Description
PC-16 - hydrophore machine with automatic restart
PC-16 by IBO is an electronic pressure booster that independently controls the operation of the pump and maintains constant water pressure in the installation. Its most important feature is an extensive automatic restart - after the water disappears, the device automatically tries to start the pump again and signals how long the water has been missing. It protects the pump against dry running, and the IP65 housing resists dust and moisture well.
For whom
- Installers and plumbers - ready-made wiring with a plug and socket reduces the time needed to connect the pump.
- House owners with their own well intake - automatic restart restores the pump operation after a temporary lack of water, without the presence of the user.
- Users of surface and submersible pumps - one device supports both types of single-phase pumps.
- Installations exposed to water level fluctuations - LED indication indicates how long the water has been missing and how many restart attempts have been made.
Application
PC-16 works well in home and garden water installations powered by a single-phase pump, especially where the water level in the well varies. It reacts to the actual water consumption, so water is available immediately after turning on the tap or opening the sprinklers. Automatic restart means that the installation returns to operation automatically after a temporary lack of water.
The device works with clean water without mechanical impurities. Installation takes place on the discharge side of the pump, in a vertical position. In a typical single-phase home installation, the PC-16 230 V pressure pump recognizes water consumption based on pressure and flow, so it does not activate the pump unnecessarily in the event of minor leaks.
Features of the PC-16 machine
The operation of the PC-16 pump is determined by the pressure in the installation and the water flow in the pipe. After the water disappears, it stops the pump and activates the automatic restart function - with a programmed delay, it tries to resume operation on its own. The number of attempts depends on how long the water is missing, and the FAILURE LED indicates this by flashing: single, double or triple flashes and continuous lighting inform about subsequent time intervals and the number of attempts made. This solution works well with automatic irrigation and unattended installations.
PC-16 has a built-in check valve that prevents water from flowing back into the pump, and a pressure gauge showing the current pressure in the installation. The diodes communicate the pump status - power supply, operation and possible failure. The device works with single-phase pumps with a current consumption of up to 10 A. It is mounted on the discharge side of the pump, between it and the first water receiver. The pump equipped with a plug is connected directly to the machine's socket.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – PC-16 machine
What is the PC-16 machine used for?
PC-16 is a hydrophore machine that independently controls the pump and maintains constant water pressure. The pump starts when someone turns on the tap and stops when the intake is closed. After the water disappears, the device automatically tries to start the pump again.
What is automatic restart in PC-16?
After detecting a lack of water, PC-16 stops the pump and tries to resume its operation with a programmed delay. The number of attempts increases with the time of lack of water, and the FAILURE diode signals it by blinking - from single flashes to continuous lighting. Thanks to this, the installation returns to operation without user intervention.
What pumps does PC-16 work with?
The automatic device is designed for single-phase pumps with a power of up to 1.1 kW and current consumption of up to 10 A, with a 230 V power supply. It is suitable for surface and deep-well pumps operating with clean water without mechanical impurities.
Does PC-16 protect the pump against dry running?
Yes. When there is no water, the machine stops the pump, which protects it against overheating and damage. After the water is restored, the pump returns to operation thanks to the automatic restart function or after manual activation using the RESET button.
What is the difference between the PC-16 and the SK-15 model?
The PC-16 has an automatic restart function and an IP65-rated housing, however SK-15 after a water outage, it requires manual activation and has an IP54 protection rating. You will find both models in the category drivers.
Where to buy the PC-16 machine?
As a manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The IBO PC-16 automatic machine can be purchased from our trading partners, installation wholesalers and authorized online distributors.
What is the warranty for the PC-16 machine?
IBO – 24 months (2 years) manufacturer's warranty.
