ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, a system and a method for obtaining sieved water, for fighting fires, from a source of water having foreign objects are disclosed. A strainer is connected to a tank via a hose such that water may be pumped from the strainer to the tank. The strainer includes a water inlet having a sieve-like material over it and a water outlet connector where the hose connects. The strainer is submerged in a source of water such as a pond or stream. As water enters the strainer via the water inlet, the sieve-like material prevents foreign objects such as rocks and leaves from entering the strainer. Therefore, the foreign objects never reach the tank. A pan may be connected to the bottom of the strainer to elevate the strainer above the bottom of the source of water. Such elevating helps achieve desired flow rates without stirring or roiling foreign objects such as sand or gravel that may be at the bottom of the source of water.
