The Waterous CX PTO-driven end-suction water pump is for departments who need a tough, all-around, easy-to-use single-stage end-suction unit as their main pump. Designed for mounting on PTO-driven ARFF trucks and fire boats, the CX pump can also be front-mounted or direct-driven. Providing reliable performance from 750 GPM @ pressures of 150 PSI (2850 L/min. @ 10.3 bar) and up to 1250 GPM @ pressures of 150 PSI (4750 L/min. @ 10.3 bar).
Low Maintenance
Backed by an industry-exclusive factory 5-year warranty, we've got your CX single-stage fire pumps service and maintenance needs covered. CX single-stage fire pumps can be repaired and back in service faster than apparatus equipped with other brands of ARFF fire pumps.

The CX offers five transmission options to match your pump mounting requirements as well as an electric, oil-free rotary vane primer that can be mounted directly on a Waterous split-shaft pump transmission or separately mounted combined with a Waterous priming valve. Pressure controls, corrosion protection, overheat protection, and foam management systems are also available.

Options and Accessories
- Priming System: An electric, oil-free rotary vane primer mounted directly on a Waterous split-shaft pump transmission or separately mounted combined with a Waterous priming valve forms the priming system. A lubrication option allows the use of Prime-Safe lubricant (priming tank is required when the lubrication option is selected).
- Pressure Control System: The Waterous Intake Relief Valve system is designed to act as a safety valve by "dumping" excess pressure from the inlet side of the pump. The Discharge Relief Valve provides sensitive pump control to protect firefighters from sudden pressure surges resulting from changes in discharge flows from the pump.
- Manifold Drain Valve: Drains all points of the pump simultaneously with the operation of a single control.
- Corrosion Protection: Replaceable zinc element that is installed directly on the pump intake piping and into the pump waterway. These anodes sacrifice the zinc element to galvanic corrosion.
- Discharge Valves: Your choice of the trusted Waterous 1/4 turn 2.5" and 3.5" ball-type discharge valve or a 4" ANSI flanged discharge valve. Both options come standard with chrome-plated brass ball and hydraulically balanced seal assembly.
- Overheat Protection Manager: The OPM consists of an illuminated warning light on the operator's panel whenever the pump approaches an overheat condition. Optional audible alarm is available.
- Intake Fittings: Choose from three styles of intakes, including a 5" or 6" Threaded intake (model CXR), a 6" Flanged intake (model CXN), and a 6" Victaulic intake (model CXV). Note: Threaded intake available with 2.5" to 3" auxiliary intake ports.
- Foam Manager: Consisting of a 500 or 1000 GPM foam manifold and foam proportioner.
