Product Description
The DAB Leader Divertron 1200M is a high quality intelligent 1HP multi-stage DAB submersible pump with 4 impellers and electronic flow control (i.e. it will automatically pump on demand).
There is a new and improved 2nd generation of this Divertron pump now available. Please see the DAB Divertron 900 Mesh.
At 6" (150mm) at the widest point it is ideal wells or bore holes when rainwater tanks located above any bottom sludge or debris. Also ideal for pressure boosting applications in residential buildings, irrigation and rainwater reuse.
Also known as the Leader Divertron 1200 MESH pump, (and Flipper pumps in Europe) the electronic flow control of the DAB Divertron 1200 pump responds to the pressure in the outlet pipe. As the user draws water (by opening a tap or similar) the pump automatically starts. Turn the demand for water off and the pump cuts out automatically.
Designed to last, the Divertron 1200X is manufactured with anti-corrosive and rust-proof materials and has a wear resistant shaft. The motor has thermal overload protection.
This pump is designed for pumping clean water only. The impeller will be damaged if abrasives and solids are run through it. It has a built-in mesh screen at the base of the pump, however the pump must not sit on the bottom of the tank/well/borehole and must be kept within 15o of vertical - they can be suspended using a suitable lifting cable (not supplied).
It is water proof (IP68) and designed to run in submerged situations either inside or outside.
This submersible pump has built in dry-run protection, however can be used in conjunction with a float switch for extra protection as required as these pumps need to be kept fully submerged while running, if there is a chance your tank will run low and partially or fully expose the pump this is not the pump for you. Either install a mains water top up controller, or choose from our range of SteelPumps (which are designed to run perfectly in or out of water). The X-AJE120P would be a comparible pump.
Supplied with a 15 metre power cable with 2-pin (Schuko) plug and integral non return valve. This pump is typically hard wired to a control panel for mains water top up systems, and to a single fused spur outlet circuit.
A pressure vessel (not included) within your pump system will help prevent false re-starts due to small leaks and increase the lifespan of the pump.
Optional Extras
Pressure Vessel
It is recommended to install a small pressure vessel (expansion tank) with this pump. A pressure vessel provides a reserve of pressurised water to your system and therefore limit the number of starts of and wear on the pump when it is used for quick short periods of time. It therefore prolongs the life of your pump. For example, if someone were to wash their hands, water would initially come from that stored inside the pressure tank, if the tap was then closed, the pressure vessel would automatically refill from the mains pressure without the need for the pump. The pump would only need to kick in once the pressurised water from the tank has been used ie. if you were to fill a bath or use the shower.
Pressure vessels also protect the pump from Water Hammer by absorbing any shock to the system for example if a tap is closed too quickly.
Connecting to pipes and hoses
To connect to a garden hose we recommend purchasing a 1" multi-hose reducer. If however you intend to connect hard blue or black 32mm MDPE pipe to the pump, you will need a 1" compression adapter (please ensure you select the correct size on the compression adapter page).
