My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Do you need uv lights in the winter?

6 years ago

This is the first winter we have turned off our uv lights in order to install aerators and now I'm noticing quite a bit of algae even though it's cold. Should I sacrifice the aeration for the uv lights? Our falls are turned on and operating.
