If you are looking for the cheapest way to get a home wildfire protection system, consider getting a fire hose and reel kit that is powered by your existing swimming pool motor. You can do all this and be defending your property for well under $1,000. Most people aren't aware that their existing swimming pool motor is plenty powerful enough to shoot pool water through a 100 foot fire hose that is 15-20 times more powerful than a standard garden hose.
These patented permanent pool fire hose and reel kits come with everything you need to install it on the side of your house right near your pool equipment pad in less than an hour. The DIY kits come with everything needed for easy installation. The kit includes 100 feet of fire hose, red forestry nozzle, hose reel system, 3-way valve, all fittings, glue, protective cover, and detailed instructions.
Many homeowners who have purchased this kit simply give it all to their pool guy to install for them.
Once it's installed, the homeowner is ready to defend their property from a wildfire using their swimming pool water with a simple flip of the handle of the 3-way diverter valve that's installed between the pool pump and filter.
The performance is pretty impressive. It has a shoot distance of about 45 feet using 100 feet of fire hose (with no kinks in it) with a brand new 3HP Pentair Intelliflo Pool Pump. This has proven to be adequate for most homeowners trying to protect their single story structures and surrounding property from a wildfire. Adding additional 100 foot lengths of fire hose drops the shoot distance about 10-15% which is still adequate for most homeowners who require longer lengths to protect a bigger area.
If you are shopping for a pool fire hose kit, make sure you get one that has the hose reel system. This is the most important feature because the hose reel has a swivel that let's you easily pull the fire hose in the direction that you need it to go. The hose reel is also convenient when you need to roll it back up. It comes with a protective cover that keeps your pool fire hose protected from the sun and the rain. We recommend staying away from the kits that come in a plastic storage box which is just a recipe for a mildewy hose.
