Pump Information
The pump shown above can supply water to 50 feet SprayHose.
Longer hoses will require larger pumps.
An Australian company sells a diesel powered pump that can be started via a cell phone app. This allows a homeowner to evacuate when a fire is coming, and then start the pump spraying when the fire arrives. Firefighters in planes, or drones can broadcast where the fire is located in real time. The homeowner can turn on the spray when to fire is reported to be near the home.
It is also possible to use an Infrared Detector to start the pump when the fire comes near the house.
Water Supply Information
The SprayHose requires much more water than a household garden faucet can supply.
The water tank shown above can supply the needed water at low cost.
A typical single spray nozzle can deliver 9 gallons per minute of water.
