Award-winning EsyBox Pop takes centre stage in new DAB Pumps video
new product video from DAB Pumps is shining a spotlight
on the capabilities of its latest pressure boosting solution, the EsyBox Pop.
The video demonstrates how the compact unit delivers reliable water pressure boosting in a format designed to simplify installation while maintaining the performance standards associated with the wider EsyBox range.
As the newest and smallest member of DAB’s EsyBox family, EsyBox Pop has been developed to provide installers with a highly compact, integrated boosting solution suited to residential and light commercial applications where space is limited but performance remains critical. Further strengthening its credentials for UK installations, EsyBox Pop has now achieved approval from the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS), confirming its compliance with UK water regulations and providing reassurance for installers and specifiers working on potable water systems.
Alongside its regulatory compliance, the product has also received international recognition for its design. The EsyBox Pop was awarded the prestigious iF Design Award 2025, a globally respected accolade that recognises outstanding product design, engineering quality and user- focused innovation.
Adam Ferneyhough, country director for the UK & Ireland at DAB Pumps, says: “We created this video to give installers and specifiers a clearer look at how EsyBox Pop works in real-world applications. When you’re dealing with compact plant spaces or retrofit situations, seeing how a system fits and operates can be far more useful than simply reading a specification sheet.” To watch the video visit

NIBE heat pump technology selected for luxury heritage suite at Glenapp Castle
IBE Energy Systems Limited has been selected to deliver the heating solution for a new standalone wellness suite at Glenapp Castle, a five-star luxury hotel on Scotland’s southwest coast, highlighting how advanced heat pump technology can be successfully
integrated into heritage and high-end hospitality settings. Located within the castle’s historic walled garden on Scotland’s southwest coast, The Nest is a new luxury suite designed around privacy, wellbeing and nature. The project demonstrates how modern heating systems can be specified in sensitive environments where performance, comfort and minimal noise are critical.
Paul Szkiler, owner of Glenapp Castle, commented: “With The Nest, we are responding to growing demand for private, wellness-led spaces that support longer stays and a more immersive experience. It allows us to enhance our guest offering while meeting the expectations of a more experience-driven traveller.”
For installers and specifiers, the project provides a strong example of how heat pump technology can be applied across a wide range of property types, including architecturally significant sites. The system installed at Glenapp Castle delivers ultra-quiet operation alongside high levels of energy efficiency, ensuring guest comfort without compromising the tranquillity of the surrounding environment. Paul Smith, managing director of NIBE Energy Systems Limited, said: “Projects like Glenapp Castle demonstrate that heat pumps can be specified in even the most design-sensitive and heritage environments without compromise.”

Condair strikes a chord with forth pipe organs
F
orth Pipe Organs, a specialist pipe organ builder, restorer and maintainer, has been incorporating Condair humidifiers into its projects for over 20 years to help protect instruments from the dangers of dry air and ensure they remain mechanically stable and tonally consistent.
David Page, director at Forth Pipe Organs, comments: “Pipe
organs are constantly reacting to the air around them. When humidity drops too low, timber components move, leather parts stiffen and tuning stability suffers. Maintaining relative humidity between 40% and 50% is essential for protecting their long-term integrity and performance.” David continues: “Condair’s humidifiers and application advice always help us find the right humidity solution. This allows us to focus on the organ itself, knowing the environmental conditions are being properly managed.” Steve Hale, special projects contractor for Condair, comments: “Many church installations and enclosed organ chambers require localised humidity control. In these situations, compact steam humidifiers with fan-assisted distribution can be positioned close to, or even inside, the instrument, delivering targeted humidification directly to sensitive components. This provides effective protection even where no central ventilation system exists or where heating is used only intermittently.” Steve concludes: “When selecting the most appropriate humidification solution for a pipe organ project, it’s important to consider not just the size of the space, but how air moves through it and within the organ itself. Ensuring balanced humidity throughout the internals of the organ, rather than in just one area, is critical.”

Vertical DX AHU offers flexible, low-carbon ventilation in large spaces
D
aikin Applied (UK) has expanded its air handling unit portfolio with the launch of its new Vertical DX series, a floor-standing, plug-and-play solution designed to deliver energy-efficient ventilation and precise climate control in large indoor environments. Engineered for seamless integration with Daikin VRV and ERA systems, the Vertical DX unit provides a practical alternative to traditional centralised ventilation systems, particularly in applications where installation constraints, variable occupancy, and energy performance are key considerations.
The Vertical DX unit has been developed to address complex ventilation challenges through a decentralised ventilation approach. By delivering air treatment closer to occupied zones, it reduces system losses, improves responsiveness, and enables more accurate control of airflow and temperature.
The unit’s compact, floor-mounted design allows it to be installed with minimal disruption, often without the need for ductwork. This significantly reduces installation time, cost, and complexity while maintaining the option for ducted configurations where required.
At the heart of the system is a factory-installed, fully wired direct expansion (DX) kit, allowing refrigerant to circulate directly within the unit. By eliminating the need for a secondary water circuit, the system reduces energy losses, system footprint, and installation requirements.
“The launch reflects a need for more flexible and efficient ventilation solutions
in large, complex spaces,” said Paul Harris, national AHU sales manager at Daikin Applied (UK). By combining decentralised design with integrated DX technology, we are helping customers simplify installation, reduce energy consumption, and maintain high levels of comfort, even in demanding environments.”
