Fire Pump Testing & Inspection in Ohio
Annual flow, pressure, and churn testing for electric and diesel fire pumps, to NFPA 20 and NFPA 25 standards.
Tested to NFPA 20 / NFPA 25
NFPA 20 governs fire pump installation; NFPA 25 governs ongoing inspection, testing, and maintenance.
What's included
- Churn (no-flow) test of pressure and pump operation
- Annual flow test against rated capacity
- Driver condition -- electric motor or diesel engine
- Controller, alarms, and automatic transfer switch (if applicable)
- Suction and discharge gauges, relief valves
- Battery and fuel condition for diesel-driven pumps
Why it matters
Buildings tall enough or large enough that gravity and municipal pressure alone can't supply adequate water flow rely on a fire pump to boost pressure to sprinklers and standpipes. A fire pump that doesn't start, or can't hit its rated flow and pressure, means the rest of your fire suppression system may not get the water it needs.
How often
Weekly or monthly no-flow (churn) tests depending on driver type, plus an annual full-flow test against the pump's rated capacity.
Common questions
Do you test both electric and diesel fire pumps?
Yes -- diesel-driven pumps have some additional checks (battery, fuel, engine condition) beyond what an electric pump needs, and we handle both.
What's a 'churn test'?
A no-flow test where the pump runs against a closed valve to confirm it starts properly and holds correct pressure, without actually flowing water. It's typically done weekly or monthly between the annual full-flow tests.
Our building doesn't have a fire pump -- do we need one?
It depends on your building's height, size, and available municipal water pressure. If you're unsure, we can review your system and let you know whether a fire pump is required or recommended for your property.
