Hi Aussie, is the the fire chief suitable as a bore pump? I'm bringing water up from about 8m and then have an additional 50-60m head to pump. I was looking for a flow rate chart on your site but couldn't find one. Thanks!
The google reviews scared me off from buying this pump. There’s a hell of a lot of other reliable pumps out there, and after reading the google reviews on the company I took my money elsewhere.

I wouldn't go into a motorcycle shop and ask for the cheapest helmet. Only a dead man would use a 1.5" pump 5hp GX160 Honda to confront a bushfire. Not even your top 13hp. I had to go to CET in Canada to get a capable fire pump 38hp Vanguard 680L/minute at 150psi 1200L/minute at 100psi with 100mm suction, better bronze impeller with replaceable wear rings. Because I need to sleep at night and ridiculously I can't buy something capable of protecting my family in bushfire prone Australia. To those that are interested the CET 38hp high volume high pressure was $7000USD, what's your family worth?
Hi Dean, We just got brought up to date on the very instructive comments you’ve made on the traditional Australian designed and built concept of lightweight portable Fire Pumps. Any points that you’ve made don’t offer any constructive advice to home owners seeking to protect their own properties. I have to tell you that what you are saying is negative in the nth degree and insinuates that our Aussie Fire Chief, the best lightweight portable fire pump in the world, is not competent in a fire. When the last major fires came through Arcadia around 12-15 years ago, I worked with the RFS team and protected my son’s log cabin from the fire using an Aussie Fire Chief. Admittedly, we used a 1.5”inch hose with a high quality nozzle and had the benefit of a large dam to draw from. Compared to the pumps that the RFS was using, our Fire Chief did a mighty job, extinguishing spots so that even in the heat of the fire they went out and stayed out. The RFS were suitably impressed and subsequently purchased 500-600 of these pumps. In fact during the Black Summer down the South Coast where I was on vacation I wound up working with the Firies and home owners in the back blocks behind Milton. I saw even a cheap Chinese low cost fire pump with a leaking seal save an old wooden farm house from the fire. No, it didn’t put out the fire, it enabled us to wet down the roof, fill up the gutters and make sure the ground around the house was clear. I think you misunderstand what the Australian concept of a lightweight portable Fire Pump actually is. It’s not supposed to do the job of a $30,000, 30-40hp diesel engine drive pump! It’s horses for courses Dean. You may be interested to know we recently made a major shipment of Fire Chief pumps off to the United States to help them in their fire season. It’s a big seller in the States. Our Fire Chief is also being widely used in the South of France where they currently have fires raging now. Appreciate your comments. Don’t confuse the poor folks who just need to protect their homes or properties.
