Swiftwater SMS
A supply management system: 25,000 litres of deployable water storage in a secure, lockable container. Link units together to scale without limit.
Stays secure until you need it
The tank lives inside a lockable container. Pumps, fittings and hose are stored with it, so everything's on site and protected from tampering until the call comes.
- Fill from a hydrant, tender or any available water source
- 4" NPTF primary suction and fill valves — fit with any firefighting, industrial or agricultural fittings
- Link units in series through the 3" camlock valves for as much storage as the job needs
- Separate lockable access to the fittings area and the tank itself
Built to plug into the equipment you already run
Compatible with fire department, municipal and agricultural equipment. No special adapters or handling gear required.
Fire-service connections
4" NPTF primary suction and fill valves take whatever fittings your equipment uses — fire department thread, camlock and more — all behind lockable doors and clearly labeled.
Link in series
Two lower 3" valves with camlocks come standard. Connect units in series to balance levels across tanks, then fill and draw from a single point that reaches the whole series.
Air-gap fill
Supply water discharges above the waterline, so filling from a hydrant never puts the municipal system at risk of cross-contamination.
Pump-friendly suction
Screened suction lines reduce vortexing and keep debris out, helping protect your pumps from cavitation.
Level at a glance
A sight glass with a high-visibility float shows how much water you have without opening the tank.
Moves like a container
Standard shipping-container format, so it's transported and placed with the same trucks and lifting equipment as any other container.
Secured tank access
A lockable, reinforced roof hatch allows inspection while keeping unauthorized people out of the confined tank space.
Sealed and drainable
A corrosion-resistant lined interior keeps the tank watertight, and a floor drain empties it completely for maintenance.
Minimal site prep
The container's load-bearing frame sits on four corner points. Simple wood blocking supports it and levels it. Place the unit before filling: it weighs about 61,000 lb when full.
Clearly marked
Exterior panels display capacity and emergency contact information, so anyone on scene knows what it is and who to call.
Four missions, one system
Supply structure protection
Feed several structure protection units from one central water source.
Support wildfire aviation
Link tanks to rapid-fill large air tankers, and refill while aircraft are flying to shorten turnaround.
Protect municipal water
Air-gapped, municipal-source compliant storage. Fill apparatus from the tank and let hydrants recover at whatever flow is available.
Bridge agricultural shortfalls
When drought restricts or suspends water allocations, stored water keeps livestock and crops going. Fittings work with standard agricultural equipment.
