Mobile DRAFTS UNIT Proposal 
 
El Mirage Fire Department    
 
 
Quote #: 22-1116EMFDMDU-01 
 
Dear Chief Michael Long,  
Thank you for your interest in our PumpPodUSA DRAFTS UNITS.  We are pleased to present the following information 
per your request for a Mobile DRAFTS Unit (exceeds 2,100 USG).  The PumpPodUSA - Direct Recirculating Apparatus 
Firefighting Training & Sustainability (DRAFTS) Unit apparatus is specifically designed to be the ultimate training tool to 
develop, maintain and test your Engineers and Firefighters.   This Unit will enhance the safety, training, and practice for 
candidates specifically while providing needed additional training opportunities to ensure that your department has the 
most prepared and qualified workforce today. 
The DRAFTS Unit will provide and allow your department to train with Full Flow Water your Firefighters and Engineers.  
When deployed to the Battalions the Engine Companies can train WITHOUT having to call “Out of Service” thus 
significantly increasing the hours of training but reducing time and costs related to these exercises.  Another benefit to 
the DRAFTS units is that they are self-contained and re-circulate the water required for a wide variety of training 
evolutions as well as a host of NFPA testing requirements and water conservation mandated compliance.  Each DRAFTS 
Unit will allow approximately (2,100 USG) amount of water to be pump continually, literally saving millions of gallons 
each year using the DRAFTS Units innovative design and construction.  
   
 
 General Construction Notes: 
• 
This apparatus trailer is constructed using Heavy Duty Steel and is reinforced in a variety of ways in 
order to provide long term reliability and durable of service even with the pounding of master streams. 
• 
A custom bulkhead is constructed and welded into the container. This bulkhead is placed back from the 
access doors.  The design also allows a safe flat deck to safely access to the nozzle mounting system. This 
system is customizable to suit your Training & Testing needs. variety of straight nozzle styles as well as 
custom additions. 
• 
The DRAFTS UNIT is fitted with Drafting and Pressure Pipes, NH Fittings of various sizes ranging from:     
1 1/2” - 6” and is available in several configurations based on your department needs.  
• 
The deflector shield is mounted to a frame at an angle to divert the incoming stream downward into the 
reservoir. The optional hanging targets on the deflector shield are to help train nozzle operators. 
• 
All Apparatus will be coated internally with Rhino protective coatings for containment and durability.  
• 
Photographs and illustrations are included on the following pages to help illustrate the design items 
mentioned herein. 
• 
10 Year Limited Warranty

Sole Source Description for the DRAFTS Unit 
 
The Mobile and 20’ Static DRAFTS Unit product is manufactured and direct marketed by only PumpPodUSA 
(no distributors) located in Simi Valley, California. It is a Water Capture and Recirculator designed specifically 
for the Fire Service to capture and re-use the millions of gallons of water used during Training and Pump & 
Nozzle Testing.   
 
The DRAFTS Unit is completely unique in seven features and NO other product has these components and 
features listed below.  I will list them individually and then provide a description of each of them. 
 
 “Open System” Design - Aerates and breaks up the water stream preventing cavitation & heat build-up  
 Multiple Master Streams flowing into the DRAFTS Unit simultaneously  
 Roof Target – Allows high volume Ladder Pipe & Aerial Nozzle Flow Training and Testing 
 6” Electro-mechanical Water Meter to measure total water saved 
 Custom “Working Potable Hydrant – Wet Barrel  
 (6) Hoses and or Nozzles Pipes welded to the Bulkhead   
 Real & Functional (3 Port FDC) Fire Department Connection with Standpipe & Valve 
 
Open System & Diverter Screen Design –  The DRAFTS Unit multi-purpose platform and can be used for both 
Flow Training and Pump & Nozzle Testing this is an especially important design feature.   The diverter screen is 
constructed using galvanized steel to it protect from rust.  The most significant benefit of the Open System is it   
accommodates “Dynamic Flows” from ALL type nozzles and master streams.  Including deck & ground 
monitors and Aerial flows via the roof target hand lines even simultaneously.  Every DRAFTS Unit is 
constructed of heavy gauge steel and the interior walls, doors and cistern are coated with ballistic grade 
Rhino© Liner.  So, it can withstand the extreme PSI and GPM flows from the Deck Gun and Ground Monitor 
master streams.  The Rhino© Liner also serves to protect the steel from rusting and extends the service life.  
We have been told by a dozen water agencies they prefer this platform design as it captures the most amount 
of water flowed during all type training evolutions.    Our experience with hydraulics and friction informs us of 
the unique challenges in maintaining a safe water temperature. This challenge has been to overcome by 
utilizing our signature “Open System”. This requires for all water flows to impact our “diffuser screen or roof 
target” that break up the water streams and passively forces the heat to separate from the water maintaining 
continuous safe water temperatures even for extended training evolutions or pump testing without the 
requirement of purging and replenishing the tank. 
 
 
Roof Target –  Completely unique to the DRAFTS unit is our 5’ x 5’ roof target. This allows for full flows from 
aerial master streams from virtually every elevation and angle while firefighters and engineers test and train 
their apparatus to the fullest flows.  Our unit is constructed of reinforced heavy gauge steel. The roof is also 
coated with ballistic grade Rhino© Liner to assist it withstand the extreme PSI and GPM flows from the Aerial 
Ladder Pipe & Nozzle master streams and protect against rust.

6” Electro-mechanical Water Meter - Required by Water Agencies to track water savings & prevented Dry 
Weather Run-off.   Installed on horizontal Blue Suction Pipe.  
 
Custom Potable Hydrant – Wet Barrel - The portable hydrant (DB) is exclusive to the PumpPodUSA.  Allows 
Engineers to perform “Spotting the Hydrant” and Race for Water” drills.  This real hydrant supports Engine & Truck 
Companies and Task Force training exactly the same way they would none a hydrant in the community.     We fabricate 
the hydrants to reflect your area of operations – specifically, your hydrant will have a 6” inlet and your choice of a 
double or triple head configuration – 4”, 4’5”, 5” & 2.5”.  
 
Secure (6) Hoses and or Nozzles to Bulkhead simultaneously – This allows for (6) 2 ½” hoses connected with 
various nozzles of your choice simultaneously for Training or nozzle testing with optional Nozzle testing 
accessory. 
 
Real & Functional (FDC) Fire Department Connection with Standpipe & Valve - Exclusive and plumbed into 
every DRAFTS Unit is an FDC with built in 150’ resistance duplicating a third story standpipe hydrant being opened.  Also, 
included for safety is a 200 PSI Pressure Relief Valve.

Subject: NEW ACTIVITY #22401 WIFA/WCGF FIRE DRAFT GRANT - ALN 21.027
 
Hello:
 
The following activity number was added today to track financial activity related to the WIFA/WCGF
Fire Draft Grant.  Applicable revenue and expenditures should post to Fund 149 using this activity
number.  Please reach out if there are questions.
 
Macy, is this captured already in our CIP? Will it have a CIP activity number as well? It looks like it
should. If this is an unplanned capital asset, I can add a CIP activity number for FY24. Please advise.
 
Martina, in case I missed someone who needs to know this who isn’t listed above, please forward it
to them. Thanks.

Thank you!
