A friend of mine swears by UV and I'm tempted to add one to my pond because of the green water I'm experiencing but before I fork out the extra cash, how many still have green or murky water even though they have a UV sterilizer?
2 UV or 2 Not????

U.V works great in ponds it will kill off the free floating algae blooms (green water) but it will not kill the algae growing on the wall of the pond! I love them!!
Thanks guys! I placed an order today for a 55w UV. Can't wait to install though I won't like the added plumbing work I'll have to do. 
UV-Clarifiers are used to kill algae along with some disease organisms. The water flows through UV-Clarifiers faster than the UV-Sterilizers. UV-Sterilizers kill 99% of floating algae as well as other living organisms. They do not harm the beneficial bacteria that grow in filters and on rocks, etc. They kill the organisms that are floating in the water.
I swear by them have them on my tanks and my pond the water in my ponds are gin clear. I had a 5ft tank in a window it was pea green put one on it 3 days clear. Yes get one.

Do it, they are awesome. In just a few days my green tank turned crystal clear, even the small amount of algae on the glass disappeared, and uneaten pellets stopped sprouting mould.
Hmmm interesting.. I have had one sitting in a box un-used for months now because most of the other input I have read has them providing very little benefit. I am going home after work to hook mine up now.
