How do you select the appropriate fire pump for a specific application?

Selecting the appropriate fire pump involves several steps:

• Assessing water demand: Calculate the required flow rate and pressure based on the building's size, occupancy, and fire suppression system requirements.
• Evaluating water supply: Ensure the available water source can meet the pump’s demands.
• Considering power availability: Verify that the electrical supply can support the pump’s power requirements.
• Compliance with standards: Ensure the selected pump meets relevant standards like NFPA 20.
• Consulting experts: Work with fire protection engineers and pump manufacturers to choose the best solution for your specific needs.
