Description
PC-24 – automatic pump controller
The IBO PC-24 automatic pump controller independently controls the operation of a pump in a water system – it starts the pump when water is drawn and stops it when the flow ceases. The built-in pressure sensor and clear display allow you to precisely set the start conditions, while the dry-run protection safeguards the pump against operating without water. It is an easy-to-use solution for maintaining constant pressure in a domestic water supply system.
Who it is for
- Owners of single-family homes – constant water pressure at the taps without manually switching on the pump; after a water outage, the controller resumes operation automatically.
- Installers and plumbers – vertical or horizontal installation and adjustable pressure thresholds simplify the selection of automation for a specific pump.
- Well and tank users – dry-run protection safeguards the pump when drawing water from sources with variable output.
- Allotment gardeners and garden enthusiasts – automatic pump activation when sprinklers are opened makes irrigation easier without constant supervision.
Applications
The PC-24 controller is suitable for domestic hydrophore systems and pressure-maintenance systems in which water is drawn from the mains, a deep well, or a tank. It responds to every opening of a water outlet – a tap, shower, or sprinkler – switching on the pump and automatically switching it off after the outlet is closed.
The device is designed exclusively for clean water free of mechanical impurities, making it well suited to domestic and garden installations. In a typical single-family-home system, the PC-24 230 V automatic pump controller takes over control of the pump, starting it when the tap is opened and stopping it when the water flow is shut off.
PC-24 features
The PC-24 is an electronic controller for one single-phase pump, equipped with a built-in pressure sensor and a display showing the current system pressure. It operates in two modes: in mode 1, only the pump start pressure is set, while mode 2 allows you to specify both the start and stop pressure – this option requires a pressure tank.
The design is complemented by an extensive set of protections: dry-run protection with automatic restart after the water returns, protection against excessive pressure, and protection against continuous pump starting. Every 24 hours, the device performs a brief ten-second start-up to prevent the pump from seizing during extended periods of non-use. Installation is possible in either a vertical or horizontal position, in accordance with the flow-direction arrows on the connections.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – PC-24 automatic pump controller
What is the PC-24 controller and how does it work?
The PC-24 is an electronic controller that switches on the pump when the pressure drops and water flow begins, and switches it off after the outlet is closed. This means the pump operates only when water is actually needed, while the system maintains constant pressure. The built-in display shows the current system pressure.
What is the difference between mode 1 and mode 2 on the PC-24?
In mode 1, only the pump start pressure is set – this is the simple option for basic automatic operation. Mode 2 also allows you to define the stop pressure, but it requires a pressure tank, which reduces the frequency of pump starts.
Does the PC-24 protect the pump against dry running?
Yes, the PC-24 has dry-run protection – if there is no water, it disconnects the pump before it can be damaged. When water returns, the controller automatically resumes operation. It also protects the system against excessive pressure and excessively frequent pump starts.
Is a pressure tank required for the PC-24?
In mode 1, the controller can operate without a tank, responding directly to water demand. Mode 2, in which the stop pressure is set, does require a pressure tank to limit the number of pump starts. The required tank capacity depends on the system’s output.
What type of pump can be connected to the PC-24?
The PC-24 works with one single-phase pump rated up to 2.2 kW and designed to pump clean water. For the controller to operate correctly, the pump should generate pressure at least 1 bar higher than the set start pressure. A check valve should not be installed between the pump and the controller.
Where can the PC-24 controller be purchased?
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The IBO PC-24 automatic pump controller can be purchased from our trade partners, installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors. Complete technical specifications and documentation make it easier to select the device for a specific pump.
What is the warranty for the PC-24 controller?
IBO – 24 months (2 years) manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat. If you have questions about installation or configuration, it is advisable to contact an authorized distributor.
