Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? Acquiring 1/2 acre green Koi pond in need of TLC

Not a pro but FWIW, with respect to UV filtration, my understanding of UV filtration is that it kills bacteria. It seems to me that, if I had a pond full of muck, the last thing I would want to do is kill the bacteria. My understanding is that you need bacteria (the right strains) to breakdown the muck. Now if I was going to pull water from the pond to supply the house, I would really want that UV filter along with a good mechanical one on that supply line.

.....Just thinking out loud.
