Description
PC-15 – automatic pressure controller
The IBO PC-15 is an electronic automatic pressure controller that controls pump operation based on water use. It starts the pump when a tap is opened and switches it off when the tap is closed, replacing both the pressure switch and pressure tank. This makes the entire system simpler and more compact. The device protects the pump from dry running, while the built-in pressure gauge and RESET button make everyday operation easier.
Who is it for?
- Installers and plumbers – the PC-15 replaces the pressure switch and pressure tank, making the system simpler to install, while the pre-wired connections reduce connection time.
- Homeowners with their own water source – the automatic controller maintains system pressure and stops the pump automatically when there is no water.
- Users of surface-mounted and submersible pumps – one device operates both types of single-phase pumps.
- Allotment gardeners and farms – automates pump operation for water use, garden watering, and sprinkler supply.
Applications
The PC-15 is suitable for domestic and garden water systems supplied by a single-phase pump, whether surface-mounted or submersible. It starts the pump 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 automatic 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 compatible with clean water free of mechanical impurities and is installed on the pump's discharge side. In a typical domestic single-phase installation, the PC-15 230 V automatic pressure controller detects water use based on flow, so it does not start the pump unnecessarily in the event of minor leaks.
Features of the PC-15 automatic pressure controller
The PC-15 controls the pump based on water pressure and flow. Thanks to its functionality, the device eliminates the need for a conventional pressure tank to maintain pressure. It starts the pump when a tap is opened and switches it off when the tap is closed. The 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 activated 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, operation, and any potential failure. The PC-15 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-15 automatic pump controller
What is the PC-15 automatic pump controller used for?
The PC-15 is an automatic pressure controller that starts the pump when the tap is opened and stops it when the tap is closed. It replaces a pressure switch and pressure tank and protects the pump against dry running.
Which pumps is the PC-15 compatible with?
The automatic controller is designed for single-phase surface and submersible pumps with a power rating of up to 1.1 kW and current consumption of up to 10 A, powered by 230 V. It is suitable for clean water without mechanical impurities.
Does the PC-15 replace a pressure tank?
Yes. The PC-15 controls the pump based on pressure and flow, replacing both a pressure switch and a pressure tank. This simplifies the installation and reduces the number of system components.
Does the PC-15 protect the pump against dry running?
Yes. If the water runs out, the automatic controller stops the pump, protecting it from damage. Press the RESET button to restart the pump after the water supply has been restored.
What is the difference between the PC-15 and the PC-59 model?
The PC-15 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.
