Any water source, a pond, pool, hot tub, or water tank can instantly be turned into high powered fire protection. Built with top quality components in America using high pressure pumps designed by Honda, this unit will work when panic sets in. It is self priming, just start and go. A fire truck only carries 500 gallons of water, a 3000 gallon tank is like having six fire trucks at your house. Foam and gel units are available to pretreat houses before evacuation. All plumbing is designed to work with all fire engines, so they can use it to keep full while they protect your property if needed.
