Absolutely, the use of remote on/off and cameras allow the greatest control. Those who turn on the circulators and forget them give each of us who try to limit open water a bad name. In the past, I had a 7 day clock and needed to make assumptions as to the weather if away. I had the tendency to schedule running it less than needed to avoid impacting my neighbors, and paid the price one year when the ice formed quickly and lifted the dock.
