What Is It?
The FSI® DAT®3030S is a portable, pneumatic, two‑line decontamination shower system designed for rapid mass‑casualty decontamination. It provides a controlled, enclosed environment with integrated spray systems for safely removing chemical, biological, or radiological contaminants from non‑ambulatory or ambulatory victims.
How Is It Used?
- Inflate the structure using compressed air or the supplied electric inflator/deflator (1–2 minutes)
- Connect to a water supply using the .75" GHT threaded inlet hoses.
- Activate spray nozzles and handheld spray guns, each providing approximately 1 gpm (4 lpm) depending on water availability
- Pump out waste water once the 200‑gallon containment floor nears capacity.
Who Uses It?
- Fire departments
- EMS and first responders
- Hazmat teams
- Hospitals and first‑receiver facilities
- Military and civil defense units
- Emergency management agencies
These groups utilize DAT3030S systems for mass‑casualty events, gross decontamination, and rapid deployment scenarios.
Maintenance Information
- Clean canopy, hoses, and spray guns after each deployment.
- Check air berm seams, valves, and reflective components for wear.
- Store in the included carry sleeve/shelter bag.
- Inspect Texin potable‑water hoses regularly for integrity and contamination.
What Is It Used With?
The DAT®3030S can be:
- Attached to additional FSI® decon showers or shelters to expand throughput capacity.
- Paired with optional accessories (heaters, detergent injectors, pumps, lighting systems, manifolds, etc.).
- Used with potable‑water‑approved Texin hoses (NSF Standard 61).
What Material Is It Made From?
- 1100 Dtex polyester, plastomer‑coated on both sides (UV & chemical resistant).
- Heavy‑duty nylon twill with PU inner coating (fire‑retardant, mildew resistant).
- Texin 985U or Texin 1209 polyurethane hoses, NSF‑approved for potable water use.
- Plastic shower & containment frame components
Rapid‑Deployment Checklist
Stage on level ground → inflate (≈1–2 minutes) → connect ¾″ GHT water supply → verify flows → configure dirty entry/clean exit → pump out near 200 gal → secure with stakes/ropes/D‑rings.
Throughput & Water Planning
Approx. 1 gpm per head/gun; plan up to ~8 gpm total depending on supply. Ensure adequate source and wastewater handling capacity for continuous operations.
