Fire pumps are a critical part of fire protection system, especially when they are fed via suction from water tanks. Properly maintained and tested, fire pumps will deliver countless years of worry-free performance.
Two (2) types of testing of fire pumps are needed:
1. Weekly / monthly testing, typically done by facility personnel.
2. Annual flow testing that should be done by a contractor. Maintenance and testing of fire pumps should be in accordance with NFPA 25 – Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems
