    This does nothing for me! The whole point of the classic super soakers was that there was no pressure release valve, so you could pump it up as hard as you can and put some kid's eye out.

    using pond water always ended up giving my super soakers a rather premature death. hopefully the company figured out how to avoid that

    @discounteggroll: you mean like installing a filter to get the shit that clogged the first one up? now you're just complicating things.. be nice to your super soaker.. if you MUST use pond water strain it though a coffee filter in a funnel or something.. mean pond water using..

    @Skeetz:


    I was pretty young and would have gotten yelled at by my parents if I attempted to field strip my soaker.


    I grew up the type of kid who always wanted to (and at times did) take stuff apart, but never could get it back together. Flashlights were my specialty.

    SO getting one! When do they come out? What stores? MUST HAVE!


    Anyone else remember taking the bottle off and screwing in a water hose instead? Unlimited ammo + no more pumping required to pressurize! ....my first "hack".....ahhh....brings back memories.

    @ryan_h:

    Until they get old at least... the ones I had like that, after a while, you'd pump it up to any half-decent pressure and the reservoir would pop off. I guess these ones might just have a safety valve or something instead...

    They probably have a grille or filter at the pump's inlet to prevent particulates and fish from entering. Nice invention, but probably more useful in a recreational pool/lake than in a firefight. You wanna be using all that water to actually extinguish the fire rather than raining buckets down on passers by and holding up one guy in the air.

    @No,Comma_GitEmSteveDave:


    Look closely behind him in the video. He's towing his pump with him. It looks like a modified jet-ski. I wonder if he could get up any higher with a longer hose?


    It would be interesting to see what one of these could do, hooked up to a fire hydrant though.

    I love it when gadgets like this get posted. It gives us all an opportunity to bullsh*t about things we know nothing about, like firefighting.


    Who knows if this is a viable or life saving device? All I can do is agree with the poster that it sounds really cool. Missile. Water cannon. Fire. yay!
