I was considering running a UV sterilizer when I was doing research on my backyard pond because everyone said you have to run one if you want clear water. I found a company out of the States who said otherwise. What happens when the water is passed through the system? Sure it will kill all the nasty stuff that causes algea and other things but it also kills your beneficial bacteria. Not worth the extra cost, just my 2 cents.
