Sorry for the thread revival, but want to clarify on Super Chlorination vs 100% output. Are you guys saying that they're the same-same? Meaning that running the IC-40 at 100% wears it out faster?
I understand the lifetime hours of usage, but does 100% setting heat up the cell to the point that it wears out faster than the lifetime hours? Or is this simply a matter of reaching lifetime hours faster?
I'd like to run the IC-40 at 100% output on occasion when the pool has heavy use, but I don't let my chlorine levels fall enough to require adding liquid chlorination.
I've had an IC-40 since 2018 and have not yet hit 20% usage so I'm not worried about burning through lifetime hours, as the IC-40 will likely need to be replaced before it hits ~10K hrs of usage.
