Uv Filter Steriliser

[catfish4ever]

I am hopefully getting a new aquarium that comes with a UV Filter Steriliser
 
so they reduce algae and pathogens?
 
anything else i need to know about them?
 
Thanks

I'm also looking into getting a UV steriliser - can you let us know which one you get, and how effective it is?
