Russell Pump

Russell Pump & Engineering of Albion, Iowa, makes condensate and boiler feed systems and pumps. A Russell Pump system gathers returning condensate or makeup water in its receiver and delivers it to the boiler in a steam heating or process plant.

BoilerSupplies.com carries the Russell Pump Stainless Steel Boiler Feed and Condensate Return Systems as one family. The receiver is stainless steel, which holds up where condensate rusts out a plain steel tank. The selection turns on duty first: a condensate return system pumps as its receiver fills, and a boiler feed system waits for the boiler's water level control to call. Size follows from the boiler it serves.
