Having adequate water supply pressure is important for fire sprinkler and standpipe systems. Fire pumps are used to increase the water pressure available from public mains, gravity tanks and reservoirs.
AHJs often get concerned when they see a fire pump rated at 750 gpm being used to satisfy a system demand of 1,000 gpm. The key is to carefully calculate the net pressure at churn and the system flow demand.
