FireFighter1, featuring on Shark Tank, can be used in four easy steps

The Fire Fighter1 is a fire hose that can easily be connected to a swimming pool pump to put away the fire quickly. The hose is made of nylon and can be used by anyone. As per their official website fightfirefirst.com, the hose can be used in the following way:

1. Connect the FireFighter1 hose adapter to the output of the 3-way diverter valve installed on the pool pump.
2. Ensure the pool pump is off, then turn the 3-way diverter to “On” position, engaging FireFighter1.
3. Make sure the pump is ready to turn on when pressing “Start.” Depending on the type of pump, the owners may need to turn on the switch or time clock in the box where the pump timer is programmed.
4. Grab the hose nozzle and twist it to open fully. Turn the pool pump on at maximum speed. Extend the fire hose completely, aim and spray.

While using FireFighter1, the user has to ensure that the float valve is under the skimmer basket and/or the skimmer line is plugged with included “U” shape plug so that once the water level drops, the water flow will direct from the skimmer to the bottom of the pool.

If available, users can even establish a backup power source that could be available for the pool pump and other important resources if the power goes out.

The fire hose comes in two sizes, 50 feet and 100 feet. A 50-foot hose covers approximately 1/4 acre of properties, while a 100-foot hose covers approximately 1/2 acre.

FireFighter1 makes 25,000 gallons of water useful immediately from the swimming pool. The business has also been certified by WBENC. The product also participated in the Napa Home & Garden Event Show in April 2022.

FireFighter1 also comes with a separate 3-way diverter and installation kit with a fire hose, each costing $95. The price of a 50’ FireFightger1 Hose is $399, a 100’ FireFightger1 Hose costs $529, and a 50’ FireFighter1 Extension is for $349.

FireFighter1 is only available for purchase on its official website.
