life and prevents water from entering the sewer system immediately. Traditionally, incorporating rain gardens into hard landscaping like this, however, has required bespoke detailing, with design teams often needing to adapt standard kerbs or paving to allow water entry. This bespoke approach has slowed down the process and increased on-site complexity. To help solve this, an off-the-shelf system has been developed consisting
of three simple elements to make adding rain gardens to a new development easier than ever.
Combining a left hand inlet, right hand inlet and a complementary diffuser fl ag, available in a variety of sies and fi nishes, it is a true fi rst of its kind’ system which will create both time and cost savings on site when compared to cutting or repurposing standard kerbs.

www.stelrad.com/trade More pressure in less space: DAB Pumps launches the EsyTwin Mini
DAB Pumps has launched the EsyTwin Mini, a twin-pump booster set designed specifi cally for the EsyBox Mini3, off ering a smart solution for when a single pump just isn’t enough. Whether it’s higher fl ow rates, added redundancy or just future-proofi ng an installation, the EsyTwin Mini delivers extra performance without demanding extra space. The EsyBox Mini3 is already a fi rm favourite with installers who are looking to achieve consistent water pressure in residential and light commercial buildings. Compact, quiet and energy-effi cient, it’s ideal for boosting pressure from taps and showers to garden irrigation systems. Now, with the EsyTwin Mini, users can double that performance by pairing two Mini3s in a single, integrated unit; it means greater fl ow capacity and the option of alternating duty cycles to prolong system life. Unlike many twin-pump systems, the EsyTwin Mini doesn’t require hardwiring between units. Instead, up to four EsyBox Mini3s can communicate wirelessly, simplifying commissioning and making future expansion far easier. The system also integrates with DAB’s DConnect platform, allowing for remote monitoring and control to suit both homeowners and installers alike. The EsyTwin Mini is ideal wherever consistent water pressure and compact installation matter.
