All FireFighter™ Hose System come with a custom adapter you, or your pool professional, install to the high pressure side of your pool pump, before the filter, with a 3-way diverter or directly on your backwash. That adapter stays available to quickly connect your FireFighter1™ Hose in the event of a fire. Here are a few example installations.  

Example Install #1:

In this install, the elbow above the pump was cut off,  together with the tubing that connected it to the pump. The diverter valve was connected to the remaining tubing from the filter with a length of PVC tubing and couplings that placed the diverter immediately and precisely above the pump connection. Tubing then connected the diverter to the pump. All the parts were cemented only after being sure everything fit.

  











Example Install #2:

This install is similar to Install #1. The hose is permanently connected to the diverter valve via the quick release since the storage box containing the remaining hose is over the wall that surrounds the pool equipment.

Installing FireFighter1™

  • Plan what direction the adapter should face. Optimally facing the direction most intended to protect from fire and in a direction where hose is less likely to be bent.
  • FireFighter1 should be installed on the high pressure side of the pool pump prior to the filter
  • Install to minimize pressure drops. This means designing your install to avoid whenever possible:
  • 90 degree PVC elbows or other high angle bends
  • Read up on how to cement, prepare, and measure tubing length of PVC when installing PVC (see links on this page)
  • Even if you have all the right install parts and have cut the exact lengths of PVC tubing you need, the order in which you put parts together can be very important when cementing tubing. Try to fit the parts in place before cementing as best you can. Think and plan ahead and write it down.
  • Sometimes use of PVC unions can solve very tight space requirements since tubing ends can be butted up against each rather than cemented with slip couplings.
