Fire Pumps
Fire Pumps are used on fire protection systems in which the
dedicated water supply for the system cannot meet the potential
demand of the system. The pump pushes large amounts of water at a
rapid rate through the system increasing the amount of water to
fight a fire. Typically pumps are used when a building is too big
for the dedicated water supply to effectively protect the building
on its own. Fire pumps are to be run regularly and tested annually
to guarantee that it will operate properly in a time of need.
In a test the licensed sprinkler fitter simulates a fire on the
sprinkler system which will engage the fire pump to run. During the
test pressure readings are taken to make sure that the pump is
pushing out the right amount of pressure to adequately supply that
particular system. If during the test the pump fails or malfunctions
in any way we then make the proper repairs so that the pump
functions properly.
