Aqua Blaster Harness

A revolutionary harness/frame designed to support a fire hose with an attached nozzle, allowing a single firefighter to operate it with ease.

Features

• Enhanced Control: Utilizing the firefighter’s torso and lower body strength, the Aqua Blaster enhances control over the fire hose and nozzle, enabling advancing and maneuvering without assistance.
• Hands-Free Maneuverability: The fire hose can be maneuvered hands-free, providing better balance and allowing the user to brace themselves while walking or advancing the hose.
• Injury Reduction: The Aqua Blaster significantly reduces injuries such as chronic joint and back pain, commonly associated with long-term fire hose use.
• Durable Construction: Built from heavy-duty lightweight aluminum, the harness/frame ensures durability and ease of use.
• Flow Control Components: Featuring two 90-degree elbow swivels attached to a connecting tube, the Aqua Blaster allows for easy pivoting to the left or right, adjusting the water stream’s direction. The fire nozzle can be rotated up and down and locked at a fixed vertical angle.
• Extended Use Comfort: Reduces fatigue when using a charged fire hose for extended periods.
• Versatile Compatibility: Both elbows have a 150-degree range of rotation. One elbow is equipped with a fire hose adapter coupling, while the other accepts the fire nozzle of your choice.
• Agent Compatibility: Compatible with various agents, including water, foam concentrates, gels, dry chemicals, or any other agent used with fire hoses and nozzles.
• Ideal Applications: Perfect for exterior, HAZMAT, and forest fire firefighting.

Additional Information for Firefighters

The Aqua Blaster Harness enables a single firefighter to safely and effectively control a charged fire hose by transferring nozzle reaction forces away from the arms and shoulders and into the torso and lower body. This design improves balance, stability, and control while advancing or operating the hose, especially during extended operations.

Operational Advantages

• Allows a single firefighter to operate a charged hose line without direct assistance
• Improves stability on uneven terrain and during long hose stretches
• Helps maintain control during exterior attack, defensive operations, and specialty applications
• Frees up additional personnel for search, ventilation, or secondary tasks

Load Distribution & Ergonomics

The harness redistributes hose and nozzle forces across the firefighter’s torso and hips rather than concentrating strain on wrists, arms, shoulders, and the lower back. This reduces operator fatigue and helps limit long‑term musculoskeletal strain commonly associated with repeated hose operations.

Ideal Applications

• Exterior fire attack
• HAZMAT and decontamination operations
• Forest and wildland firefighting
• Specialty agent application requiring controlled, steady stream placement

Hose & Nozzle Compatibility Notes

The Aqua Blaster is designed to accept the fire nozzle of the user’s choice through its swiveling elbow assembly. It is well suited for use with handlines where directional control and operator stability are critical.

No nozzle included.

Training & Familiarization

The Aqua Blaster features an intuitive design that allows firefighters to quickly adapt with minimal training time. Experienced nozzle operators typically adjust rapidly due to the natural movement and body positioning supported by the harness.

Maintenance & Durability

Constructed from corrosion‑resistant materials and designed for repeated exposure to water, pressure cycling, and outdoor environments, the Aqua Blaster requires minimal routine maintenance beyond standard inspection and cleaning.

Helpful Buying Notes

• Supplied without a nozzle to allow departments to use existing preferred nozzles
• Designed for extended use with charged hose lines
• Intended primarily for exterior, HAZMAT, and forest fire operations

Please note, the Aqua Blaster is supplied without a nozzle.
