Product of the Day: SAM — Integrated Total Water Control System from IDEX

SAM manages your water flow, so you can focus on the fireground, not the side of your fire apparatus. The first five minutes are stressful. Let SAM assist. With a few swipes on the screen, tell SAM what lines to open with their set pressure. SAM will take care of the rest. SAM gets water to your initial attack crew quickly by managing your truck’s pump, tank, intakes and discharges. The SAM system replaces your pressure governor and takes care of opening and closing valves based on operator settings. Instead of a complex fire truck pump panel, you can have all your pump controls in a 10″ touch-screen display. The saved presets in the SAM interface allow pump operators to set discharge pressures fast. Even before charging lines, the system automatically opens the tank to pump valve so water is in the pump and it’s ready to go.
