Constant Pressure for Modern Homes
DAB EsyTank Booster System
Low Water Pressure? There’s a Proper Way to Fix It.

Why You Cannot Connect a Pump Directly to Mains Water
Australian plumbing regulations do not allow a pressure pump to be connected directly to the mains water supply.
Doing so can:
- Create a backflow risk in the public supply
- Cause negative pressure issues
- Damage infrastructure
- Breach plumbing compliance requirements
The correct solution is to install a break tank between the mains supply and the pump.
The Correct Solution: Break Tank + Pressure Pump
A break tank (also called a buffer tank) is connected to the mains supply via a float valve. The pressure pump then draws from this tank — not directly from the mains.
This provides:
- Fully compliant installation
- Stable water supply to the pump
- Protection of the public water system
- Consistent household pressure
