Product of the Day: Idex Fire & Safety -- SAM Flows

The innovative SAM system makes complex pump operations simple by managing the water flow so the operator can focus on the fireground and the safety of their crew, not the side of the truck. SAM is an integrated total water flow control system that manages the truck’s pump, tank, intakes and discharges. With SAM, pump operators can use saved presets to set discharge pressures with just one swipe on a 10-inch display. Even before charging lines, the system automatically opens the tank-to-pump valve, so water is in the pump and ready to go. SAM helps with common fireground challenges: • Interrupted water flow from operator error • Pressure spikes on handlines • Water pressure problems due to loss of hydrant pressure or cavitation • Miscommunication or excessive radio traffic issues • Not enough crew to respond to calls • Rotating pump operators, not as familiar with truck.
