All I know is I have used one for over 2 decades, and made several
thousand gallons of CS and it is still going strong.
If you cycle too fast, then the efficiency will decrease. For a second
or so after switching ions will be returning to the electrodes, and
plating out.
I think you want it to be fast enough that the coatings don't develop on
the electrodes. I have not played with that, but if you are seeing them
go alternately go black and light grey, it is too slow.
The specs I found on that unit show it to be a power on delay timer, not
a cycle timer. Make sure you get one that will cycle.

Hi there:
Just wondering if anyone has done any experimenting with
the timing for polarity reversal. Not doubting the 1 minute at all.
But at that rate, that would be 60 cycles an hour, and 600 cycles for
a 10 hour brew. Since I make several brews at a time, that is a lot of
wear and tear on the relays. Does anyone know the lifetime cycles
those relays can handle before failure? I am going to be using a DH
48S-2Z unit from Amazon.
Thank you... Regards Grant.
