W15 IH-10 - automatic pressure booster pump
The IBO W15 IH-10 booster pump automatically increases water pressure and flow wherever the water supply network cannot cope—simply turn on the tap, and the pump will start automatically and deliver a stronger stream of water, ready to operate even with hot water up to 100°C.
Who is it for?
- Residents of upper-floor apartments—solve the problem of low pressure and insufficient water flow at the end sections of the installation.
- Homeowners with gas water heaters—eliminate the problem of the heater failing to reignite due to excessively low water pressure in the network.
- Service technicians for small industrial devices—welders, injection molding machines, and food-processing machines requiring a small but stable water supply gain a reliable source of water.
- Aquarium enthusiasts—use the pump to aerate the water and force circulation in the aquarium.
Applications
The W15 IH-10 pump is primarily suitable wherever low pressure in the water supply network makes normal use of the installation difficult—it increases pressure in gas water heaters and water supply systems and, regardless of fluctuations in network pressure, helps maintain it at a constant level. It is also used in multi-story installations, where water flow on the upper floors may be insufficient.
In addition to typical pressure boosting in buildings, the pump can operate as a circulator for selected industrial equipment—argon welders, laser devices, injection molding machines, or food-processing machines—and can also aerate and force water circulation in aquariums. The automatic W15 IH-10 230 V booster pump, thanks to its tolerance of water temperatures up to 100°C, can also be used to supply small boilers.
Features
The built-in automatic flow switch, installed on the pump's discharge side, starts the device when the tap is opened and switches it off when the flow stops—there is no need to turn the pump on manually every time water is used. It operates at a minimum inlet pressure of just 0.02 bar, while an additional mode switch (automatic / manual / stop) allows continuous operation to be forced wherever automation is not needed, for example when supplying industrial equipment.
Brass hydraulic components ensure corrosion resistance and a long pump service life, while the noise level of 85 dB also allows it to be installed in residential rooms. Tolerance of water temperatures up to 100°C distinguishes the W15 IH-10 from versions intended exclusively for cold water; however, the pump must be installed in a vertical position, never upside down or tilted, to prevent water from entering the motor.

Frequently asked questions
What is the W15 IH-10 pump used for?
The W15 IH-10 automatically increases water pressure and flow in water-supply systems, gas water heaters, and multi-storey installations, and can additionally operate as a water circulator for selected industrial equipment and aquariums.
How does the W15IH differ from the W15IC in this pump series?
The IH designation indicates a version designed for hot water—the W15 IH-10 tolerates temperatures up to 100°C, while the W15IC is intended exclusively for cold water. Choose the W15IH wherever hot water may occur in the installation, for example with water heaters.
Will the W15 IH-10 pump work in my installation with a gas water heater?
Yes, this is one of the pump’s primary applications—it solves the problem of water pressure that is too low to start the water heater properly. The pump must be installed before the water heater, never on its outlet side.
How does the automatic flow switch in the W15 IH-10 pump work?
The switch installed on the discharge side detects when a tap is opened and automatically starts the pump, then switches it off when the tap is closed. It operates with an inlet pressure as low as 0.02 bar or when the water level is at least 0.2 m above the pump.
Where can I buy the W15 IH-10 pump?
The pump is available from our trade partners, installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty applies to the W15 IH-10 pump?
The IBO pump is covered by a 24-month manufacturer’s warranty, with warranty and post-warranty service provided by Dambat.
