Nobody ever mentions that you can connect this mini3 to your house network and control it with the dab live app. I like the feature where you can set it to full power for a period of time, say 10 minutes when taking a shower, by simply using your phone. It also has a sleep mode for the nightly hours, to reduce power consumption. I just bought this box, and I had to upgrade the firmware first, which is a bit of a PITA, but I'm overall pretty happy with it.
@@FilterShopZa I've been playing with that functionality a bit over the last few weeks. It's promising, but unfortunately still has some development left... the most annoying issue is that the 'power shower' functionality defaults to 5 minutes, no matter what you do ;-)
Thanks a lot for the incredible review with details of the manometer. When opening the faucet with a 3 bar target it goes down to 1 bar until it picks up again after a couple of secods, Is there any way to avoid this? I have a water softener that needs a minimum pressure of 2.5 bar to operate and I wouldn't like to have this drop everytime I open a faucet.
Hi, Is it on a Mini3 that your having the problem? It sounds like the pressure loss is to quick for it to respond. The only practical option is to add a pressurized buffer tank to give it more time. I would think ideally a 60L tank, but something as small as a 24L could work.
the dab mini comes set at 3bar pressure ... how can i increase the bar pressure ? as i understand it you have to unscrew the panel to the left and do another procedure, it's not just changing the bar pressure with the up and down arrows
thanks for the informative content, always helpful, question...is this common with the DAB Esybox mini, that it over pressures the line? My Esybox mini seems to do the same thing, where the pressure is set to 2.7 bar on the pump but often the external pressure gauge shows 3 bar..
I think the reason might be that it has a very small buffer tank and it is a multistage pump with quite a bit of inertia. Then ot stops the pump doesn't stop immediately and the pressure tank isn't big enough to store the extra water without noticeable increase in pressure. This is my thinking on it, it could also just be that the calibration is a bit off.
@@FilterShopZa so i have 2x 60L pressure vessels connected after the DAB, so it can be that, im tending to think it might be the pressure switch is not calibrated correctly..
@@yugeshb5309 Yes, sounds like it. What I would recommend is setting the pressure drop bigger on the dab, the default is 0.3Bar drop before it turns on. You can set it to 1 Bar and then while your tanks are empty set the air pressure to about 0.1Bar under the turn on point for the pump. That will save you some extra power.
@@FilterShopZa pressure drop was set to 1 bar already, but what seemed to help was changing the "turn off delay" from 30 seconds to 15 seconds, now it only over pressures slightly...thanks again for the awesome content, keep at it..
Where are you based as in South Africa Dab has quite good support and a good repair center. I would contact them and hopefully they can sort it for you.
That counts for any pump as most pumps do produce quite a bit of noise. This is one of the quietest ones but it is only true when set to low pressure, if you have it set to 4 Bar it is basically going to be flat out 90% of the time and then it will be very noisy.
@@FilterShopZa thank you for answering. I might prefer buying the e.sybox rather than the mini 3. If i am focusing on 60 psi output pressure as that is what I am looking for. Is there any other better pump than the 220V e.sybox? At those 60 psi or 4 bar it seems to be still quiet.
Hi @@AMSMunichz , The Esybox is a good option and definitely the quietest option, the only other alternative I can recommend is the HMS1500. Here is its review: ruclips.net/video/M9vkMIpSta0/видео.html

Yes if you add the D-connect box it has some really cool options.

@@servercareis it a free cost app?
@@AMSMunichz Yes it is.
How do you set the delay? I don't want pump to come on when I flush the toilet

Thanks @@yugeshb5309 , and thanks for the tip good to know!
Mine fail after one year of semi use and one entire year of use, I hear they are very expensive to fix, what do you know?

@@FilterShopZa thank you
Pretty noisy pumps for inside your house. You need it in a basement or outbuilding if possible.
That counts for any pump as most pumps do produce quite a bit of noise. This is one of the quietest ones but it is only true when set to low pressure, if you have it set to 4 Bar it is basically going to be flat out 90% of the time and then it will be very noisy.
What about casing this pump to make it less louder?
Everything is isolated on rubbers internally
@@FilterShopZa thank you for answering.
