| Floto-Pump by Waterous For Home Fire Fighting |
| Floto−Pump™ | $2,595 Cdn |
 The Waterous Floto-Pump weighs less than fifty pounds, is self priming, and operates in as little as six inches of water. Durable, powerful, and easy to maintain, it is the clear choice for a quick response to fires in inaccessible areas. It is also an excellent swimming pool fire pump for high risk and high value residential properties. Developed to meet the rugged demands of the United States Forest Service, the Floto-Pump is easily carried by one person. It is available in two models -- Standard and High Pressure (Forest Service). The Standard Floto produces maximum pressures of 105 psi (240' lift) while the High Pressure Floto throws a stream of water over 85 feet (26 m) at 170 psi (392' lift). Although developed for the fire service, the Floto-Pump is also used for marine service, dewatering, pool maintenance, environmental clean-up and irrigation. |
