Wisconsin inventor Dean Landers invented the giant soaker hose to help home owners and commercial businesses protect their properties from fire.
  Basically he supersized a soaking garden hose to produce the new product. Built out of high quailty, lay-flat pvc hose material, this 4-in. dia. super soaker hose has the ability to supply 600 ft. of protection around a home, office or farm building. Landers says it provides the same amount of water protection in just an hour as 2 1/2 loads from an airborne water bomber. Whether a structure is near a dry prairie, dense forest, or other structures with potential for fire, this amout of water has been proven to keep structures safe from a surrounding nearby fire.
In 2007 a raging forest fire in Minnesota burned 57 square miles in just over a week in the Superior National Forest. Several hundred homes were saved in part due to home sprinkler systems, Landers says. Those only put out about 50 gal. per hour, and they rely on electricity. Lander’s Giant Soaker drenches an area with 25,000 gallons per hour. “It’s common sense that the more water you lay on or in front of a fire, the better,” says Landers, “Our system is powered by a standard off-the-shelf water pump. An open body of water like a tank, pool, or a nearby lake, pond, or even ocean, can be the water source. It’s a simple product that anyone can install and use.”
Landers, who’s a six-year veteran fire fighter and hosemaker for the British Colombia fire squad, says that breaking into the fire defense market has been difficult because fire departments are reluctant to change.
  Chad Christensen, who owns the 62-year-old Illinois Company Fol-da-tank, will handle marketing and distribution to both consumer and commercial markets for the Giant Soaker because it goes hand in hand with their portable tank products. More on this company is available on their website http://www.fol-da-tank.com or visit them on Facebook.
   A Giant Soaker Hose system, complete with pump, sells on Amazon.com for $1,995.
