Fedco Indian 5 Gallon Poly Fire Pump Model FER501

Solidly built, good performance when tested.

I like the quality and design built into the backpack pump making it comfortable to wear and easy to use. The spray wand is very high quality. I intend to use it, when needed, for spot fire control on our property during fire season. I live within city limits but there is a lot of open ground with no grass, shrub control that can easily catch fire, especially during hot, dry summers. We always had an Indian Fire Pump on the combine during grain harvest on our farm when growing up. It was always handy to used on spot fires starting from an overheated bearing and stopped wide spread fires.

LIGHT WEIGHT LOOKS JUST LIKE PICTURED HAVENT USED IT YET

This is the best thing to control fires in a pasture. Very rugged and effective. Highly recommend.

Filled it with water and its on the back seat of my truck and after a month its leaked out all on my floor, CHINESE CRAP DO NOT BUY!!!!!!

Update - the factory quickly responded and is replacing the defective part. Could not ask for more. I am upgrading back to five stars for the great and quick fix Nice pump but a defective mounting for the metal plate which acts as a clamp to hold the spray nozzle. Within minutes of opening the box, as i attached the backpack straps, the two top metal rivets that secure the metal clamp plate to the plastic body just popped off. This is a poor design or a poor manufacturing defect. An item that is used for emergency fire fighting should not have metal mounting rivets pop off when very slight pressure is applied to the mounting plate. I have previously purchased five Fedco pumps, and this is the first time I have seen this type of defect. Rather than shipping a big heavy item back to the manufacturer i will just drill out the rivet holes and buy some small bolts to plate. Still the manufacturer needs to improve this defect.

A classic, heavy duty.

This is an excellent product—this is my 3rd purchase. I was disappointed that my fire pump arrived without all the parts. It was missing the clip which secures the hand pump to the tank assembly. This is typically preinstalled but simply was not present. I would appreciate it if the vendor could send me the part so I can fix it or a tank with the clip installed. Otherwise, this product will be difficult to transport and manage and I will be unhappy. The brass hand pump (the expensive part) is working fine.

Works good
