The invention discloses a water pump automatic control method based on a pressure signal, which comprises the following steps: after a water pump is started, acquiring a current pressure value and a current voltage value of the water pump, judging whether the voltage of the water pump is abnormal according to the current voltage value, if so, carrying out shutdown protection, if not, acquiring a current current value of the water pump, judging whether the water pump is in a stuck state or not according to the current current value, if yes, carrying out shutdown protection, if not, judging the running state of the water pump according to an absolute value of the difference value between the current voltage value and the last voltage value, and then carrying out corresponding water pump protection according to the running state of the water pump. According to the water pump automatic control method based on the pressure signal provided by the invention, automatic control over the water pump is achieved, the water pump can be effectively protected, and the water pump automatic control method has the advantages of being low in cost, stable in control, high in applicability and convenient to maintain.
