There is no reason to run the UV over the Winter since the algae will
die off until Spring, even in the UK.
I am not sure that running the filter will keep your pond from
freezing. In fact, the strong circulation could make it all freeze
worse. Just because it is moving does not keep water from freezing.

Keep us posted on your results.
