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.
