Fire Pump Daily Inspection Checklist
3 min readYour fire pump is the Heart of your fire protection System
A booster Pump Reinforces the public water supply when the public water main cannot provide the volume or pressure needed to supply an automatic sprinkler system.
A fire pump and tank with a self-contained water supply can be used either to supplement public water or as a source of water where no public supply is available
A pump Must not fail
If the water demand exceeds the capability of the public supply, or if no public water is available, the pump will need to start promptly in an emergency situation ( such as when sprinklers are activated ). So, it is essential to test your pump regularly and keep it maintained at all times. otherwise, a fire could cause severe property damage and shut down your operations.
A pump Needs constant Care
Establish a program of regular inspection, testing, and maintenance to ensure your fire pump performs its critical function during a fire.
