Why High Flow Water Pumps for Fire Defense


Why Your Home Deserves the West Coast Fire Defense High-Flow Pump System
When wildfires approach, water is your lifeline—and not all pumps are created equal. The right pump can mean the difference between a standing home and devastating loss. Choosing the wrong setup can leave your property exposed and vulnerable at the worst possible time.
Here's exactly why the West Coast Fire Defense High-Flow Water Pump System is the smartest choice you can make:
Exceptional Gallons Per Minute (GPM)
Most residential fire pumps barely meet minimum standards. Our system delivers a robust 158.5 GPM—far exceeding the basic 150 GPM recommendation and providing comprehensive coverage to quickly saturate roofs, walls, vegetation, and defensible zones before embers arrive.
Powerful Pressure Performance
Pressure matters
our system doesn't compromise. Offering an impressive 87 PSI, our pump ensures water reaches distant sprinklers, roof-mounted rain guns, and remote corners of your property, maintaining powerful and consistent spray.
Strong Suction & Head Lift Capabilities
Our pump provides a maximum suction lift of 26.25 feet and an exceptional head lift of 262.47 feet. This robust power means your system can reliably pull water from pools, ponds, or tanks and push it across your property—even uphill or through multiple hose lengths.
Dependable Engine Performance
Powered by a reliable, CARB-certified 15 HP gas engine with 420cc displacement, our system features:
Electric and recoil start
Low-oil shutdown protection
1.59-gallon fuel capacity for extended run times
Complete Fire Defense Kit Included
When you choose West Coast Fire Defense, you don't just buy a pump—you get a complete system:
High-flow water pump
65-foot fire hose rated for high-pressure applications
Professional-grade polycarbonate adjustable firefighting nozzle
Intake filter and hose clamps
Durable cart for easy transport and rapid deployment
Robust agricultural-style rain gun for extensive coverage and powerful ember defense
Foam Compatibility for Advanced Protection
Upgrade easily to incorporate our recommended Firefighting Foam—PFAS-free, environmentally safe, and trusted by fire departments nationwide. With adjustable concentration ratios, it's easy to manage and drastically boosts fire suppression capabilities.
Significant Cost Savings & Comprehensive Solution
If purchased separately, individual components (pump, hoses, nozzles, suction tubing, rain gun, and cart) can add up quickly. Our bundled kit offers unbeatable value, saving you substantial money while ensuring complete, reliable wildfire defense.
At West Coast Fire Defense, our systems are built based on direct firefighter input and real-world performance. Every element—from the rugged aluminum alloy construction and adjustable firefighting nozzles to powerful agricultural rain guns—is purpose-built to protect your home.
