Description
IQ PRESS – electronic pump controller
IQ PRESS is a digital controller that automatically controls pump operation – it starts the pump when water is needed and switches it off when the pressure reaches the set level. The device is designed to directly control one or two single-phase pumps simultaneously. Built-in safety features protect the pump drive against dry running and overloads.
Who is it for?
- Owners of single-family homes – automatic control of pump operation extends the pump’s service life through comprehensive protection against dry running and overloads.
- Hydrophore system installers – one device for various single-phase pumps; three modes and adjustable pressure thresholds simplify selection and reduce the number of automation components.
- Farms and allotment gardeners – irrigation and high-flow water intake with reliable pump protection when operating from a well or tank.
- Two-pump installations – cooperation between two pumps, a duty and booster or standby pump, increases system performance and provides backup in the event of a failure.
Applications
IQ PRESS is suitable for domestic hydrophore systems, pressure-boosting systems, and anywhere water is drawn from an independent source – a deep well, tank, or water supply system with unstable pressure. In flow-control mode, the controller starts the pump when a water outlet is opened and switches it off when it is closed; in pressure modes, it ensures that the pressure in the building’s system remains at the set, constant level.
It also performs well in garden and green-area irrigation, as well as in supplying clean water to small utility buildings. In a typical single-family installation, the IQ PRESS 230 V electronic pressure switch takes over pump control, starting it automatically when a tap is opened and stopping it when water withdrawal ends.
IQ PRESS features
IQ PRESS directly controls one or two single-phase pumps, adapting its operation to the needs of the installation. The first mode monitors flow and stops the pump when water runs out; the second operates as an electronic pressure switch for a single pump; the third distributes operation between a duty and booster pump. Current parameters – pressure, current draw, and the presence or absence of flow – are shown on a clear display.
The design integrates the controller with a small spring-loaded diaphragm tank that reduces pressure fluctuations and limits the number of pump starts. Once it is removed, a thread is exposed for connecting a larger external pressure tank. A comprehensive set of safety features protects the drive: dry-run detection with automatic restart when water returns, protection against overload and excessive pressure, and an anti-seizing function that starts the pump after 24 hours of inactivity. The device is supplied without cables – these must be selected according to the power of the specific pump.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IQ PRESS pump controller
What is IQ PRESS and how does it work?
IQ PRESS is an electronic pump controller that automatically switches the drive on and off depending on water usage or the set pressure. It operates in three modes, making it suitable both for simple domestic systems and installations with two pumps. The clear display shows the current pressure and current draw, making it easier to monitor system operation.
Can IQ PRESS control two pumps simultaneously?
Yes, in two-pump mode, IQ PRESS supports two single-phase pumps rated up to 2.2 kW each, operating as a duty and booster pair or as a duty and standby pair. This solution increases system performance and provides backup in the event of a failure of one of the pumps. Each output is protected by an independent current protection device.
Does IQ PRESS protect the pump against dry running?
Yes, the controller detects a lack of water and stops the pump before damage occurs. When water returns, the device automatically resumes operation. It also protects against overload, excessive pressure, and excessively frequent pump starts.
Does a pressure tank need to be connected to IQ PRESS?
The controller has a built-in 0.3 l diaphragm tank that limits the number of pump starts. In pressure modes, however, it is advisable to select an additional external tank to keep the number of starts below 30 per hour and extend the pump’s service life. Once the built-in tank is removed, a connection for an external tank is available.
Which pumps can be controlled by IQ PRESS?
IQ PRESS works with single-phase pumps rated up to 2.2 kW, with a current draw of up to 16 A per output. It is suitable for submersible, surface, and hydrophore pumps operating with clean water at temperatures of up to 60°C. The maximum flow rate is 150 l/min with a 1" connection and 300 l/min with the optional 1¼" connection.
Where can the IQ PRESS controller be purchased?
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The IBO IQ PRESS controller can be purchased from our trade partners, installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors. Complete parameter tables and technical documentation make it easier to select the right configuration.
What is the warranty on the IQ PRESS controller?
IBO – 24 months (2 years) manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat. For questions about selection or configuration, it is advisable to contact an authorized distributor.
