Controls/Control Panel

AquaMotion Combi-Guard


The AquaMotion Combi-Guard control lets the homeowner set the “ON and “OFF” times tailored to the size of his water heating system. Use the AquaMotion Comfort Control app and access Control Combi-Guard from any mobile device, including tablets and smartphones. These “ON/OFF” times determine how quickly the recirculation pump runs to deliver hot water to every fixture (ON), as well as how long the recirculation system sits dormant (OFF). Once these settings are selected, the homeowner then sets the desired time interval(s) when he or she wishes to have instant hot water via the app. This app is used to program AquaMotion Hot Water Recirculation kits for maximum water, energy savings and comfort. The smart controller plugs into a grounded wall socket, then is paired with the app. The pump cord plugs into the controller. The WATCHDOG Smart Controller AMK-SC is compatible with Android and Apple iOS mobile devices. This product requires 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection. 401-785-3000; www.aquamotionhvac.com
