WATERAX MINI-MARK® WATSON EDITION
Ultra-lightweight 2-stroke high-pressure pump delivering 85 PSI and 102 GPM in an 18 lb package. Backpackable, multi-position capable, with electronic overspeed protection.
The Legend Returns, Lighter Than Ever
The WATERAX MINI-MARK® Watson Edition pays tribute to the original MINI-MARK from the 1990s, known for its lightweight design and reliable performance in initial attack fires. This modern evolution delivers 85 PSI and 102 GPM from a compact unit weighing just 18 lbs—light enough to backpack into remote locations where every pound matters.
Equipped with a 2.3 HP 2-stroke engine and single-stage pump end, the MINI-MARK Watson Edition features an electronic overspeed cutout switch that protects against engine and pump damage during loss of prime conditions. The anodized aluminum pump components and composite corrosion-resistant impeller deliver durability in demanding field conditions.
Multi-position capability lets you run the pump at any angle, while the centrifugal clutch engages the pump end automatically at operating speed. The detachable pump end and integrated carry handle make transport and field service straightforward.
Rewind & Configuration Options
Ultra-Lightweight at 18 lbs
At just 18 lbs (8.2 kg), the MINI-MARK Watson Edition is one of the lightest high-pressure pumps available. The integrated ergonomic carry handle and compact design make it easy to backpack into remote locations.
Multi-Position Operation
Run the pump at any angle—no restrictions on positioning. The centrifugal clutch automatically engages the pump end at 3,900 RPM, building pressure only when the engine reaches operating speed.
Electronic Overspeed Protection
The electronic overspeed cutout switch safeguards against engine and pump damage during loss of prime conditions. Protects your investment and keeps you pumping when it matters most.
Detachable Pump End
Four screws with a 5 mm Allen key release the pump end for easy field service and quick replacement. Minimizes downtime and simplifies maintenance in remote locations.

Applications
The MINI-MARK Watson Edition excels in applications where weight and portability are critical factors.
Initial Attack Firefighting
The ultra-lightweight design lets crews quickly deploy to fire scenes and begin suppression operations. At 18 lbs, the MINI-MARK can be carried by a single firefighter over rough terrain.
Structure Protection
Ideal for structure protection units (SPUs) where multiple lightweight pumps are needed. Easy to transport, set up, and relocate as fire conditions change.
Sprinkler Operations
Powers sprinkler systems for structure and perimeter defense. The optimal operating point of 50 GPM @ 50 PSI is well-suited for sprinkler head requirements.
Tandem Pumping
Chain multiple MINI-MARK pumps together for water relay over long distances. The lightweight design makes it practical to deploy multiple units in remote locations.
