Who Is the DAB Divertron 900A Best For?

Rainwater Tank Systems

A strong option where household or garden water is supplied directly from a suitable rainwater tank using an in-tank pump.

Domestic Water Pressure

Designed to automatically pressurise clean-water services without requiring a separate external pressure controller beside the tank.

Quiet, Discreet Installations

Locating the pump inside the water source can reduce external pump equipment and move much of the operating noise into the tank.

PRODUCT SUITABILITY

Is the DAB Divertron 900A Right for My Property?

A Good Choice If...

You need automatic pressure from a suitable rainwater tank or other clean stored-water source and prefer a pump installed inside the tank.

Consider Another Pump If...

You need substantially higher flow, variable-speed constant-pressure control, specialised bore duty, dirty-water handling or a surface-mounted pump arrangement.

JR Should Check First If...

Tank access is restricted, the existing pump uses unusual pipework, the power supply is uncertain, the delivery run is long or the property has unusually high simultaneous water demand.

How Does the DAB Divertron 900A Work?

Submersible installation: the pump operates while submerged in a suitable clean-water tank or cistern.

Integrated pressure sensing: the Divertron detects pressure changes when a tap, valve or connected outlet is opened.

Integrated flow sensing: the controller monitors water flow so the pump can respond automatically to demand.

Automatic start and stop: when water is required, the pump starts automatically. When demand finishes, the integrated electronics stop the pump.

Low-water protection: the 900A's float arrangement provides an additional water-level control function suited to tank applications.

Integrated Automatic Pressure Control

One of the main advantages of the Divertron is that the automatic pressure controls are built into the pump rather than relying on a separate external pump controller.

Pressure Switch

Integrated pressure sensing allows the pump to recognise falling system pressure when water demand begins.

Flow Sensor

Integrated flow sensing helps determine when demand is continuing and when the system can stop the pump.

Electronic Protection

DAB integrates control electronics that include automatic operation and protection against dry running.

The Divertron also includes an integrated non-return valve, reducing the number of separate components normally associated with a basic pump-and-controller installation.

Why Choose a Submersible Pressure Pump?

Less Equipment Beside the Tank

The pump itself sits inside the water source, helping keep the external tank area cleaner and less cluttered.

Reduced External Pump Noise

Installing the operating pump below the water level can make the system less noticeable than a surface pump mounted beside the tank.

No Suction-Lift Priming

Because the pump is submerged, it pushes water into the delivery line rather than relying on an above-ground pump to draw water through a suction line.

The trade-off is that the tank must remain accessible enough to remove the pump for future servicing or replacement.

The published maximum-flow and maximum-head figures occur at different operating points on the pump curve. A property should not be expected to receive both maximum values simultaneously. Actual performance depends on elevation, pipework, fittings, pressure demand and the complete hydraulic installation.

Divertron 900A Size & Tank Access

DAB's current dimensional data lists the Divertron 900 body at approximately 536mm high with a maximum pump diameter of 160mm. The manufacturer notes that the 900A float-equipped version uses the same main pump dimensions.

Installation planning still needs to allow more room than the pump dimensions alone. The float must move freely, the delivery connection needs clearance and the pump needs a practical pathway through the tank opening for future removal.

Confirm the actual tank opening, internal obstructions, pipe fittings and float movement before assuming the pump can be installed through an existing access point.

How the Float Works

The Divertron 900A is distinguished from the standard 900 by its float-equipped arrangement.

The float provides water-level control so the pump can be prevented from operating normally when the available tank water falls below the required operating level.

The float needs enough free movement inside the tank. Internal tank walls, pipework, cables, pumps or other fittings should not obstruct its travel.

Float clearance matters. A float that catches on the tank wall, pump pipework or cable can prevent the water-level control from operating as intended.

Divertron 900A Flow & Pressure Performance

Pump performance needs to be understood as a curve rather than a single flow figure.

The Divertron 900 can reach approximately 90L/min toward the high-flow end of its operating range, while its shut-off head is around 45m. As required pressure and vertical head increase, the available flow decreases.

Long pipe runs, small-diameter pipes, filters, valves, bends and elevation all add resistance and reduce the flow available at the final outlet.

JR currently markets the Divertron 900A for substantial normal domestic demand, but the correct pump choice should be based on the actual required pressure and simultaneous flow rather than a tap-count figure alone.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

What Is Required to Install a DAB Divertron 900A?

Suitable clean-water tank or cistern

Tank opening large enough for installation and removal

Safe access to the tank

Suitable delivery pipework

Correct discharge pipe sizing

Float able to move freely

Suitable cable route

Suitable electrical supply

Pump positioned correctly in tank

Connection accessible for future servicing

Pipework capable of handling required pressure

Commissioning after installation

The pump is intended for clean water. It should not be selected as a dirty-water or solids-handling drainage pump.

Installing the Pump Inside the Tank

A submersible pressure pump needs to be installed so the pump, electrical lead, delivery pipe and float can all operate without interference.

The unit should be positioned vertically in accordance with DAB's installation requirements. The pump must not be supported or lifted by its electrical cable.

A suitable retrieval method should remain available so the pump can be removed without pulling on electrical wiring or damaging the delivery connection.

Tank access should remain usable after installation. Permanently obstructing the access point can turn a simple future pump service into a much more difficult job.

Delivery Pipework & Non-Return Protection

The Divertron incorporates a non-return valve as part of the pump design.

The discharge pipe still needs to be correctly sized and routed for the property's required flow and pressure. Undersized pipework can materially reduce performance even when the pump itself is capable of higher flow.

Isolation, additional valves and connection fittings depend on the property and selected JR installation package.

If an existing submersible pump uses smaller, damaged or unsuitable discharge pipework, additional changes may be required before the Divertron can deliver appropriate performance.

Electrical Requirements

DAB specifies the Divertron 900 at 220–240V, 50Hz single-phase supply with 0.92kW input power and approximately 4.2A current.

The pump is supplied with a 15m power cable. The cable route, plug connection and power-point location need to suit the actual tank installation while maintaining safe electrical separation from the water source.

Existing power should not automatically be assumed suitable simply because the previous pump was also submersible.

Where JR's selected package requires a new power point or electrical alteration, that work must be completed under the appropriate electrical scope.

JR Gas & Water provides Divertron 900A supply, replacement and installation across eligible Gold Coast service areas.

Tank-water systems can differ considerably in tank design, pump access, delivery pipework, connected outlets and power arrangements. A pump replacement should therefore be assessed against the existing system rather than treated as an appliance-only changeover.

Where the property matches one of JR's defined Base, Silver or Gold installation scopes, the relevant live option can be selected above.

Can the Divertron 900A Replace My Existing Pump?

Replacing Another 900A

Generally the simplest pathway where the existing delivery pipe, power, tank access and installation arrangement remain suitable.

Replacing Another Submersible Pump

Often possible, but outlet size, control method, float arrangement, electrical connection and pump dimensions need to be checked.

Replacing a Surface Pump

Potentially possible, but converting to an in-tank pump can require substantial changes to plumbing, electrical cable routing and the way the water system is controlled.

Divertron 900A vs Divertron 650A

DAB's 900 and 650 variants use the same basic Divertron concept but provide different pressure and motor performance.

Feature	Divertron 650A	Divertron 900A
Maximum Head	Approximately 30m	Approximately 45m
Input Power P1	0.63kW	0.92kW
Nominal Output P2	0.42kW	0.56kW
Current	2.9A	4.2A
Main Body Height	488mm	536mm
General Position in Range	Lower-pressure Divertron option	Higher-pressure Divertron option

The higher-output pump is not automatically the correct choice. Pump selection should be based on the actual hydraulic duty required by the property.

Divertron 900A vs Surface-Mounted Pressure Pump

Divertron 900A Submersible

Pump operates inside the tank, reducing external pump equipment and avoiding the suction-lift arrangement required by many surface pumps.

Access into the tank is required whenever the pump itself needs to be removed or serviced.

Surface-Mounted Pump

Pump sits outside the tank, which can provide easier direct access for service but requires suitable external mounting space and properly designed suction pipework.

Surface pumps may be preferable where tank access is difficult or the existing installation is already designed around an external pump.

Divertron 900A vs DAB Esybox Diver

Both products place the pump within the water source, but they target different levels of control and system sophistication.

The Divertron is an integrated automatic submersible pressure pump using conventional electronic on/off demand control.

The DAB Esybox Diver belongs to DAB's variable-frequency-drive range and is intended for applications where more advanced variable-speed pressure control and associated system features are required.

Properties needing a straightforward automatic tank pump may not require the added complexity of a variable-speed system, while more demanding pressure applications may benefit from considering one.

Rainwater, Irrigation & Water Quality

DAB specifically lists the Divertron for clean-water pressure boosting, rainwater recovery, gardening and irrigation applications.

The pump should not be expected to make collected rainwater suitable for drinking or other higher-quality uses. Pumping and water treatment are separate functions.

Where tank water is intended for household uses requiring treatment, appropriate filtration, disinfection and water-quality management need to be considered separately.
