I can't seem to find solid information on setting the flow rate of my uv sterilizer to control algae. Should I follow the manufacturer instructions? Some say they are B.S. not sure what to do. Right now I did the bucket method and filled a one gallon jug and it took 8 seconds. I have 4 feet head pressure

Put the UV on and see what the tank looks like tomorrow. What kind of algae are you dealing with?
If it’s green water the UV can help that.
