Protect your home from flooding with DAB

As a homeowner, you have a number of responsibilities to take care of when keeping your home in working order – one of which is the possibility of flooding. Finding yourself unprepared in the event of flooding can lead to many challenges, such as damage assessment, dehumidification, drying, sanitising, cleaning, and restoration.

While flooding can be difficult to control, there are a number of preventative measures you can adopt to help avoid flooding or water damage in your home – the first of which is identifying the typical causes of flooding, and implementing proactive measures.

One of the most common causes of flooding in the home is faulty drainage systems, often due to the clogging of toilets, sinks and showers. If left unattended, this can expose your house’s flooring, fixtures and walls to extensive water damage. Leaky gutters and pipes are also areas to be mindful of when it comes to concerns with flooding. What’s more, waste water overflows can also occur in homes due to damaged or blocked plumbing, backflow from the waste water systems, or as a result of flood water containing waste water. 

Another challenge you may have to face as a homeowner is the possibility of your property or any part of it falling below the municipal waste water line. Should this happen, the waste water will need to be lifted and a pump will be required to complete the task.

NOVA and FEKA – the ideal flooding solution

Should you ever find yourself needing to deal with the results of flooding in your home, DAB’s NOVA and FEKA domestic submersible pumps are specifically designed to help take care of all flooding-related incidents. With more than 4,000,000 pumps sold to date, they’re the ideal residential water management solution.

  • Domestic waste water
  • Rainwater or groundwater
  • The emptying of wells or collection tanks
  • The emptying of swimming pools or rooms prone to flooding

What’s more, both submersible pumps offer tangible benefits, such as:

  • Premium performance: Both NOVA and FEKA are fitted with high quality parts including an oil chamber triple seal and lubricated bearings.>
  • Better corrosion protection: Featuring a motor in AISI 304 stainless steel and a shaft in AISI 431 steel, NOVA and FEKA are stringently safeguarded against corrosion.
  • Easy to use: Light and compact, NOVA and FEKA are suitable for fixed and mobile installations with connectors for vertical delivery and a horizontal metal delivery port.

That’s not all we’ve packed into our pumps though – let’s take a closer look.

NOVA

With an open impeller, the NOVA line is suited to taking care of all clean and waste water with solids measuring up to 10mm. Use NOVA to empty tanks, vats or cisterns, drain flooded basements, cellars and garages, prevent flooding when installed in rainwater wells, and as a portable pump in emergencies to drain water out of flooded rooms.

FEKA

Fitted with a back flowing impeller, the FEKA line is designed to manage all clean and waste water with solids measuring up to 25mm. Similar to NOVA, it can also be used to empty tanks, vats or cisterns, drain flooded basements, cellars and garages, and prevent flooding when installed in rainwater wells. What’s more, in the event of mud or detritus, it can also be used as a portable pump in emergencies to drain water out of flooded rooms.

As you can see, when it comes to protecting your home from flooding, NOVA and FEKA are ideally suited to the job. Keep your home safe, sturdy and dry, all with a little help from DAB.

The EsyBox Mini³ is the latest innovation by manufacturer DAB. Following the great success of the DAB EsyBox, the EsyBox Mini³ model is equipped with the same facilities, but is even more compact, lighter, and favourable in price. If you want a pump that you can leave alone once it has been installed, then the DAB EsyBox Mini³ is the one for you. The EsyBox Mini³ is equipped with a speed controller, which ensures that the pump runs only at the RPM required to pump the water, under the right pressure, to a particular location. This model is fully automated and very quiet. which, in addition to saving energy, will also extend the pump’s life. This pump can be used in places with a high water requirement: for example at home (multiple taps, showers, baths, dishwashers, washing machines, toilets, etc.), but also for larger irrigation systems. With this pump, you can easily control various groups with the right capacity and pressure.

The EsyBox Mini³ has a fully corrosion-resistant, water-cooled motor. The motor can pump a maximum of 4,800 litres per hour by making use of its 1-litre pressure valve, which comes with a 2-year warranty without maintenance requirements. Furthermore, the EsyBox Mini³ is fitted with a number of technical features, including:

  • an electronic speed regulator, ensuring consistently constant pressure
  • a speed controller with a start/stop function for specific water pressure in designated areas.
  • multi-step, providing increased water pressure when required.
  • various sensors, such as: an electronic pressure-difference sensor, a built-in temperature sensor, and a flow-rate / capacitance meter

Whether you install the DAB EsyBox Mini³ horizontally or vertically, in a ventilated area or a small space, this pump can handle any situation. The integrated non-return valve allows for a horizontal and a vertical setup, and the DAB EsyBox Mini³ is also about 60% more compact compared with traditional installations.
