Under no circumstances switch the UV unit off, apart from late fall when it is advisable to carry out routine cleaning of the quartz tube, using a mild acid such as vinegar and to replace the UV lamp. There are alternative solutions to removing green pond algae, such as pond algaecides but the side effects, such as interfering with nitrifying bacteria and possible overdosing make this an unsuitable alternative in my opinion.
