Nothing fights fire better than foam, and no one does foam systems better than

Waterous. We’ve led the charge in foam technology worldwide, and have more

compressed air foam systems (CAFS) in the field than any other manufacturer.

Why? The reasons speak for themselves.

• World-class training by certified experts

• Leading edge foam technology and development

• Industry-best warranty on foam equipment

• Broad offering of products to fit any scale or

situation

No two products demonstrate these Waterous hallmarks

more aptly than Advantus® — the most advanced foam

system on earth or Aquis™ — the perfect

blend of features and value in a foam

proportioner.

These two models represent the gold standard for technical

innovation, fire-field-tested durability and Class A foam mixing

performance.

All of which is why more firefighters worldwide turn to

Waterous for their foam system needs than anyone else. FOAM PROPORTIONER

Page 3: Waterous Foam System Brochure 07/09

It takes more than concentrate and water to create

the world’s most effective fire suppressing foam.

It demands world-class engineering coupled with

breakthrough technology to get it right. In other

words, it takes Advantus®, the world’s most advanced

foam system.

No single class of foam can extinguish all flames. That’s why Waterous offers

the Dual Tank Selector. With it, your apparatus can be armed with tanks of

Class A and Class B foam. The electrically actuated Dual Tank Selector is

powered by a 12- or 24-volt gear motor, and allows you toggle back and

forth as needed using a 3 position rocker switch located on the operator’s

panel. To ensure zero cross contamination, the system also provides a clean

water flush of the foam concentrate pump and foam piping.

The Waterous Class B Foam Overboard Pick-Up Kit enables you to add

Class B foam quickly to your Waterous foam system without having to

have an onboard foam tank. The pick-up connection is plumbed into the

foam system of the vehicle. With one connection, Class B Foam can be

introduced quickly and easily.

Industry exclusive 12-volt or 24-volt powered

Wanner Hydra-Cell pump is manufactured

to handle high viscosity fluids, even with

suspended abrasive particles.

LONG LASTING HYDRA-CELL® PUMP

Manufactured from Schedule 10 316 stainless steel for

long, reliable life. Features victaulic groove connections at

each end for easy connection to the apparatus plumbing.

DURABLE PROCESS MANIFOLD

A 16-bit mixed signal microcontroller with 60kB flash

memory, 2kB RAM and 12-bit analog to digital receiver

converter compares and calculates readings from the

incoming water conductivity probe, temperature probe,

flowmeter and foam solution conductivity probe.

LEADING EDGE MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL

Manufactured with stainless steel buttons

that last longer than rubber buttons and a

digital display that shows flow per minute,

total volume of water discharge, total amount

of concentrate used and which foam tank is

in use. The display also warns operators when

concentrate tanks are low. For even easier

operation, The Advantus® Foam System can be installed to

power up automatically once the pump is in gear.

INTUITIVE CONTROLS, SIMPLE OPERATION

The Advantus® Foam System features

instant, accurate tech support via a laptop

installed with Advantus software or using

our Internet based diagnostic

testing and repair.

LAPTOP DIAGNOSTIC

The Advantus® Foam System leads the

industry in technology and in support. Each

model comes with a 2-year warranty, fully

integrated product service solutions and

lifetime support.

ADVANTUS® 6

DUAL TANk SELECTOR

OVERBOARD PICk-UP kIT

FOUR SENSORS FOR SUPERIOR FOAM

Features four dedicated sensors, two of

which use advanced conductivity technology.

This allows The Advantus® Foam System

to monitor the foam/water ratio — even in

ultra low flow conditions — as well as the

water temperature. Advantus then makes

automatic, on-the-fly adjustments that ensure

optimum foam effectiveness with the least amount of waste.

It’s not easy to properly proportion fire-suppressing Class

A foam. To get the ratios right, you need to compensate

for a number of variables. Doing so demands world-

class engineering coupled with dependable flow meter

technology. In other words, you need The Aquis™

Foam Proportioner from Waterous. It delivers a level of

performance and reliability typically reserved for more

expensive Class A foam proportioners. The Waterous FoamFill™ Foam Tank Refill System is

completely-automated making it easier, safer, cleaner

and quicker to top off the foam tank or tanks in

your apparatus. The FoamFill™ Foam Tank Refill can

be used with both Class A and B foam and features

a dripless coupling available in either brass or

stainless steel in 3/4-inch or 1-inch sizes. The unit

is powered by a 12- or 24-volt motorized pump.

When turned on, a microcontroller identifies if

tanks are low, and automatically fills them without

overflowing using a stainless steel wick wand and

six feet of reinforced hose.
