Man I know some of you guys are in the pump biz, but def not in the fire boat pump biz. You would have heart palpitations if you knew we pulled sea water and never flush with fresh afterwards. They pass capacity test every year. Even fire engines pull from salt water when required but those are easier to flush afterwards.

one post mentioned heat. That’s one thing we’re trained to not let happen to our pumps. Always need to be moving water. Recirculate valves always cracked if pumps engaged and hose lines are not in operation.

the other thing taught, DRILLED into everyone's head, is to DRAIN the pumps after use, at least in Winter.

While kinda obvious, I had a killer deal offered to me, 50's firetruck that PO hadn't drained the pump, Ice destroyed it.....

I have a few service calls each year for that.

We're fixing to have a real cold snap starting Friday. Come Monday, ill probably have the shop full of equipment thawing out because someone forgot to drain them

hmm, wonder if anyone thought about making an 'auto drain valve' , like some air compressors have ?
It might be less complicated to design/build/install than adding a plaque on the pumper saying 'DRAIN THE FRIGGIN PUMP AFTER USE' ?

People used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & Sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor".


But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low.
