Description
PS-13 – automatic pump controller
The IBO PC-13 is an electronic automatic pump controller that controls pump operation according to water consumption. It switches the pump on when a tap is opened and off when it is closed, so the system operates automatically without manually switching the pump on. The device protects the pump against dry running, while the built-in pressure gauge and RESET button make everyday operation easier. Its compact design and ready-made wiring ensure quick installation.
Who is it for?
- Installers and plumbers – the ready-made wiring with a plug and socket shortens connection time, while the built-in check valve simplifies system construction.
- Homeowners with their own water supply – the controller maintains system pressure and automatically stops the pump when there is no water.
- Users of surface pumps – the device replaces manual pump control and ensures safe operation.
- Allotment gardeners and households – automates pump operation when drawing water, watering the garden, and supplying sprinklers.
Applications
PC-13 is suitable for domestic and garden water systems supplied by a single-phase pump. It switches the pump on when the pressure drops below the set threshold and flow appears in the pipe, and switches it off when the flow stops. In practice, the controller starts the pump when a tap is opened or sprinklers are turned on and stops it when they are closed, ensuring water is available whenever needed.
The device is designed for clean water free of mechanical impurities and is installed on the pump discharge side in a vertical position. It also protects the system from unnecessary pump activation caused by minor leaks, as it responds to flow rather than to a pressure drop alone. The PC-13 230 V automatic pump controller manages the pump.
Features of the PC-13 automatic pump controller
PC-13 controls the pump based on water pressure and flow. When a tap is opened, it starts the pump, and when the tap is closed, it switches the pump off after a short delay of a few seconds, reducing unnecessary operating cycles. Built-in dry-run protection stops the pump when there is no water and protects it from damage. Initial startup and restarting after the protection has been triggered are performed using the RESET button.
The device has a built-in check valve that prevents water from flowing back into the pump, as well as a pressure gauge showing the current pressure in the system. LEDs indicate the pump status—power and operation. PC-13 is compatible with single-phase pumps drawing up to 10 A and is installed between the pump and the first water outlet.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – PC-13 automatic pump controller
What is the PC-13 automatic pump controller used for?
The PC-13 is an automatic pressure controller that switches the pump on when the tap is turned on and switches it off when the tap is turned off. It maintains pressure in the system and protects the pump against dry running.
Which pumps is the PC-13 compatible with?
The controller is designed for single-phase pumps with a power rating of up to 1.1 kW and a current draw of up to 10 A, powered by 230 V. It is compatible with clean water free of mechanical impurities.
Does the PC-13 protect the pump against dry running?
Yes. When there is no water, the controller stops the pump, protecting it from damage. The pump can be restarted by pressing the RESET button after the water supply has been restored.
Does the PC-13 switch on the pump in the event of minor installation leaks?
No. The controller responds to water flow, not just a drop in pressure, so the pump does not switch on unnecessarily in the event of minor leaks. This limits unnecessary pump operating cycles.
What is the difference between the PC-13 and the PC-59?
The PC-13 has an IP54 protection rating and fixed settings, while the PC-59 has an IP65 rating, adjustable start and stop pressure, and two operating modes. You can find both models in the controllers category.
Where can I buy the PC-13 automatic pump controller?
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The IBO PC-13 automatic pump controller can be purchased from our trade partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
