Description
SK-30 – IBO intelligent pressure switch
The SK-30 is an intelligent pressure switch from IBO that automatically controls pump operation – starting it when water is drawn and switching it off when water consumption ends. It combines a pressure gauge and check valve in one housing, and during the first start-up it automatically adjusts itself to the installation and determines the operating pressure. This is a compact controller for unattended pump control in a water system.
Who is it for
- Single-family homeowners – the pump starts automatically when water is drawn and switches off when the tap is closed, without the need for manual system operation.
- Well and private water-source users – dry-run protection disconnects the pump when there is no water and automatically retries starting it every hour.
- Hot-water systems – the permitted water temperature of up to 100°C allows the switch to be used where typical controllers have too low a limit.
- Installers and plumbers – the built-in pressure gauge, check valve, and automatic adjustment speed up installation and initial start-up.
Applications
The SK-30 is suitable for domestic and garden water systems supplied from the mains, a well, or a tank. It is installed on the discharge pipe in a vertical position, directly after the pump. The controller automatically monitors pressure and flow, starting the pump when a tap or sprinkler is opened and switching it off when water consumption ends.
The device operates exclusively with clean water, free from sand and iron compounds that could damage it. For smoother operation, installing a small diaphragm tank, such as a 5-litre model, is recommended. In a typical domestic installation, the SK-30 230 V intelligent pressure switch takes over pump control, starting it when a tap is opened and stopping it when the water flow is shut off.
SK-30 features
The SK-30 responds to the water pressure and flow in the pipe on which it is installed. A pressure drop below the set value combined with the appearance of flow starts the pump, while closing the outlet stops it. During the first start-up, the controller adjusts itself to the installation and stores the operating pressure, which can later be adjusted using the buttons in increments of 0.1–0.2 bar.
Clear LEDs indicate the operating status: power, pump operation, and flow, while flashing LEDs indicate a lack of water or excessively frequent start-ups. If there is no water, the switch disconnects the pump within approximately 10 seconds and retries every hour, with the option of manual activation using the AUTO/RESET button. The built-in pressure gauge and check valve reduce the number of components on the pipeline, while protection against excessively high and low voltage safeguards the electronics.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IBO SK-30 intelligent pressure switch
How does the SK-30 switch work?
The SK-30 measures the pressure and water flow in the pipe on which it is installed. When a tap is opened and the pressure drops, it starts the pump; when the tap is closed, it switches the pump off. During initial startup, it automatically adapts to the installation, so no extensive configuration is required.
Is the SK-30 suitable for hot water?
Yes – the permissible water temperature for the SK-30 is up to 100°C, considerably higher than in typical controllers limited to several dozen degrees. This also allows the switch to be used in hot-water systems. The water must be clean and free of sand and iron compounds.
Do the check valve and pressure gauge need to be added to the SK-30?
No – the pressure gauge and check valve are built into the SK-30 and do not need to be purchased separately. This reduces the number of components on the pipeline and simplifies installation. For this reason, do not install an additional check valve between the pump and the switch.
Does the SK-30 protect the pump against dry running?
Yes. If there is no water, the SK-30 switches off the pump within approximately 10 seconds and indicates this with a flashing LED. The controller automatically retries starting every hour, and the pump can also be switched on manually using the AUTO/RESET button.
Is the SK-30 compatible with a pressure tank?
No – the SK-30 is not compatible with pressure tanks. For smoother operation, however, installing a small diaphragm tank, such as a 5-liter tank, is recommended. The pump used with the switch should produce an inlet pressure of at least 2 bar.
Where can the SK-30 switch be purchased?
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The IBO SK-30 intelligent switch can be purchased from our commercial partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors. Choose the variant with a 1" or 1¼" connection to match the installation diameter.
What is the warranty for the SK-30?
IBO – 24 months (2 years) of manufacturer’s warranty. Dambat provides warranty and post-warranty service. For questions about installation or selecting the right variant, please contact an authorized distributor.
