If you follow our work then you know that we harp on "keeping it simple" and "keeping it ready for use"...whatever "it" is. A few years ago while doing some water supply study work in Hartford, Vermont we came across a pumper set-up to quickly deploy suction hose for dump tank operations. Nothing fancy by any means...just some planning and simple design work to speed up the deployment of suction hose into a dump tank. Besides the pre-connected suction strainer feature, we like the support bracket design that prevents the coupling from being stressed by the weight of the strainer. Kudos to the Hartford FD.
