Ingco Automatic pump control 10A

The Ingco Automatic Pump Control 10A is a device designed to automatically start and stop an electric water pump based on water pressure or flow. It’s commonly used in domestic water systems to maintain pressure and provide on-demand water supply.  

Here’s what you should know about it and where you might find it in Nairobi:

Likely Specifications (Model WPS01 or similar):

• Maximum Current: 10A (This is a crucial specification to ensure it’s compatible with your water pump’s power consumption. Check your pump’s current rating.)  
• Voltage: 220-240V~50/60Hz (Standard for Kenya)  
• Starting Pressure: Typically adjustable within a certain range (e.g., 1.5 bar or 2.2 bar). This is the pressure at which the pump will automatically start.  
• Maximum Working Pressure: Usually around 10 bar.  
• Connection Size: Often 1 inch male thread.  
• Protection Rating: Typically IP65 (dust-tight and protected against water jets).  
• Features:
  • Automatic Start/Stop: Turns the pump on when pressure drops below the set starting pressure and off when flow stops (indicating the tap is closed and pressure has built up).
  • Dry-Run Protection: Many models include a safety feature that automatically stops the pump if it runs without water, preventing damage.  
  • Pressure Gauge (some models): May have a built-in pressure gauge to monitor the system pressure.
  • Reset Button: For manually restarting the pump after a dry-run shutdown or other issues.
