@hvacknowitall: Fire pumps... I was recently invited onto a site for a fire pump start up by Armstrong Fluid Technology. The install was done by Stumpf Fire Protection and start up by Shiels Electric. Fire pumps work by pressurizing sprinkler lines. If a sprinkler head opens up. The loop loses pressure and the pump starts up to maintain pressure. If there are small pressure loses in the line, the jockey pump that is piped in parallel will start to maintain pressure rather than the larger pump. Thank you to Armstrong and their service providers for the education and invite onto site. #firepump #pumpeducation #fireprotection #firepumpstartup #firepumpsystems
Huh? If there’s a “leak in the system”, the flow switch will detect it and send an alarm, as would a compromised head.

Jockey pump maintains static pressure, when static is exceeded and can’t be maintained, then the fire pump kicks in and exceeds Jockey pump static pressure…. I’m guessing it’s in either multi level building or structure.

It maintains pressure to the sprinkler system....If that main pump runs the Fire Depart is Coming..Its a full blown alarm..!!.. One head going off is all it takes to overwhelm the jockey pump and set off the main.
