The Dry Thunder 3000
The automatic remote-powered Honda water pump. It auto chokes and auto starts on its own — nobody has to be there. Run it from a phone or computer anywhere, even from a fire shelter or anywhere safely away from your home. Call 541-419-3203 to order yours.
Auto Choke + Auto Start
The pump chokes itself and starts itself. No one needs to be at the equipment.
Start From A Phone Or Computer
Remote start from anywhere — even a fire shelter, far away from the property.
Automatic Ball & Float Valves
Available with a 2" automatic ball valve, plus an automatic float valve so the pump never runs when tank water is too low.
Tank Level In Gallons
Water level monitoring shows exactly how many gallons are in your tank at any time.
Sensors That Double-Check The Pump
Upgrades add vibration sensors to verify the pump is actually running, and a flow meter that measures GPM and total flow with a no-flow alarm.
- ⚠No flow but vibration detected → alarm: “Pump has no water”
- ⚠Slow flow and no vibration → alarm: “Out of gas”
Push-Button Controller In Your Hand
A physical push-button controller works up to 150 feet standard — or up to 2 miles line-of-sight with the upgrade — from anywhere on your property:
- ✓Kill switch — shut down instantly
- ✓Throttle — idle or full 3600 RPM
- ✓2-second starter switch
- ✓Powered by a simple cell-phone power bank — solar backup available to keep the battery topped off and sensors ready to report any trigger
When The Smoke
Shows Up,
There's No Time.
When wildfire risk gets close, you need a fast way to move water from a tank to hoses or sprinklers. Building it last-minute is stressful — and a pump that loses prime or pulls debris can fail right when it’s needed.
Wildfire Watchdog gets the equipment ready before the season starts.
