Abstract
Manual standpipe systems, which are permitted for low-rise buildings, do not need fire pumps. But all automatic and semiautomatic standpipe systems need a water supply that can meet the system demand without input from the fire department. For most standpipe systems, this will mean the installation of a fire pump. The basics will be covered regarding fire pumps and how to meet the competing demands of providing the minimum pressure requirements of the standpipe system while making sure that you do not create too much pressure with a fire pump. For the reader that is not too familiar with fire pumps, there will be information here on how fire pumps work, how to select pumps, and how to make sure that the pump will not over-pressurize the standpipe system. For the seasoned fire protection professional, this information will be a valuable review focused on fire pumps being used in standpipe systems.
