Flow Control Switch 10 Bar
Automatic Water Pump Control Made Easy!
Tired of manually switching your water pump on and off? The Flow Control Switch 10 Bar (SKD-11) takes care of it for you!
Designed to automatically start and stop your water pump based on water demand, this handy controller makes managing your household water supply easier and more convenient.
When you open a tap, the controller detects a drop in water pressure and switches your pump on. Once you close the tap and water stops flowing, it automatically switches the pump off.
It also features built-in dry-run protection, helping protect your pump when there's not enough water available.
Whether you're boosting household water pressure, supplying water from a JoJo tank or running a garden irrigation system, the SKD-11 is a practical addition to a compatible water pumping setup.

How Does It Work?
The SKD-11 Flow Control Switch monitors water pressure and flow to automatically control your pump.
1. Open a Tap
When you open a tap, water pressure in your system begins to drop. Once it reaches approximately 1.2 bar, the controller automatically starts your pump.
2. Water Flows
Your pump continues supplying water while there is demand, helping maintain a steady water supply throughout your system.
3. Close the Tap
When you close the tap and water flow stops, the controller automatically switches your pump off.
4. Water Runs Out
If the water supply becomes insufficient, the controller detects the shortage and stops the pump to help prevent dry-running damage.
It's an easy way to automate your water supply while adding an extra level of pump protection.

Built-In Protection for Your Pump
Running a water pump without enough water can cause unnecessary wear and damage.
The SKD-11 Flow Control Switch includes water-shortage detection that helps prevent your pump from running dry.
If the controller detects insufficient water, it stops pump operation to help protect the system.
This makes it especially useful for household water supply systems and tank-fed pumping installations where water availability may vary.
Important Installation Information
Before installing your Flow Control Switch, keep the following in mind:
-
Pump Compatibility: Ensure your pump is compatible with the controller's electrical ratings and operating requirements.
-
Maximum Pressure: The controller is rated for a maximum working pressure of 10 bar.
-
Starting Pressure: The pump activates when system pressure drops to approximately 1.2 bar.
-
Connections: Features 1¼″ BSP threaded inlet and outlet connections.
-
Power Supply: Requires a suitable 220V AC, 50Hz electrical supply.
-
Correct Installation: Install according to the manufacturer's instructions and indicated water flow direction.
-
Water Supply: Dry-run protection helps prevent damage but does not replace the need for a reliable water source.
Please Note: The controller automatically manages pump operation but does not increase the maximum pressure your pump can produce. Actual water pressure depends on your pump's performance and plumbing system.
