A fire pump is a device that creates increased pressure in a water system, typically for use in fighting fires. The pump’s function is to move water from its source (typically a reservoir or well) to the fire site at higher pressure than the natural hydrostatic pressure would provide.

Fire pumps are commonly found in buildings that need fire protection, such as high-rises or storage warehouses. This blog post will review the different types of fire protection pumps and how they can be used in different situations.

The type of pump that you’ll need for your installation is based on the size of the equipment, so it’s important to carefully select which one will be best in order to avoid unnecessary costs or pressure-related installation damage.

If you don’t take the necessary factors into account, your pump installation could fail. For example, not achieving sufficient pressure requirements may result in needing a new pump installed.
