Controls/Control Panels
AquaMotion Combi-Guard
The AquaMotion Combi-Guard control lets the property owner 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
Aquaworx by Infiltrator Intelligent Pump Control Panel
The easy-to-install Aquaworx by Infilrator Intelligent Pump Control Panel leverages simple pressure transducer technology and an embedded microcomputer to monitor tank levels and direct the pump through customizable dose cycles.

Using a computer as the timing device ensures precise and reliable accuracy and liquid level readings, enhancing overall system performance. Real-time event logging provides a clear picture of pump system performance and ease of troubleshooting with a step-by-step report of all events. Panels are available with two different intuitive controllers to service/program multiple different panels. The MARC is a simple controller that provides easy access to settings and features in the panel. The Tapper creates a local on-site Wi-Fi network the user can connect to through their phone or another Wi-Fi-enabled device. 800-221-4436; www.infiltratorwater.com
