How this tool helps
Use this to estimate hose/hydrant demand for fire pump and tank planning. Always compare against project and authority-specific requirements.
Assumptions and limits
This tool provides a planning-level result. It does not replace detailed engineering design, approved software, manufacturer data, authority requirements, or project specifications.
Typical use cases
- Early estimation and tender support.
- BOQ sanity checking and technical review.
- Site discussion before final engineering verification.
- Comparison of alternatives using consistent assumptions.
Result interpretation
Read the recommendation, warning, and confidence sections together. A result without warnings is still not an approval; it only means the entered values did not trigger built-in planning alerts.

Open ToolCalculation methodology
Base fire flow is hose reel plus hydrant connected flow. Simultaneous factor and duration produce demand and water volume.
Inputs are treated as planning assumptions. The calculator shows warnings when entered values fall outside practical thresholds or selected standard-profile limits.
Version history
- v1.3.6-prelaunch: Added methodology, standard profile support, version notes, and direct PDF report download.
- v1.3.5: Calculator page added with sample data, warnings, and print-ready report layout.
Stage 2 roadmap: optional saved projects, dashboards, and shared calculation history without forcing login for free use.
Trust and verification
Every result includes assumptions, warning logic, and a downloadable report. Final engineering decisions still need qualified review, local authority approval, manufacturer data, and project specifications.
