everywhere on the internet I see the uv filter right after the sand filter. Wouldnt sand scratch the uv light protector. Where else could I put it.

but to answer the other question, the filter sand stops all sediment from going further. (Well down to microns at least). After the filter is as clean as the water gets.

Most of us have our UV generator way up in the sky. It's that yellow thing that generates millions of times more UV than your puny lightbulb could ever make.

Seriously...take it back.
