Explain testing and maintenance?

Answer 1

Open two hoses as far from the fire pump as possible. Run the pump to see it holding 4 -5 bar pressure. The hoses should be able to cover a 10-12m range.

Monthly - check the pump visually for any leaks, noise, vibration. All valves are open. In auto

Annual - Open all valves and check for movement

5 years - Dismantle and inspect wear items
