    thanks PCGEEK!
    your answers makes a lot of sense if the output duty cycle is what we control.
    thanks again.
    I'm going to change my pump time to run at night to see if it's more efficient.

    Jackson,

    If you have the two pin cell, then red plug is there to cap off the third pin that's not being used.

    hi PatL34,

    I understand that it's for capping off the 3rd unused port but which side? Which of the outer two sides do I cap off?

    It does not matter. With the three pin cell, the center pin was the "neutral" so to speak, and the outer ones are used to reverse polarity. With the two-pin it is taken care of automatically, with the two pins swapping polarity.

    Jackson,

    Sorry about the full e-mail. You can also e-mail me directly.
    PCGeek and PatL have answered correctly. The duty cycle (Purifier %) will indicate ON or OFF, depending on if the cell is energized or not.
    The position of the red cap does not matter. You're only using two of the three pins so cap off either outer hole and use the other two.
    Finally, it will not affect the SCG to shock the pool if needed. Remember, most people on here recommend using a manual shock to oxidize the combined chlorine from after a pool party or bad weather, rather than using up some of the cell life by doing a BOOST mode. Smart advice to optimize cell life.
