450L/min RapidPro Fire Pump – Portable

A fire pump boosts water pressure and flow so hoses and nozzles can deliver water effectively during firefighting. Without it, low pressure could mean poor water output even if you have a water source.

Fire pumps are designed to deliver higher pressure and consistent flow under emergency loads. They’re built tougher and tested for reliability in demanding situations, unlike standard domestic or garden pumps.

Priming means filling the pump with water so it can create suction. Without priming, the pump just spins air, which can cause damage and reduce performance.

For best performance, always pre-fill pump drum with water before starting motor.

Thanks to its strong suction design, this pump handles water from external sources up to 7m away easily – great for drawing from tanks, dams, or river intakes without complex setup.

It’s petrol powered with a 3.5L fuel tank, giving a good balance between runtime and compact size – ideal for remote or off‑grid firefighting tasks.

Basic maintenance includes checking fuel and oil levels, inspecting seals and hoses for wear, and cleaning any debris from the suction side. Regular checks help prevent issues like loss of suction or pressure drops.

Common causes are air leaks in the suction line, blocked suction hose, or mechanical issues with seals or impeller. Ensure tight connections and clear inlet lines for best performance.

Yes – with the optional Viton seals it can handle diesel or chemical transfer, plus it’s excellent for irrigation, washdown, and high‑pressure water transfer in agricultural or industrial settings.

• Engine oil type: SAE 10W‑30 (multigrade) is recommended for most conditions.

• Alternative for warmer climates: SAE 10W‑40 can be used if it’s consistently hot.

• Quantity: About 0.6 L for a full fill.

Always check the oil level before each use and change the oil after the first 20 hours, then every 50 hours of operation or yearly, whichever comes first.
