would this pump work on a brush fire, with the water source a swimming pool?

I don't see why not, but mine is were hard to prime. I would look around for one that they would say is easy to prime.

This pump works like a 3" firehose... It would empty the pool in just a few minutes though. I pump water from my pond & it works great... Hope this helps.

it probably would if the fire is not a big one. The swimming pool would be empty fairly quickly. I think a nozzle would be a good idea.

The pump doesn't have the pressure to spray the distances that a fire pump can, but with the right nossle, I have been able to deliver a 25' spray. That said, if IOU use a lay flat hose like the fire. Department does, any kink can stol the flow.

I would say yes but it probably depends on the size of the pool. I use it to fill a lake reft that's about 10ft by 10ft with no problem.

I use mine to pump water to a water slide going into the pool. Based on what I've seen, I doubt it has enough flow to vacuum the pool.

I would say yes, but be aware of the operating amps of the pump. Other than that it should work.

It would work if you have the right tip for the ball, but it would take forever. It does not pump much air per stroke.

Since this pump does not use electricity it should work. You would need to manually turn on the water faucet you've hooked it up to for it to suction water.

assuming it's not moving water through it the entire time it will burn up, eventually. There are models out there with a floater switch that will shut the pump down when the water level gets too low. Sounds like that would be better for you.

I would not recommend using as a home sump pump. It isn't fast enough for the task, and has lift limitations. I use mine to remove water from a 33 foot round pool cover, does the job but gets clogged easily making cleaning of it often.

Probably not, it sends a low voltage low current output that would definitely not turn a pump on directly. You might be able to have it turn on a low voltage relay that would then turn on the pump.

Yes it should. And it works well for my pool. At first i thought it went to deep under water to work. But i found out that it floats in the bucket to suck everything it. Helped keep my pool ckeaner longer with less chemicals. I add a chlorine tablet to the basket to help distribute the chlorine.

It should work. I've only had the pump for a couple of months my use is only occasional, like after a big rain, to pump the water out of my boat. It works great for that, just submerse it in the water and plug it in. But I'm only using a 4-5' length of hose because that's all I need. I'm not sure how long the pump would work because I would think that emptying a pool would be a lot of work for the pump, but it seems like a good quality pump in my experience so far. My guess is that you'd be using a 10-15' length of hose so that would probably cause the pump to work a little harder but I think you'd be okay. It should work.

Hello- this pump should work fine as long as your pipe runs and elevation changes are minimal , please be sure it is completely submerged.

yes, it works well with the sand pump that my pool has. The pump needs to pump at least 1500 gph(gallons per hour).

It depends on how much current the pump draws. If it's less then 5.8 amps, it should be good.

This a one powerful pump. It pumps my pool cover after heavy rains very quickly. The hose is 25 feet long and approximately 2 1/2 to 3 feet above the pump. While I can't really say with certainty that it will do what you need it to do, based upon the job it does for me, I feel confident that it will perform beyond your expectations. Good Luck! :-)

Unlikely -- the pump will not generate enough pressure to propel water from sprinklers. -- bigappleedibles.com

I do not think it would work well on an inflatable pool. The brush tines are pretty sharp, and I would be afraid it might make a hole in your inflatable pool. I would not recommend it.
