Rural fire companies need creative solutions to utilize water sources that are not accessible using typical drafting techniques. The TurboDraft Fire Eductor allows fire companies to tap into water supplies like ponds, streams, and swimming pools up to 250' away and can generate flows up to 670 GPM.
TurboDraft Setup
TurboDraft setup is quick and simple. TurboDraft is placed in a convenient water source remote from the fire truck with a 2.5" discharge and a 5" or 6" supply hose connected to the unit.
TurboDraft Setup
Once the TurboDraft Fire Eductor has been set up it can be quickly placed into service. The steamer suction valve is left closed and its air bleeder is opened. The 2.5" line is charged to approximately 175 psig. The force of the flow combined with TurboDraft eductor technology creates a suction which draws water from the standing water supply. As this happens, the return line is charged back to the fire truck. Once the air is bled from the supply line the bleeder is closed and the steamer valve is opened. At this point the water supply has been established. 200 GPM is re-circulated through the truck to maintain a continuous flow and 670 GPM is available to supply tanker trucks or fill portable tanks. Useable fire flow will vary based on elevation and hose friction loss. Click to see Distant Water Source Situation Chart.
