Tap Water Sources in Remote Locations
TurboDraft™ Fire Eductor allows companies to tap into remote water supplies like ponds, lakes, streams, and swimming pools up to 250’ away and generate usable fire flows to 670 GPM or more using standard 5” LDH and 2½” fire hose. TurboDraft CS (Changeable Strainer) Fire Eductor provides departments the option to connect to a wide selection of standard 6” NH strainers to meet any water supply situation. The unit will also improve the effectiveness of dry hydrants and vertical suction standpipes.
TurboDraft Operation
Useable fire flow will vary based on elevation and hose friction loss. (See Distant Water Source Situation table)
