Your new pump house, run from your phone.

Start here: your pump runs on WiFi

The most important thing about your new pump is that it talks to your phone. Once it's on WiFi, you can see your water pressure live, get an alert the moment something goes wrong, and change your pressure from the couch — all through the free DAB Live app. Here's the whole thing in three parts.

1 · Set it up (once)

1. Download "DAB Live" from the Apple App Store or Google Play and create a free account.
2. Stand next to the pump with your home WiFi name and password handy. It joins a normal 2.4 GHz WiFi network.
3. In the app, tap to add a product and follow the steps — it finds the Esybox Mini 3 and hands it your WiFi name and password.
4. If the sticker above the screen says "Update Me By App," do a one-time update first with the separate "DConnect" app (about 3–5 minutes — don't cut power), then come back to DAB Live and connect.

2 · Use it (day to day)

• Watch it. Open DAB Live to see live water pressure and whether the pump is running.
• Set your pressure. Change the target pressure right in the app (or at the pump — see Setting your water pressure).
• Get alerts. The app pings your phone if the pump faults out — for example, if it loses its water supply.

3 · Maintain it

• Leave it powered year-round. WiFi monitoring and freeze protection only work while the pump has power.
• Keep the pump house dry and ventilated. The electronics live inside this pump — don't let it sit in water or bake shut in summer.
• Glance at the app now and then. If the pump starts running more often with no new water use, that's an early sign of a leak — cheaper caught early.
• Take firmware updates when the app offers them, and never interrupt one while it's running.

That's the essentials. The rest of this manual goes deeper on each piece — including the full WiFi & DAB Live walkthrough.

What you have

Your pump house now runs on a DAB Esybox Mini 3 — an all-in-one electronic booster pump. Where an old setup used a separate pump, a big pressure tank, and a mechanical pressure switch, the Esybox Mini 3 packs the pump, the motor, the electronics and a small built-in tank into one quiet unit. A computer inside it (an "inverter") speeds the motor up and slows it down to hold your water pressure steady, no matter how many taps are open.

The short version: it runs itself. You turn on a faucet, it wakes up and delivers pressure; you shut the water off, it winds down and sleeps. The two things this manual really wants you to know are how to set your pressure and how to watch the pump over WiFi.

How it works

A traditional pump runs flat-out until the tank fills, clicks off, then clicks back on when the pressure drops — so your water pressure is always bouncing up and down, and the pump is always slamming on and off. The Esybox Mini 3 works differently:

• Variable speed. It runs the motor only as fast as it needs to for the water you're actually using — a trickle for one faucet, full song for the whole house.
• Constant pressure. It aims for one pressure you choose (the "setpoint," shown as SP) and holds it there, so the shower doesn't surge when someone flushes.
• Soft and quiet. Because it ramps up and down instead of banging on and off, it's easier on your plumbing and a lot quieter.
• Small built-in tank. A little internal tank absorbs small draws so the pump doesn't have to start for every drop. (If a separate pressure tank was added on your system, it does the same job on a larger scale — see upkeep.)

Everyday operation

In normal use there is nothing to do — leave it powered on and let it work. The front of the pump has a small display and buttons (Mode, Set, + and −). The screen sleeps to save power; press Set to wake it and see the current pressure and status.

WiFi & the DAB Live app

This is the part that makes the new pump house special: you can see your water system on your phone — live pressure, whether it's running, and an alert if something's wrong — and change your pressure setting without walking out to the pump.

Step 1 — Know which version you have

DAB has shipped a few generations of the Esybox Mini 3, and how it connects depends on yours. Look at the sticker above the display:

• A "DAB Live App" sticker (the newest units) means it talks straight to your home WiFi and the DAB Live app — no extra box needed.
• An "Update Me By App" sticker means it needs a quick one-time software update (Step 4) before it will join WiFi directly.
• Older units (no sticker) may need a small accessory called a DConnect Box to reach the internet. If that's yours, we'll have told you — and we can add one.

Step 2 — Get the app

1. Download "DAB Live" from the Apple App Store or Google Play. (There is also an older "DConnect" app — you'll only need that one for software updates, Step 4.)
2. Create a free account and sign in. Use an email you'll keep; it's how the app remembers your pump.

Step 3 — Connect the pump to your WiFi

1. Stand near the pump with your phone and have your home WiFi name and password handy. The pump connects to a normal 2.4 GHz home network.
2. In DAB Live, add a new product and follow the on-screen steps. The app will find the Esybox Mini 3 and walk you through handing it your WiFi name and password.
3. Wait for it to link up. Once it's on, the app shows your pump with live pressure and status. That's it — you're connected.

Step 4 — One-time software update (only if your sticker says "Update Me By App")

1. Install the "DConnect" app (separate from DAB Live) and sign in.
2. Follow the in-app update. The update runs through the DConnect app and takes roughly 3–5 minutes. Don't cut power while it runs.
3. After it finishes, go back to DAB Live and connect to your WiFi as in Step 3.

What the app lets you do

• See it live — current water pressure, whether the pump is running, and how hard it's working.
• Change your pressure setpoint from your phone (same setting as SP below).
• Get alerts — a notification if the pump faults out (for example, if it loses its water supply).
• Keep records — the pump's history and settings live in your account, which also makes it easy for us to help you remotely.

Setting your water pressure

Your pressure is the SP ("setpoint") value. The easiest way to change it is right in the DAB Live app. To set it at the pump itself:

1. Wake the screen — press Set so the display lights up.
2. Open the setpoint — press Mode and Set together and hold about 3 seconds, until SP appears.
3. Adjust — use + and − to raise or lower the pressure.
4. Save — press Set to store it. Done.

Automatic protections

The Esybox Mini 3 looks after itself. Some of the things it does automatically:

• Dry-run / lack-of-water protection. If the well or supply runs dry, the pump stops itself instead of burning up running on air, shows an alarm, and retries on its own after a wait.
• Freeze protection. As long as it has power, it will gently turn the motor when it gets near freezing to keep water moving — one more reason to leave it powered all winter.
• Anti-cycling. It avoids rapid on/off starts that wear a pump out, and it can flag a running toilet or a small leak that keeps it cycling.
• Over-pressure and electrical protection. It guards against over-pressure and against electrical faults, shutting down safely and reporting the problem.

When any of these trips, the pump shows a fault on its display and — if it's on WiFi — sends an alert to the app. Most clear themselves once the cause is fixed (water comes back, leak is stopped). If a fault keeps coming back, that's our cue, not yours to force.

Routine upkeep

• Keep the pump house dry and ventilated. The electronics live inside this pump — don't let it sit in standing water, and keep the space from baking closed in summer.
• Leave power on year-round so freeze protection and WiFi monitoring keep working.
• If you have a separate pressure tank (added alongside the pump), its air pre-charge should be checked periodically and set to match your pressure setting. This is a quick job we can do on a service visit — don't guess at it with the system pressurized.
• Watch the app now and then. A slow creep in how often the pump runs, with no new water use, is an early sign of a leak or a tank losing its charge — cheaper to catch early.

Quick troubleshooting

• No water at all. Check the breaker and that the pump has power and a lit screen. If it shows a lack-of-water alarm, your well or supply likely ran low — give it time to recover, then call us if it doesn't.
• Weak pressure. Wake the screen and check the live pressure against your SP. If SP looks right but pressure is low, call us — it may be the supply, a filter, or a clog rather than the pump.
• Pump keeps starting when no one's using water. Usually a running toilet, a dripping valve, or a small leak. Worth chasing down; the app's run history helps.
• App can't see the pump. Confirm the pump has power, your WiFi is up, and signal reaches the pump house (a leak of a different kind — signal). Re-open DAB Live; if it stays offline, an extender near the pump house usually solves it.
• A fault that won't clear. Note what the screen or app says and call us with it — that message tells us a lot before we even arrive.

When to call us

You handle the app and the pressure setting; we handle everything with a cover on it. Call Royall's if a fault won't clear, the pressure isn't right after a setpoint change, the pump cycles with no water use, you're adding or checking a pressure tank, or you just want us to walk through the app with you the first time. We set your system up and we're glad to talk it through.
