If you live on a farm or have animals that can be at risk of fire, you should consider investing in a fire fighting water pump. These pumps are designed to give you the high pressure necessary to combat a fire while waiting for professionals to arrive on scene. These pumps also work great for mop-ups, so you can keep the flames from spreading even more. They are very easy to operate, and although they look similar to a normal garden hose, they are much more resistant to high pressure. The best option is to go with a 1" hose, as this offers the perfect blend of manageability and volume.
Fire fighting water pumps are used when the hydrant system can't provide enough pressure to meet the design requirements of a fire sprinkler system or when there is not a sufficient ground level water storage tank that can be connected to the fire sprinkler system risers and nozzle standpipes. These fire pumps may be electric, diesel or steam powered. They extract fire-fighting water at higher pressure from tanks, ponds, lakes or reservoirs. They can be single-stage volute casing pumps, double-suction radial flow pumps, ring-section pumps or submersible borehole pumps.
Centrifugal fire pumps have long been the backbone of fire suppression apparatus because of their efficiency and versatility. They come in many configurations to meet the needs of different firefighting challenges (structural, high-rise, industrial or wildland). The key consideration when evaluating a fire pump is its ability to perform at the rated nozzle pressure and flow as specified on the pump curve. Another important factor is its resistance to cavitation and NPSH. Cavitation occurs when small vapor pockets form in the pump fluid flow, implode and damage components like the impeller fire fighting water pump
