More about this product
The WaterBoost WB-EXT Slimline 500 Esybox combines maximum buffer storage with full DAB Esybox performance in a practical upright slimline format. A 500-litre WRAS-approved slimline tank (700mm dia × 1500mm high) pairs with the DAB Esybox external variable speed pump, delivering 80 l/min at 3 bar and up to 6.5 bar maximum. Designed for 3–5 bedroom homes with demanding simultaneous demand or a very slow mains supply.
The Esybox sits alongside the tank rather than inside it — fully accessible for servicing at any time — and runs at an exceptionally quiet 43 dB(A). WiFi via the DConnect app and H2D technology provide remote monitoring, intelligent control, and Google Home and Alexa voice commands. The mains connects directly via the pre-fitted ¾” ball float valve. Fully pre-built — no site assembly required.
Supplied with union connections, ¾” ball float valve, 600mm hose, and By-law 30 kit. 5-year tank warranty and 3-year DAB Esybox warranty. Delivery typically 1–2 working days.
Three 80 l/min upright boosting systems in the 450–500L range. The WB-EXT 500 Esybox offers the most storage, WRAS confirmed on both tank and pump, 6.5 bar max, WiFi, and named warranties. The Powertank 450 Variable offers Fluid Category 4 with an 8L pressure vessel. The DAB Esytank offers 480L storage in the purpose-built DAB integrated ecosystem.
WB-EXT 500 Esybox — the most complete specification of the three. Same DAB Esybox pump as the Esytank system, the most storage (500L), WRAS confirmed, 6.5 bar max, 43 dB(A), WiFi, H2D and voice control, named 5yr tank and 3yr pump warranties, and 1–2 day delivery. The right choice for the large majority of potable water boosting applications.
Powertank SLIMLINE 450 Variable — choose for Fluid Category 4 compliance with 450L storage and an 8L integral pressure vessel. Note: 5 bar max only, and no WiFi.
DAB Esybox with Esytank — the same Esybox pump in DAB’s purpose-built Esytank system (480L useable storage). Choose specifically if you want to use the DAB Esytank ecosystem — particularly if you plan to add further Esytank storage units via the DAB coupling kit for higher capacity. WRAS status not stated on product page.

What is a mains pressure boosting system?
A mains pressure boosting system increases the pressure and flow of water from the incoming mains supply into a property. It typically combines a pump and a storage or expansion tank, drawing water from the mains and delivering it to taps, showers and appliances at a stronger, more consistent pressure. They are used where the incoming mains is too weak to serve modern outlets reliably.
When do I need a mains booster pump?
You normally need a mains booster if static mains pressure is below 1.5 to 2 bar, if showers run weakly when other taps are open, or if combi boilers struggle to deliver hot water. Anglian Pumping recommends checking static pressure at the stop tap before specifying a system, then choosing a model rated for the number of bathrooms and outlets in the property.
What size mains booster do I need for my home?
Sizing depends on the number of bathrooms, the type of fittings and the static mains pressure. As a guide, a 1 to 2 bathroom property with combi boiler or single shower often needs 1.6 to 3 bar boost. A 2 to 3 bathroom property typically needs 3 to 4.5 bar with an integral break tank. Larger homes need a tank-and-pump system such as the DAB Esybox with Esytank or a Powertank set.
What is a water booster pump?
A water booster pump increases the pressure of an existing water supply to give stronger flow at taps, showers and appliances. It can be a small inline pump fitted to the incoming mains, or a larger pump and tank set that draws from a break tank to feed the whole house. Boosters do not create water – they raise the pressure of the water already coming in.
What is the difference between an inline booster and a tank-and-pump booster?
An inline booster connects straight onto the incoming mains and is limited to 12 litres per minute under UK water regulations – examples include the Salamander HomeBoost and WaterBoost WB-Compact. A tank-and-pump booster, such as the Grundfos Home Booster or DAB Esybox with Esytank, draws from a break tank and can deliver much higher flow rates for larger homes with multiple bathrooms.
What is a variable speed booster pump?
A variable speed booster uses an inverter to adjust pump speed in real time to match demand. It maintains constant pressure as outlets open and close, runs more quietly than a fixed-speed pump and typically saves up to 50 per cent of the energy a fixed-speed equivalent would use. The DAB Esybox, DAB Esybox Mini 3 and Grundfos Scala2 are common variable speed examples.
