from a lamp comprising: a housing with an inlet for receiving a liquid to be treated; and a lamp system including a walled structure, the walled structure having a cross section transverse to the liquid flow, the cross section having a closed perimeter that defines a region within the perimeter and a region outside the perimeter, the region outside the perimeter and within the housing defining a first annular portion of a flow path, the lamp system further including a central lamp structure within the perimeter, the region inside the perimeter and outside the central lamp structure defining a second annular portion of the flow path; the housing and the lamp system configured to provide a flow of liquid through the first and second annular portions, and having one or more lamps for treating the liquid in the region within first and second annular portion. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the one or more lamps are pulsed UV lamps. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein at least some walls of the housing are UV-reflective to reflect light from the one or more lamps and into the liquid. 9. The system of claim 6, wherein the perimeter is rectangular. 10. The system of claim 6, further comprising a plate with one or more lamps spaced from and oriented perpendicular to the flow path through the region within the perimeter. 11. The system of claim 6, wherein the same one or more lamps treat the liquid in the region within the perimeter and in the region outside the perimeter. 12. The system of claim 1, wherein the second wall does not have a lamp. 13. A lamp system for treating a liquid with energy from a lamp comprising: a housing with an inlet for receiving a liquid to be treated and an outlet for releasing a treated liquid; a first lamp system including a central core and an annular region outside the central core, the central core having one or more lamps, the first lamp system for providing energy through the central core to the liquid in the housing; a second lamp system including a first plate with one or more lamps, the first plate oriented perpendicular to the flow path through the annular region, the second lamp system positioned between the inlet and the first lamp system, the second lamp system for providing energy through the first plate to the liquid in the housing; wherein the housing and the lamp systems are configured to provide a flow of liquid past the first plate and through the annular region for treating the liquid in the housing with the one or more lamps of the first plate and the one or more lamps in the central core. 14. The system of claim 13, further comprising: a third lamp system including a second plate with one or more lamps, the second plate oriented perpendicular to the flow path through the annular region, the third lamp system positioned between the outlet and the first lamp system, the third lamp system for providing energy through the second plate to the liquid in the housing; wherein the housing and the lamp systems are further configured to provide a flow of liquid past the second plate for treating the liquid in the housing with the one or more lamps of the second plate. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein at least some walls of the housing are UV-reflective to reflect light from the one or more lamps and into the liquid. 16. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more lamps are pulsed lamps. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the one or more lamps are UV lamps.
