Underground Reservoir Dry Hydrant

 

Underground Resevoir Dry Hydrants offer many benefits to anyone looking to improve their fire fighting capabilities in more remote locations. These unique resevoirs offer a reliable water source in any weather and they are hidden underground which is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

• one or more resevoirs can be installed to meet your needs, always located below the frost line,
• water that is free of algae or vegetation is held in the resevoir, unlike surface water dry hydrant systems that can be clogged by pond debris,
• installation and location of the resevoir is easy and flexible. Many systems are located conveniently close to the building.

The resevoir is located below the frost line and the connector for the fire hose is easily accessible. Even if space is a factor, the resevoir can be placed almost anywhere. The air and water pipes and the man hole can be made more discreet by shrubs and plants.

 

The resevoirs are available in 1000 to 10000 gallon tanks, and can easily be connected in paralell in order to obtain the necessary volume of water prescribed by your insurance broker or fire chief.

Here are some photos of a double resevoir installation below the frost line.
