I thought they go before so that your filter can filter out the dead ,
clumped algae.

Well it doesn't really clump algae together after its killed, and you'd
need a 3-5 micro filter to get it , which would last about 10 min in
most outdoor ponds. A sand filter with 500 lbs of #20 silica will pull
it out.

If they go after, then all the dead algae that clumps
together goes back into your pond to contribute more green water.

If you start it up in early spring, it won't go green in the first place.

For years here I always got the feeling that when I suggested UV, people
thought that was cheating.

I think I see a lot less resistance to them around here these days ;-)

yes, I read pros & cons.. (g)

do the sterilizers go before or after the filter? ( I thought they were
after,, but just saw I diagram of it before..)

After, they perform better with less turbidity.

where is the best place to purchase one??(pricewise)

What size and brand do you want ?

This is to clear green water right ?
