Cottage Kits

The "Home & Cottage Protection Kits" by Mercedes Textiles and introduced in 2001, have been discontinued. However, their concept lives on with a new generation of kit moving forward.

The "Cottage Kits", as they were generally known, proved to be economical, simple and reliable — properties valued by those a bit outside of reliable municipal fire service coverage. Not only were they sources of 'piece-of-mind', but also hard workers for casual irrigation, pressure washing and cleaning of decks, docks and cottage toys. And yes, on a moment's notice, were quick responders to a nearby fire emergency.

For many, these kits were an ideal way to get a simple, easy-to-operate turn-key system for basic fire protection. A true family asset. As an entry level product, it was perfect for the novice or those with limited abilities — suitable for ages 8 to 80. This system was not a toy. The components were of professional quality — the same as used by wildland fire crews.

With its excellent track record, the Cottage Kit will live on in a new incarnation. This next generation kit has all of the features and qualities of the original, but has been reworked for greater value, ease of use and improved performance.

Cottage Kit "A"

At the heart of each of the kits is the lightweight portable fire pump weighing under 20 lb. -- being very easy to start because of their unique clutch operation. Kit "A" is a simple system that will be sure to economically satisfy many owners of smaller properties that are looking for basic fire protection and general grounds applications. Looking to support 2 or 3 rooftop sprinklers? It is up to the task. With additional options, connection can be made to garden hoses and sprinklers.
