Hey guys

How to program MP40QD to turn off for 1 hour at a specific time using Ecosmart Live? I dropped the setting down to 0% but propeller still spinning.

I would use a simple digital plug timer like I do for the lights on my daughters Bearded Dragon lights.

I believe the reason is because during the time that the pump is off there is a chance that a snail or other critter will make it's way into the prop = not good when it goes to start back up.
