Fire pumps are the heart of your fire protection system. NFPA 20 and NFPA 25 require routine inspections to ensure these critical systems perform when needed most.
Weekly Inspections
Fire pumps require weekly attention to catch problems early. Essential weekly checks include:
- Jockey Pump Pressure: Verify the jockey pump maintains system pressure within normal ranges
- Pump Room Environmental Conditions: Check temperature, humidity, and ventilation
- Valve Positions: Ensure all valves are in the correct positions and properly secured
- Controller Status: Inspect control panels for alerts, alarms, or abnormal indicators
