Remote pump control for wildfire preparedness
The Dry Lightning 3000 brings the starting sequence, throttle and main water control of a gas-powered pump into one purpose-built platform. It is designed for rural homes, ranches, camps and crews that need organized emergency water movement.
A button press on the handheld remote begins a timed sequence that prepares the water valve, enables the engine, advances the throttle and operates the starter. The operator can stop the unit from the remote or use the manual controls.
No internet required. The handheld remote is the only control link. There is no app, no cloud service and no remote monitoring.

Important operating information
Use gas engine-driven pumps outdoors with safe fuel handling, ventilation and hot-surface clearance. Confirm water supply and prime before operation. Follow all engine, pump and emergency instructions.
- Never run the engine indoors or in an enclosed area.
- Do not run the pump dry or deadhead it without the specified relief path.
- Keep clear of pressurized hoses, fittings and hot components.
- Inspect fuel, battery, valves, strainers and hose connections before use.
- The remote operates the pump only while an operator is present to supervise it.
- Follow evacuation orders; never remain in danger to operate equipment.
