keep your pond naturally clean.
No harm is done to the beneficial bacteria that helps you maintain a healthy environment for your fish. Recommendations for filtering include a pre-filter that filters the water before reaching the UV so that the unit does not have to work hard to get at what it does best.
Once water passes thru the unit, and into the filter, the dead algae will be caught before the water re-enters your pond. UV Sterilizers are the only way to get rid of "green water" algae by breaking the outer membrane and "zapping" the organisms.
When you are considering purchasing a clarifier or sterilizer make sure that it will fit your pump and the rest of your system. These units are available in submersible or non-submersible types ready to clean up an algae problem.
Clean the unit according to manufacturer specifications but expect to clean it at least once a week.
Keeping your pond naturally algae free without the use of algaecides will create a healthier environment for the pond ecosystem.
If your goal is to build as natural a garden pond as is possible, the use of UV equipment is the recommended way to emulate nature.
