DuroMax XP702HP 208cc 7-HP 2-Inch 70-GPM Gas Powered High Pressure Water Pump, 50 State Approved, XP702HP, Blue

Should work if that dreaded fire comes. I'm in a semi-rural area, a lot of acreage around me. Had to buy 3 other add-ons (suction hose, fire hose and spray nozzle) but I'm ready to try and save my house. Hoses fit right on with no additional fittings. Three outlet ports, two =2", one =2.5". Gave it a try this morning, works great. The 100-foot fire hose though is a challenge to get laid out and the kinks out! I have a 27K gallon pool, so no problem with a water source.

For an irrigation system with 8 sprinkler heads I needed both high pressure and a high flow rate. This pump delivers. It generates a flow rate of 40 gallons per minute with a pump discharge pressure of 60 psi, which was exactly what I needed. The flow rate would be even greater if the discharge pressure was lower (i.e. discharging to atmosphere). Great value compared to an electric pump.

I'm pumping water from a lake uphill to a splitter the goes to 3 garden hoses and sprinklers. Puts out excellent pressure by the time it gets to the sprinklers. Very easy to start...1-2 pulls each time, one-handed. It does require more effort than I expected to get it primed and pumping. Only used it 6-7 times but very happy so far.

Ordered a couple of these since I live in a brush fire area.Just received the first pump few hours ago. I put oil in the engine with the included angled funnel and filled up the gas tank with 91 octane. After priming the pump with some water I yanked the starter cord.To my surprise the engine started on the first pull! The pressure and amount of water these things put out is impressive, you better hold on to the hose firmly. The build quality seems solid.

I didn't even want to like this thing. For the price I figured it was going to be a pile of junk, and not put out enough water for what I needed... Well I was wrong. This thing with a 1.5 in hose and a decent combination fire nozzle cranks. Was never able to figure out of the 70gmp rating was at rated pressure or at open flow, but since it gets after it with a nozzle rated at 75 gpm I'm going to say that its at pressure, only seems to get the slightest pressure drop at full fog pattern, on straight stream you better hold on. The one thing you have to be careful with this pump is that it is not a self priming pump and for good performance you need to make sure you have tight suction hoses. Still have yet to see how it holds up long term, but so far no complaints, just make sure you are holding on to the nozzle when you throttle it up!
