Your fire pumps are integral to controlling or extinguishing fires and maintaining safe evacuation routes. Regular fire pump inspections are essential to ensure that your fire sprinkler systems have the necessary water pressure and flow during an emergency. Ideal Fire Services offers expert fire pump inspections, repairs, and maintenance, along with comprehensive documentation and 24/7 on-call support. We also provide additional fire protection solutions to keep your fire pumps and sprinklers in peak condition. A proven method for testing fire pumps involves measuring RPM, GPM, and PSI. This test is conducted at three different flow rates—50%, 100%, and 150% of the pump’s rated capacity.

Common issues like excessive leaks, corrosion, and low pressure highlight the importance of annual inspections and regular maintenance. By staying proactive, you can ensure your fire pump system remains fully functional and ready when you need it most.

What are the main types of Fire Pumps?

Fire Pumps are required in most large commercial and residential buildings. They are especially crucial in high-rise buildings where higher floors are beyond the pumping capacity of fire departments.

Horizontal split case pumps are in-line pumps in which the pump housing is divided axially into two parts. Horizontal split case pumps are characterized by their high efficiency and low noise levels, as well as how easy they are to service.

Very similar to the Horizontal Split Case Pump, but with the motor located at the top of the pump which allows for vertical positioning. This pump takes up less space and the vertical design also protects the motor from potential flood damage.

A vertical inline multistage pump is a centrifugal pump that contains two or more impellers. These pumps are utilized when higher pressures are required in their application, such as for high rise buildings.

Vertical turbine pumps are centrifugal pumps, also known as the vertical pump, deep well, or line shaft pump. They are built to be fully submerged in water and are designed to move water from underground wells or reservoirs.

An End Suction Pump is a type of Centrifugal Pump where the suction is axial and the discharge is at 90 degrees to the suction. Many designs have a centre line discharge to comply with worldwide or regional standards.

A fire pump system is a critical fire safety element and there are many requirements to consider before choosing a system.
