Installing FireFighter1™

FireFighter1™is easiest to add to an open backwash port if available on your pool pump. Otherwise, FireFighter1™ is simple to install if you are familiar with PVC plumbing. Usually takes about 30 minutes. 

Installation_Step_1_Pick_Location_at_high_pressure_sie_of_the_pool_pump_before_the_filter_and_install

Step One

Choose Placement

Choose the most optimal place for hose connection between the high pressure side of the main pool pump and the pool filter. Make sure your FireFighter1™ Hose Adapter will be easy to access and facing the areas you want to protect most.

Step Two

Cut PVC Piping

Remove section of PVC to add 3-Way Diverter. Don't remove too much.

Step Three

Add Our Adapter

Glue in 3-Way Diverter & Our Adapter on Open Port Created. Make Sure Adapter is Facing What You Want to Protect Most.

Step Four

Connect Your FireFighter1 ™

During a fire emergency, connect your FireFighter1™ Hose to the adapter added to your pool pump. Then redirect flow of water to the FireFighter1™ Hose instead of going back to your filter, and turn on your pump.

Step Five

Quick Water Access

You now have quick water access & are ready to help protect your property if there is a fire emergency. Be able to extract & spray valuable water 40+ feet, at 100+ GPM & 80+ PSI off a 2.7 HP variable speed pool pump as pictured!

 Pool Pump Before       

Installation Tips for Preparation

  • 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.
If you have doubts or no experience, ask your pool servicer or local pool company to install or email support@fightfireon.site, and we will provide a local installer.  

Installation Instructions:

1.   Find ideal location between pool pump and filter to install a 3-way

diverter. **Setup so hose will face most desired location to protect.                  

2.  Cut into the PVC pipe and remove the portion allowing space. Don't over cut.

3.  Prepare diverter to install at pool pump output and re-connect to PVC pipe where cut. May need a slip joint valve or tubing to reconnect.

4.  Cement in 3-Way Diverter to PVC pipe, then connect to pool pump output. *Make sure everything aligns before cementing.

5.  Install the polypropylene quick connect on the 3-way diverter.                           

6. Add FireFighter1™ Logo to 3-Way Valve, Directing “On” position.

7. Leave ready to connect FireFighter1™ whenever a fire emergency may arise. 

FireFighter1 is typically simple to install if you are familiar with PVC plumbing & usually takes 15-30 minutes. 

Example:

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.

The 3-way diverter valve is installed on the high pressure side of the pool pump between the pump and filter. You need to choose the easiest place between the pump and filter to install it. If the tubing connecting the two is short and straight, it may have insufficient flexibility to use simple couplings during the diverter install.  If your plumbing code allows, you could use unions and/or slip joints (see videos later on this page).

The procedure to install the diverter is as follows:

  1. Cut The PVC Pipe Between The Pump And Filter
  2. Insert The 3-Way Diverter Valve In The Cut-Away And Cement If The Pipe Has Enough Flexibility Or Use Unions (Or Slip Coupling If Code Allows). See Videos Below.
  3. Install The Quick Connect Or The Screw Type Connector On The 3-Way Diverter Valve Ready To Have The Hose Attached
  4. That's It!
