Pump Connect Home & Cottage Fire Protection Kit

The Home & Cottage Kit, Built to Run Off Your Pump

Not every property has a pressurized tap to spare, and honestly, the best water source at most cabins is the one you are parked beside. The Pump Connect Home & Cottage Fire Protection Kit takes our proven home and cottage sprinkler system and configures it to draw from a portable pump instead of your household plumbing, so a lake, creek, pool, or storage tank becomes your fire defence supply.

Deploy the sprinklers on your roof and around the perimeter, connect the hose network to your pump with the included forestry-style fittings, fire it up, and the system soaks everything an ember could land on. It creates a moisture-rich barrier that wets your structures, dampens fine fuels, and cools the surrounding air, reducing ignition risk while you evacuate safely.

✅ Made for Lakefront Cabins and Off-Grid Properties

If your place runs on a well, a cistern, or no plumbing at all, tap-fed sprinkler kits are a non-starter. This kit is purpose-built for that reality. Pair it with a portable fire pump and an unlimited water source like a lake, and your cabin has structure protection that does not depend on municipal water pressure, or on anyone being home.

💡 Why Pump-Fed Protection Matters

Most homes lost to wildfire ignite from ember cast, embers carried kilometers ahead of the flames that land on dry roofs, in gutters, and in the fuels around a structure. A running sprinkler system denies embers a foothold, and a pump-fed system keeps running even when power fails and household water pressure disappears, which is exactly what happens in an evacuation zone. Set up and test the system before fire season, deploy when an alert is issued, start the pump, and leave when ordered. Like all fire protection equipment, this kit is a preventative measure, not a guarantee, and never a reason to stay behind.

🔧 Which Kit Do I Need?

On municipal water or a strong pressurized tap? Our standard Home & Cottage Fire Protection Kit runs straight off garden hose taps with no pump required. Protecting a larger property, multiple buildings, or an acreage? Step up to the Forestry & Wildland Fire Protection Sprinkler Kit with ten sprinklers and over 34,000 square feet of coverage.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy a pump separately?

Yes. This kit is designed to connect to an existing portable pump. Most portable fire pumps and high-output transfer pumps are suitable. Contact us to confirm compatibility before ordering.

Can I draw water directly from a lake or creek?

Yes, that is exactly what this kit is designed for. Your pump draws from the water source and supplies the sprinkler and hose network through the included fittings.

How is this different from the standard Home & Cottage kit?

The standard kit connects to pressurized garden hose taps. This version includes pump-connection fittings so the same style of protection runs from a portable pump and any raw water source, ideal for cottages and off-grid properties.

Should I stay to operate it during a wildfire?

No. Deploy the system when an evacuation alert is issued, start your pump, confirm everything is running, and leave when ordered. It is designed to work without you there.
