Amalgam UV during winter
Hi All,
Always turned my TMC UV off over winter, from October onwards. I now have a Amalgam UV (got a Filtereau drum filter).
Stupid question Do people still turn these off over winter?
Cheers.

I don’t, because I don’t want biofilm to build up on my drum screen.
Have considered putting it on a timer to be on during the day and off at night, but have never got around to it!2016 new 6000 gallon pond

Good point, but I use mains water to wash so reckon I’d be ok…

I plan to turn off my UV's in a month most likely when the cold has set or I've covered whatever comes first. 85w in total so will help save a few pennies. Considering my surface skimmer too but may just turn pump to minimum to keep the water movement at the varying levels from the lower return
Running heater at low temp?
Covering the pond with polycarb should be enough to stop water temps dipping below 6C for the most...
