DAYLIFF MANUAL PUMP CONTROLLER (PRESSURE CONTROL SWITCH) (12PCS/CTN)

Product Description

The Dayliff Manual Pump Controller, commonly referred to as a pressure control switch or press pump controller, is an in‑line automatic controller designed to manage the operation of pressurised water supplies. It senses system pressure and starts the pump when pressure falls below a set point and stops it when pressure returns to normal. Unlike fully electronic controllers, this manual controller uses a mechanical pressure sensing mechanism making it simple and cost‑effective for controlling small single‑phase pump systems without additional level sensors. It is typically used in domestic and light commercial water booster systems where a stable automatic response to pressure changes is required.

Key Benefits and Features

• Starts the pump automatically when delivery pressure drops below the set threshold helping maintain system pressure without manual intervention.
• Stops the pump on low flow conditions which helps prevent unnecessary cycling and reduces wear.
• Includes dry‑run protection that requires manual reset after a dry run event preventing the pump from running without water.
• Built‑in spring‑activated hydraulic accumulator helps control pump cycling and reduce the frequency of starts and stops.
• LED indicators provide visual feedback on power, pump run status and dry run conditions aiding simple diagnostics.
• Designed with a robust mechanical pressure switch and brass contacts for reliable operation in water booster systems.
• Suitable for straightforward installations without the complexity of full electronic pump controllers.
