I have the IC40 and it is wired with my pump. I need clean to backwash and drain some water, so I will be running the pump for about 30 minutes while no water will be flowing through the SWG. I currently have it set at 40%.
Since there is no physical off switch on the SWG (and I do not have any automation, if that makes a difference).

Should I :
1) Reduce the output to 0% (only way I know how to turn it "off"),
2) Unplug the cable at the power box?
3) Do nothing and not worry about it?
 
The flow switch should sense no water flow and turn the cell off.

But to be safe and not rely on the flow switch set the % to 0.
