Description
The Xylem-Hoffman Specialty 160032 Watchman Duplex with Mechanical Alternator is a premium condensate and boiler feed pump control solution engineered for demanding hydronic and steam systems. Designed to manage duplex (dual) pump installations, this controller automatically alternates pump operation to equalize run time, extend equipment life, and provide built-in redundancy in the event of a pump failure.
Key Features
