Commercial constant-pressure booster stations built from one to four Esybox Max pumps. Each pump carries its own variable frequency drive, sensors and check valve; the group pairs wirelessly, alternates duty and holds one pressure from a compact, wall-adjacent footprint. Up to 136 psi of boost for tall buildings, with engineering-led sizing and shipment in 24 to 48 hours.

DAB Pumps is an Italian pump manufacturer and part of the Grundfos Group, which has owned the brand for more than 25 years. Esybox Max is DAB’s commercial platform: a vertical multistage pump, water-cooled permanent magnet motor, inverter, pressure sensors, non-return valve and expansion vessel in one unit that docks onto the Esydock Max manifold. Stations for condominiums, hotels, offices, schools and buildings over 14 floors are built one pump at a time, on site, by one installer.
Watermain Supply is an Authorized Stocking DAB Distributor. We supply complete Esybox Max duplex, triplex and quadplex systems with the dock, Esy I/O module and a supplemental tank, plus the single Esybox Max, Esybox and Esybox Mini3.

DAB’s overview of the platform, and how two Esybox Max units pair into one group without control wiring.
Esybox Max product overview
How to pair Esybox Max units into a group
Complete stations, delivered as one order: the pumps, the Esydock Max manifold, the Esy I/O module and a supplemental diaphragm tank. Choose the pump count, then the model for your pressure and power.

Duty and standby in one station
Two Esybox Max pumps on the 2 Esydock Max twin manifold. At light demand one pump modulates; as demand rises the second joins, and lead duty rotates on run time. Set one pump as reserve and the building keeps pressure while the other is serviced.

N+1 for tall buildings
Three Esybox Max pumps on the 3 Esydock Max triple manifold. Two carry design demand while the third stands by, so a tall building keeps full pressure with any one pump out of service. The group stages pumps in and out as demand swings.

Maximum group, wide demand swings
Four Esybox Max pumps on two twin Esydock Max docks, joined on suction and discharge by the joint kit we supply. DAB states the four-pump flow is double the two-pump flow at the same pressure, which gives the widest turndown in the range: one pump at night, four at the morning peak.
We sell both, and they are built for different buildings. The duty decides, and we will tell you which one wins before you order.
Four pump models share one platform, one dock and one control logic. Pick the model by the pressure you need and the power you have; pick the pump count by the flow and redundancy you need.

Per-pump data from DAB Esybox Max US Technical Sheet 50250413 (01/2026). Group flows are DAB’s published group maximums at low head. Max boost is DAB’s maximum differential pressure, the most the pump adds on top of the inlet; the controller set point range is 15 to 174 psi, and boost falls as flow rises (see Performance).
We sell every line below, so we can be straight about fit. Specifications are taken from our own product pages for each brand.
| Specification | DAB Esybox Max | Grundfos CMBE TWIN | Franklin Electric Inline SpecPAK | Goulds Aquavar e-AB3 |

Verdict. Esybox Max leads on pressure (to 136 psi), on pump count (up to four on one dock family) and on warranty. Grundfos CMBE TWIN is the better buy for a small duplex under about 50 GPM or on 115V. Franklin Inline SpecPAK wins where the specification calls for a UL 508A panel, a touchscreen HMI and 3 or 4 in grooved headers with all-stainless wetted parts, and its warranty extends to 36 months with the start-up form. Goulds Aquavar e-AB3 suits single-phase jobs under 80 psi of boost.

Two numbers pick the system: required boost and peak flow. Get both right and the model and pump count follow.
Setpoint = pressure needed at the highest fixture + 0.433 psi per foot of elevation to it + friction losses. Required boost = setpoint − inlet pressure measured at peak demand, not at noon.
Use fixture units on Hunter’s curve (IPC Table 604.3) for residential and multifamily, and the IAPMO Water Demand Calculator for light commercial. Peak simultaneous demand sizes the system, never the total connected load.
Inlet pressure to 73 psi, system pressure to 174 psi, liquid to 104°F, ambient to 113°F. Confirm the power: the 85/120 and 60/120 T are three-phase 380-480V. If the required boost lands past 70 percent of the model’s maximum head at your design flow, step up a model or a pump.
Pressure added by the whole group, all pumps running at full speed, from DAB’s published group data. Read across at your peak flow; the figure must exceed your required boost with margin.

Source: DAB Esybox Max US Technical Sheet 50250413 (01/2026), group performance data; curve tolerance per ISO 9906. The 45/120 table ends at its last published point. DAB publishes no separate four-pump curve and states that four-pump flow is double the two-pump flow; the quadplex table applies that instruction. Head in feet = psi ÷ 0.433. Request the manufacturer curve for your duty point before specifying.
The award-winning technology shared by every pump in the group, and why it matters on an installation.
Each pump carries its drive, pressure sensors, check valve and expansion vessel. Set the pressure on the display, dock the pump, connect power. No control panel to buy, mount or wire, which keeps installed cost down.
Start with the pumps you need today on a dock sized for tomorrow. Groups run one to four pumps, and one installer can assemble the station on site.
Four impellers on the 85/120 deliver 315 ft of head from a 4.7 HP motor. Tall buildings get their pressure without a large skid or a large electrical service.
The inverter varies speed to hold one setpoint as fixtures open and close. Showers stay steady on the top floor and there is no water hammer from hard starts.
Pump power falls steeply with speed, so a variable speed group running at part load uses a fraction of the energy of fixed-speed pumps. The permanent magnet motor adds efficiency at every speed.
The pumped water cools the motor, so there is no fan. Esybox Max installs next to occupied space and in rooms with little air movement.
Pumps find each other over DAB’s built-in wireless link, alternate duty on run time and stage in as demand rises. Any pump can be set as reserve.
Built-in Wi-Fi connects to H2D, DAB’s app, for live status and alarm alerts; the Premium tier adds remote settings and full history. The Esy I/O module adds float and pressure switch inputs, remote alarm and Modbus to the building system.
Factory accessories that complete an installation. Order them with the pumps so the job ships together.
Version 1 (60206085): float switch, pressure switch, remote alarm and Modbus BMS inputs. Included with every Esybox Max system.
