Here is what our customers are saying on our fire mitigation solution:

If you live in a fire zone and have a pool this is something you should highly consider. Living in San Diego and in the evacuation area in the 2003 Cedar Fire and again in the 2007 Witch Creek Fire opens one’s eyes in regards to fire safety.
Purchasing our current home with a pool made me think of the water available to wet down an area, utilize the water to reduce fire spread, provide equipment and additional water source for the fire department.
An average fire truck has 500 gallons. I have over 20,000 gallons of water in my pool (40 fire trucks) to utilize in a fire. It was the perfect option.
After speaking with several individuals regarding pumps, fire hoses, and sprinklers. We reviewed Sofer Soaker with Ben Sofer. Ben Sofer -Sofer Soaker has spent years in the pool industry, is a wealth of knowledge and lives in a fire zone. He thought for years how he could utilize his pool water to protect his home and designed Sofer Soaker. He explained his design to me and it was just what we were looking for.
The roof sprinklers will keep the house wet and cover ambers before they start a fire.
We have a fire hose, 1 1/2” fire department connection to utilize and available to the fire department in case of an emergency.
As a graduate from the University of Central Missouri with a BS degree in Industrial Safety Engineering with a specialty in Fire Science. Sofer Soaker intrigued me.
For 40 years I worked in commercial insurance in Risk Engineering Services, Risk Management. I spent many years inspection large commercial, industrial properties for exposure and controls.
I was going to be re-plastering my pool and it was the perfect opportunity to install Sofer Soaker and use the water in the pool, pump and sprinklers to protect our home.
It’s an amazing system and we feel fortunate to have it.
Thank you Sofer Soaker,
