The invention provides an intelligent water pump control system with a fault self-checking function. The intelligent water pump control system comprises a water pump control unit, a water pump monitoring unit, a main water pump, a standby water pump, a liquidometer, a flow meter, a temperature sensor, a monitoring center, a mobile phone terminal and an external power source. A PLC is adopted in the system for executing the control task, a single-chip microcomputer executes the water pump fault monitoring task and can control the PLC to preferably select a water pump with a good running state for work according to the water pump parameter comparison; and meanwhile, when the emergency situation happens, the PLC can arrange work by itself, mutual supervision is achieved, dual guarantees are provided for normal running of the system, and troubleshooting is better facilitated.
