Floto-Pump™ Portable Fire Pumps

The Waterous Floto-Pump™ portable fire pump was originally developed to meet the rugged forest fire demands of the United States Forest Service, and is now also used for marine service, dewatering, pool maintenance, environmental clean-up and irrigation. Weighing only 42 lbs. (19.1 kg), the pump is easily carried by one person.

Waterous Floto Pump


One High Performance Pump. Two Powerful Models.

Our Floto-Pumps™ are available in two models, the Standard and the High Pressure. The Standard Floto-Pump™ produces maximum pressures of 105 PSI (7 bar) and maximum flows of 140 GPM (530 L/min.). Designed specifically for forest fire applications, the High Pressure Floto-Pump™ throws a stream of water over 85 feet (26 m) at 170 PSI (12 bar) and produces maximum flows of 60 GPM (230 L/min.). Both versions of the Floto-Pump™ are powered by U.S. Motor Power "Power Bee" engine.
