Sump pump for partial drainage/maint - but what specs to double as water vs wildfire?

[aquaman]

I have put off getting a sump pump for any partial water drainage needs, BUT now am considering the value of a pump (larger pump) to have for water application to the house if practical and not dangerous.

What's practical? Is this too much? 164 GPM?!?

You don't have to run it at full throttle...you can realize less by running at idle or other speed.

External pump setup to fight wildfires from pool

looking for recommendations on how to best utilize my 30k gallon pool to lower the risk from fire damage in an event of a wildfire. Should I be looking at trash pumps? Some type of sprinkler setup? Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

For $83 i'd want This pump for normal operation. The big one will be a PITA to use for regular maintenance. My pump, extention cord, flat discharge hose and cover removal tool all fit in a 5 gallon bucket to walk out there and it's pretty painless each time. I donated a specific bucket to it this year so it's always ready to go.

I’d think that if a fire is close enough to need 164 gpm, you are risking your life by being there even if power was still available to run the pump.

You’d be better off wetting down the roof and the surrounding area ahead of time with a regular hose and then evacuate. Even setting up a sprinkler that could keep the roof wet would be a more reasonable plan if the power was still on for the pump.
