At Waterous we take great pride in helping our fellow firefighters

stay safe. We understand the risks of the job, which is why we work

just as hard to make sure your equipment is working for you. Not only

do we back our equipment with an exclusive, industry-leading

warranty, but we also provide our customers with unmatched sales

and support. Our highly trained service technicians are on hand to

answer any technical questions, while our knowledgeable sales staff

will help you specify the right pump for the job.

Since 1958, the Waterous Mobile Demonstration Unit has traveled across the

United States and Canada teaching firefighters how to maintain one of the most

critical components of the fire truck—the pump. Demonstrations

cover CAFSystems, pump maintenance and operation instruction

capabilities. Although we deal specifically with Waterous products

and accessories, much of the material is applicable to other

products, regardless of manufacturer.

Waterous is the industry leader in fire pump awareness and maintenance

education. Long before the industry stressed the need for educational equipment

training, Waterous developed a seminar to teach proper fire pump maintenance.

These seminars are one week long and stress "hands on" training by Waterous

expert service staff. Best of all, these seminars are FREE!

Whether you have questions about your pump or need help out in the field, our Waterous

service technicians are just a phone call away. If that means talking you through routine

maintenance over the phone or traveling to your station to look over your apparatus, we'll

be there. Our highly-trained sales and service staff know that it's not just about looking

after your equipment--its about looking after your fellow firefighters.

Fire departments and brigades demand longer life expectancy from their fire

suppression equipment. And in keeping with its tradition of meaningful innovation

and commitment to our customers, Waterous made the move from a standard

two-year to the five-year warranty. Innovation doesn't just translate to our

products, it also translates into better service for our customers.
