Excellent presentation and breakdown of materials, equipment, prices, and most importantly the actual capabilities of your systems. I too would lean heavily toward a gas powered pump system because not only the possibility of power being cut by the power company or EMC there would be a possibility that water would be cut off and redirected for fire suppression in your area. I've got a rainwater catchment system with some storage right now but no swimming pool. Looking up a couple above ground models now..

It would not hurt too trim back your landscaping. Those tree branches hang over the roof, and would possibly be a fuel source, in a fire. Thanks for reading.

This is what everyone everywhere should have if you have a swimming pool. As to myself incoastal South Carolina I have a well and a generator if I lose power. I also have water taps set up around my property.. I do not have a swimming pool. Around here we worry about hurricanes so I always have water and elect.

Those red plastic nozzles are not rated for much pressure. I've had them come apart with not much use on construction sites. Better to go with a brass nozzle for long-term reliability. Also, I would be concerned about the pump running with all the nozzles closed. Those trash-style pumps are meant to run full open. You might be able to rig a return line back to the pool to allow some water to bypass if all the nozzles are closed.

Wasnt expecting you to eat em! Man ive pulled some 2-3inch long grubs outa some wood.

There are stories of people who died trying to save their house.

The music, the angles, the slow motion. I can’t stop laughing 😂 love my chickens 🐓

Good to run regular water hose from house into pool also while using big pump. The pool will empty slower and act as a buffer tank for the big pumps.

Thank you. Great tips

Nice- you could slap a timer on it and set it to come on while having breakfast and suiting up to use!

Greg thanks for the thoughtful share and support. I wish Danny and others surviving the fire strength, support, inspiration to move forward with reverence, insight and meaning. 🙏🏻

You need to watch videos of big wildfires. That will NOT stop a fast moving wild fire. Enough to wet you house and pray, but that's about it.

Yeah. But.... in most wildfires, they usually cut POWER to the area long before the fire gets there. Sorry. Need to set up a gas powered pump.

Hi there, I was analyzing your KZbin channel. your content is excellent but your videos do not have perfect SEO. Your channel optimization is not perfect. some issues with your channel like not adding SEO-friendly titles, video tags, descriptions too short, not add channel tags, and video end screen. I can help your channel ranking fast. I also help you with website organic growth.

Thank you so much. I also saw your first video. From Santa Clarita, LA county.

Get a pump that runs on propane then you don't have gas going bad .

Super helpful, thank you so much

I read this comment about the Predator 3" and 290 gpm pump. The smaller 2" was sold out. Harbor' Freight's website didn't respond and it made me wonder why. Is there something that he's doing wrong? Will too much volume make it lose pressure? Here's the comment: "It will move a lot of water fast. However, it is much less useful for irrigation, where you need some pressure to run a sprinkler or a fire nozzle. I did run it into a 1.5 diameter fire hose and it did adequate moving water a couple hundred feet, but put a fire nozzle on, and it was just too much. It slowly lost pressure, until no water was coming out. I did take the pump apart and saw no problems. Started it up again with the same results. Left a open hose with no fire nozzle, and it moved water, directly onto the ground. Tried using it with a irrigation sprinkler (farm size) with unsatisfactory results. If I was on a boat, and we were sinking, this is the pump I would want. If there was a fire or I wanted to run a farm rated sprinkler, this would not be the one to get. It is sold as a semi trash pump, but I once thought that meant it could also be used for irrigation and fire suppression. It is sold as a semi trash pump, but I once thought that meant it could also be used for irrigation and fire suppression. Not so much. I have a need for a pump that will handle both of those tasks. This one does not fill the bill."

Plastic pipe will fail in a fire and leave you standing there with nothing. Don't get yourself killed trying to save your home. You should use all metal pipe/fittings and hook up a sprinkler system on the roof. Don't ignore the evacuation order.

You could put fittings and valves to your pool pump if you still have power. Also putting a roof sprinkler up with a ground connection is recommended. There is a film from 1961 and I read a good article in the mid 60s .

Just received my HF Predator. Planning to put together the PVC manifold today. In your previous fire vid, didn't you say that the male NPT (MPT) pvc connects to your female fire hose without any adapter and doesn't leak?

Please share the exact coupling parts you used for this setup. I’m about to purchase the pump, and I’ve already been on a firehose supply website, but I don’t know what couplers and t-connectors to purchase. Thank you so much!

Another question My pump is 3” and I want to step it down. Stupid expensive! are there cost savings tricks to do this?

From someone in Southern California (not LA)- Thank You 👍

I am new to the chicken world, I hope my rooster maintains his chill demeanor. I rescued him this last October. I fully expect an attitude change once I get him a flock of hens. (Silver laced Wyandotte)

Those. Dum people in LA knows california has lots of fires. They should have had the pump and hose ready all the time

Since one week in'drive' on youtube to find thosr can of vidéo... Why people dont buy thermique pump for them swimming pool 🥹🧑‍🚒

Thank you!

Can I assume that - if the electricity goes out ahead of the fire - that you have a means of lowering the hoses? Just a thought.

Thank you for the follow up video.

Thank you. The instructions are very helpful.

god bless you...been looking for a video on the exact same type "setup". A forward style action rather than lifting a lid. This is going to work great for fold down rails on the duck boat.

What if u don’t have a pool

If you tap off a full port valve before your home pressure reducer valve you'll get a 3/4" pipe @ 80-110psi, which is around 20GPM out of a 100' 3/4" garden hose. Which is less still than the pool pump but enough flow and pressure to equip a legit forestry nozzle at the end of the hose and do some serious firefighting. For reference a typical home garden spigot outputs around 5GPM max @ 50PSI or so, and those plastic gardening nozzles will reduce that flow down to maybe 2-3GPM.

Great video. I live in SoCal and just bought the same pump. Could you pls share the parts list starting from the T from the pump and hose diameter, website too. Sorry I’m not that handy but with a parts list I can’t purchase everything and piece it together. Thank you!

Awesome video you guys! I wish everyone was as prepared as you guys are. It makes my job easier if there is a fire. Your design of the rapid response trailer is great. Why not use what you have around. Just an idea though...you could put a better nozzle on the hose since the pump, pumps 20 gpm per minute.

You guys are some of the most fire informed people I have seen. I wish all home owners were this informed. Everyone who is the wildland urban interface (LA, CA included) should watch this. Just a reminder that you dont have to wet down a non-combustible roof such as asphalt shigles. Save the water for the vegetation and the wood part of your home. Great job and thanks for doing your part to help save your properties. After all this is a partnership with us FFs

Great idea! If you set up a system like this, train with it on a regular basis so that when you need it, the set up will go fast. But most important is your safety so be careful!

Please consult new build in Palisade city

Perfect! I bet not one. house in So Cal 2025 fire disaster had ANY setup to project their homes.

Thank you for this video! Is it possible to get a list of the parts needed to assemble this ?

Are you using any camlocks on these hoses ? Is it necessary to buy one? And is the pump gas powered if so do you know any safe storage gas containers you would recommend?

Thank you for your video. For the pvc tee do I need 2" Schedule 40 PVC Tee - Slip (401-020) and two 2 in. PVC Schedule 40 MPT x S Male Adapter for each side?

Heart breaking yet inspiring. Thanks for sharing Greg! ❤

How many do I need... 1 1/2" Adjustable Straight Stream & Fog Nozzle - IPT / NPSH (pipe threads) 1 1/2" Inch Single Jacket Fire Hose - 50 Feet / White / NPSH / IPT (Straight Pipe Threads) Aluminum Female to Male Aluminum Adapter - 1.5" NPSH (F) x 1" NPT (M) Also, can you provide a link to the T's and 2" x 20" suction hose Thank you so much

Great Please update description to links for parts 👍

Very smart. Everyone in fire areas should have this if they have a pool. Even get an insurance discount.

A few squirts of oil would've made drilling those holes way easier
