Product Overview
Rural landholders, orchardists, and volunteer bushfire fighters deploy the Aussie Fire Chief (QP205SE/GX160) for emergency homestead defense, perimeter protection, and high elevation water movement. Renowned across regional Australia, the big belly casing draws liquid rapidly from dams, swimming pools, and rainwater tanks. Corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy construction withstands intense heat and harsh outdoor weathering.
Emergency water delivery achieves a maximum delivery rate of 450 L/min and develops a maximum elevation head of 75 m. Internal hydraulic architecture features a marine grade aluminium casing with big belly priming geometry, a single piece closed aluminium impeller, and a carbon ceramic mechanical seal with nitrile elastomers. Total equipment mass is 26 kg in standard operating trim.
Mechanical drive is provided by a Honda GX160 5.5HP recoil start petrol engine producing 5.5 HP. Plumbing connections incorporate 2" BSP male inlet & 3-way outlet (2 x 1", 1 x 1.5") with metal caps & chains, and the self-priming wet end achieves 7.6 m vertical suction lift. Rapid self-priming internal dynamics pick up fluid swiftly without requiring manual foot valves on suction lines.
Lightweight anti-vibration skids with integrated carry handle enclose the equipment while isolating mechanical vibration and simplifying site movement. The structural mount provides balance during transport across field vehicles, trailers, and utility trays. Complete spare parts support and factory technical documentation are accessible through Aussie Pumps distribution networks across Australia.
