    I'm thinking about getting a UV sterilizer, but I've heard different opinions as to whether they actually make a difference or not. Please share your experiences and opinions with me! Thank you! :)

    I bought one yrs ago only b/c the cleaning lady that my wife hired cleaned the outside glass with some cleaner that turned my water "greenish" the following day. The UV filter cleaned the water in 3 days. I uninstalled it after that. I personally dont think you need one unless your having major water issues.
