Fire Pump Systems: Keeping Your Building Safe from Fire
As a Facilities Manager, Condominium Manager, or Property Officer, keeping your building safe is one of your biggest responsibilities.
Fire pump systems like fire hose reel pumps, fire sprinkler pumps, wet riser pumps, and hydrant pumps are essential for protecting your building and its residents. At Pumps Service Centre (PSC), we’re here to help you understand these systems and keep them in top condition.
What Are Fire Pump Systems?
Fire pump systems ensure enough water pressure and flow during a fire. They make sure water gets where it needs to go, quickly and efficiently. Here’s what each type does:
Fire Hose Reel Pumps
Purpose: Fire hose reels are the first line of defense for small fires. Fire hose reel pumps ensure enough water pressure is available for the hoses placed throughout the building.
How It Helps: It allows residents, security, or staff to respond quickly to small fires while waiting for the fire department.
Fire Sprinkler Pumps
Purpose: Fire sprinkler systems are automatic and activate when they detect heat. Fire sprinkler pumps boost the water pressure so that the sprinklers can spray enough water to put out or control a fire.
How It Helps: By activating early, these systems slow down the spread of a fire, giving people more time to safely evacuate and protecting property
Wet Riser Pumps
Purpose: Wet risers are pipes that carry water vertically through the building for firefighting. Wet riser pumps keep water ready and pressurized, allowing firefighters to connect their hoses easily.
How It Helps: It provides quick access for fire brigades to fight the fire at upper floors, speeding up the response time.
Hydrant Pumps
Purpose: Fire hydrant systems are used by the fire department to connect hoses and fight large fires. Hydrant pumps make sure there is enough water pressure for effective firefighting.
How It Helps: Hydrant pumps give firefighters reliable access to high-pressure water, making it easier to contain large fires.
