Yes you can turn it off. the bulb in mine broke 2 yrs ago and I 've never replaced it . the pond is fine as are the plants and fish [thankfully]

Yes you can turn it off, ours like Seaburngirls had broken and we,ve had a clear pond. We do leave the filter running all year round.
Our instruction booklet for the UV filter says not to expose it to frost (the UV that is).

Yes, i always turned mine off on my koi pond around October time. I replaced the bulb (they only have a 6 month life) every march and turned it back on then.

Remember to turn just the UV off, not the actual filter.
