Xylem 160013 Watchman Duplex Pump Control with Mechanical Alternator

The Xylem 160013 Watchman is a duplex pump control system designed for automatic operation of two pumps in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. This control panel features a mechanical alternator that ensures equal run time between both pumps, extending equipment life and providing reliable backup protection.

Key Features:

• Duplex pump control for two-pump systems
• Mechanical alternator for equal pump runtime distribution
• Automatic pump sequencing and alternation
• High water alarm functionality
• Manual override capability for testing and maintenance
• Reliable float switch monitoring
• NEMA rated enclosure for durability
• LED indicators for system status monitoring

The Watchman control system automatically starts the primary pump when water reaches the programmed level, then activates the backup pump if demand exceeds capacity or if the primary pump fails. The mechanical alternator rotates which pump serves as primary, ensuring balanced wear and maximizing system reliability. Ideal for sewage ejector systems, sump pump applications, and wastewater management.
