Question 2

The lifespan is referring to the cell, correct? How much is the replacement cell for this system? Why is the lifespan range so wide- I am hearing 3 to 7 years- what effects the life span? Thank you. View answer

Question 3

Is there a regular interval at which polarity is reversed? I run my pump 4 hours per day. When not running there will be no power to the control unit. I'm worried based on my past experience with Zodiac LM that with power being cut, the polarity will be reversed every 4 hours after power up which would be a problem (of course I can run it longer if needed).
