Water Master MH215-SHP GX200 High Flow 1.5" Firefighting Pump

Water Master GX200 High Flow: The One You Want When It Counts

When there is smoke on the ridge and the wind is heading your way, the last thing you want is a pump that dribbles. The Water Master 1.5" GX200 Fire pump shifts 570 litres a minute and pushes it 74.5 metres up, which is the difference between wetting down the shed roof and just watching. It is the high flow model in the Water Master range, built around a Honda GX200 that will start after sitting in the shed all winter. Cast aluminium pump housing, single self-priming impeller, and a roll frame you can throw on the ute tray without thinking about it. Two 1" outlets and a 1.5" outlet mean you can run a couple of hoses at once, or one big one.

Water Master MH215-SHP GX200 Honda Pump: What You Get

• You get water where you need it, fast — 570 litres a minute at up to 74.5 metres of head means you can reach a roofline or the far side of a paddock, so a fire break gets wet before the front arrives rather than after.
• It starts when it has been sitting idle — the Honda GX200 is the engine every contractor in the country already trusts, so the pump that has not run since last summer still fires on the second or third pull.
• You can run more than one line — two 1" outlets plus a 1.5" outlet let two people work different sides of a building at once, or feed a single high volume line when you want reach.
• Priming is not a job — the single impeller design is self-priming, so you drop the suction hose in the tank or dam and go, instead of fiddling about trying to get water up the line.
• It survives the back of the ute — cast aluminium pump housing inside a full roll frame, at 27 kg, so it takes the knocks of being carted around a property without bending something that matters.

Water Master MH215-SHP GX200 Fire Fighting Pump FAQs

Should I get the GX200 or the GX160?
Flow rate is the difference. The GX200 gives you 570 L/min against the GX160's 390 L/min, with the same 74.5 metres of head. If you are protecting a house and sheds, want to run two hoses at once, or need volume for wash down work as well, the GX200 earns the extra. For a smaller block or a single hose, the GX160 does the job for less.

What hoses do I need, and are they included?
Hoses are not included. You need a suction hose with a strainer for the water source and a delivery hose with a nozzle for the business end. Our Water Master 1.5" Fire Hose Kit is made for these pumps and includes both.

Is there anything to assemble or set up?
Nothing to build. Add oil and fuel per the engine manual before the first start — new pumps ship dry. Connect the suction hose to the 1.5" inlet with the strainer fully submerged, connect your delivery hose, then start it. Never run it dry, since that is what kills the seal.

What safety points should I know?
Petrol engines produce carbon monoxide, so only ever run it outdoors and well away from windows and doors. Let it cool before refuelling. Keep the roll frame clear of dry grass while it is running and hot. If you are relying on it for bushfire defence, start it and run it for a few minutes every couple of months so you know it works before the day you need it.
