Italian-made automatic water pump control with dry-run protection and plug-and-play convenience.

The Watertech Presscontrol is a quality electronic controller designed to automatically start and stop compatible single-phase water pumps as taps are opened and closed.

Available with 1.5 bar or 2.2 bar starting pressure, it provides dependable automatic operation for domestic water supply and compatible pressure pump installations.

Both models are supplied fully wired with a standard 3-pin mains plug and 3-pin pump socket, making electrical connection straightforward.

Built-in dry-run protection helps protect your pump if the water supply is interrupted.

Choose Your Starting Pressure

• 1.5 Bar – For compatible installations requiring a lower pump starting pressure.

• 2.2 Bar – For compatible installations requiring a higher pump starting pressure.

Starting pressure is the pressure at which the controller switches the pump on. It is not the maximum pressure the pump can produce.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the 1.5 bar and 2.2 bar models?

The starting pressure. The 2.2 bar model switches the pump on at a higher system pressure than the 1.5 bar model.

Can the starting pressure be adjusted?

These models have preset starting pressures. Choose the version suited to your installation.

Does the controller come wired?

Yes. Both models are supplied with a standard 3-pin mains plug and 3-pin pump socket.

Does it protect against running dry?

Yes. Built-in dry-run protection helps prevent pump damage when the water supply is interrupted.

Do I need a pressure tank?

The Presscontrol is designed to operate without a conventional pressure-switch-and-tank arrangement. A small pressure tank may be beneficial in some installations.

Will it work with my existing pump?

It is suitable for compatible 230V single-phase pumps up to 1.5kW and 10A. Check pump specifications and installation requirements before purchasing.

Are replacement parts available?
