DAB Esybox 60161181 variable speed booster pump
- Established 1975
- Trusted by thousands of customers
The DAB Esybox 60161181 is the flagship DAB variable speed booster pump — a fully integrated all-in-one unit combining a self-priming multi-stage pump, inverter, pressure and flow sensors, 2-litre expansion vessel, and an orientable LCD display in a single compact housing. Delivering up to 80 l/min at 3bar, it is suited to larger domestic homes, small commercial premises, wells, boreholes, and rainwater harvesting systems.
The variable speed inverter continuously matches motor speed to demand — maintaining constant pressure at every outlet while significantly reducing energy consumption. Built-in WiFi connects to the DAB H2D app for remote monitoring, with Google Home and Amazon Alexa voice control included. Self-primes to 8m. Installs horizontally, vertically, or wall-mounted. Compatible with Esydock and Esytwin for multi-pump setups of up to four units.
WRAS approved for potable water. Comprehensive built-in protections: dry-run, overtemperature, anti-frost, anti-cycling, and voltage anomaly. 3-year DAB warranty. Note: must be fed from a break tank — direct mains connection is not permitted.

More about this product
The DAB Esybox is DAB’s flagship all-in-one electronic pressurisation system, designed for domestic and commercial properties with higher water demand. It combines a self-priming multi-stage pump, integrated inverter, pressure and flow sensors, a 2-litre expansion vessel, and an orientable LCD display — all in a single housing.
The variable speed motor continuously adjusts to match demand, delivering constant pressure to every outlet without wasting energy. At just 43 dB(A) — quieter than a library — it is suitable for installation anywhere in the home, including living areas.
Built-in WiFi connects to the DAB H2D app for remote monitoring and control, and integrates with Google Home and Amazon Alexa for voice control. Comes with a 3-year DAB manufacturer warranty when purchased from Anglian Pumping Services.
How much does it cost and what’s included?
£683.00 + VAT (£819.60 inc VAT) with free standard UK delivery. Next-day delivery is £15.00 + VAT on orders placed before 12 noon.
What warranty is included?
3 years manufacturer warranty direct from DAB, when purchased from Anglian Pumping Services, an authorised DAB distributor.
What is the difference between the Esybox and the Esybox Mini 3?
The full-size Esybox has a higher flow rate (120 vs 80 l/min), greater head (65m vs 55m), more power (1.4 vs 0.85 kW), a larger 2-litre expansion vessel (vs 1 litre), and is even quieter at 43 dB(A) vs 45 dB(A). It also adds voice control via Google Home and Amazon Alexa. It is suited to larger homes, commercial use, and multi-pump Esytwin configurations. The Mini 3 is the more compact, lower-cost choice for smaller domestic properties.
Is it WRAS approved for drinking water?
Yes. The Esybox holds full WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval, confirming it is safe and legal for connection to potable (drinking) water supplies across the UK.
How does the WiFi and voice control work?
Built-in WiFi connects to the DAB H2D app, giving you remote monitoring of pressure, flow, power, and speed, plus the ability to change settings and receive fault alerts. The pump also integrates with Google Home and Amazon Alexa — say “Hey Google, power shower” to boost pressure, or “Hey Google, sleep mode” to quieten the pump overnight.
How quiet is it?
At 43 dB(A) at 1 metre the Esybox is quieter than a library. The water-cooled motor sits inside a sound-absorbing ABS housing, making it genuinely suitable for installation in kitchens, utility rooms, and even living areas.
Can it connect directly to the mains?
No — it must draw from a break tank or cold water storage cistern. Direct mains connection is not permitted under WRAS regulations.
What is the Esydock and Esytwin?
The Esydock is a docking station with integrated pipework that allows the Esybox to be connected and disconnected from the system without tools — ideal for easy servicing. The Esytwin is a dual docking base that links two Esybox units together, doubling capacity. Up to four Esybox units can be linked in total, creating high-output pressure units for larger commercial or multi-dwelling sites.
Can it draw from a well, borehole, or rainwater tank?
Yes. Self-priming to 8 metres depth — no separate priming pump required. Suitable for shallow wells, boreholes, and below-ground rainwater tanks. Keep incoming water below 35°C (40°C for non-domestic use).
Does it have dry-run and fault protection?
Yes. The Esybox includes comprehensive built-in protections: dry-run shutdown, overtemperature, voltage anomaly, anti-blocking, anti-cycling, and anti-frost. All faults are logged and viewable in the H2D app.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about the DAB Esybox 60161181 variable speed booster pump. For technical specifications, see the product details above; for sizing or installation advice, contact our team. If you have any other questions, we're happy to help.
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.
