FOam Equipment
The Otter™ pump is the world's first ultra-lightweight fully composite submersible pump used for remote water sourcing and flood control operations. The Power Unit can be mounted on a standard pick up truck with a 6.5’ bed and a 3200lb payload. Using the latest advancements in composite body technology, the Otter™ (Patent pending) weighs in at only 85 lbs (38.5 kg), while still being able to produce flows up to 2000 GPM (7570 LPM). Being physically manageable by one or two firefighting personnel is a unique deployment advantage, greatly simplifying loading and general use.
Due to its unique lightweight design, the main power unit can remain at an easily accessible location (i.e. street level) while the pump is carried/lowered to the remote water source (subway tunnels, flood channels, etc.) up to 100 feet away (depending on the hydraulic umbilical length). The discharge connection on the Otter™ uses a standard 5” Storz adapter, which can be further adapted to multiple lines to reduce pressure loss for the pump.
