DAB ESYDOCK MAX Double for a Two-Pump Commercial Booster
This ESYDOCK MAX is the two-position version of DAB's docking base for ESYBOX MAX pumps. Both pumps share one manifold with 2 in NPT suction and discharge connections. The ports can sit on either end, or both on the same end, so the base lines up with an existing header. Each pump seats on its own position and seals to the dock, leaving the pipework in place when a unit comes off. The base measures about 9.1 x 31.9 x 15 in and weighs roughly 39.7 lb. With pumps installed, the set stands about 30.3 in tall. Check valves and expansion vessels live inside the pumps, so the manifold itself has no moving parts. Two of these bases can join with DAB's linking kit to build a 4-pump group. The pumps are sold separately and fit in either position. Plan the pad for the full length of the manifold plus valve clearance at each end.
Running a Twin Booster Set on the ESYDOCK MAX
Most growers choose a two-pump base for redundancy rather than raw capacity. During normal demand one pump carries the header while the other waits, and the pair alternates so wear spreads evenly. When several zones open together, the second pump joins in automatically. If one unit faults, the other keeps water moving, which protects a crop from a missed irrigation cycle. After the first pump is set up, the second synchronizes its settings over the wireless link. Fit isolation valves at both ends of the manifold so either pump can be serviced while the other stays online. Bolt the base to a level pad and leave headroom to lift each pump on and off. Flexible couplings at the manifold ends keep vibration out of rigid pipe runs. The base suits ESYBOX MAX pumps only. Sizing the site around two pumps from day one avoids rebuilding the pump room later.
Key Features
- Two pumps, one manifold: Both ESYBOX MAX units share a single 2 in NPT header, so the pair installs like one booster.
- Duty and standby: Pumps alternate and back each other up, which spreads wear and keeps pressure on through a fault.
- Side-selectable ports: Suction and discharge can sit on either end or the same end to match the existing pipe run.
- Pump removal without re-plumbing: Each pump lifts off its position for service or winter storage while the header stays sealed.
- Expandable to four: Two double bases join with DAB's linking kit, so the system can grow to four pumps.
