Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What flow rate do I need for a portable fire pump?
A: For wildland fire suppression and rural property protection, pumps in the 50-150 GPM range are common. Consider both flow rate and pressure — you need enough pressure to push water through your hose length.
Q: Can I use a regular water pump for fire suppression?
A: Dedicated fire pumps are designed for high-pressure, high-reliability demands. They start quickly, run continuously under heavy load, and deliver consistent pressure through long hose runs.
Q: What accessories do I need with a portable fire pump?
A: At minimum: fire-rated hose, a nozzle appropriate for your application, suction hose to draw from your water source, and a strainer to prevent debris from entering the pump.
