Working Principles
Fire pumps are essential for distributing water through sprinkler systems when water pressure from mains and firefighting equipment is insufficient. They are also critical in containing fires in lower-set buildings.
A fire pump system consists of the pump, motor (or driver), and controller. This system draws water from an underground supply, water tank, lake, or reservoir, and is powered by electricity or diesel fuel. The pump then distributes this water through the sprinkler system and hose standpipes.
Custom packages can be designed and commissioned to meet specific application and site requirements.
Application:
Fire pumps are commonly found in mining, industrial and building services. They are an integral requirement for safety.

Working Principles
Fire pumps are essential for distributing water through sprinkler and hydrant systems when water pressure from mains or water storage tanks is insufficient. They are essential for providing safety to occupants of buildings, protection for buildings, and compliance with Building Codes of Australia, Australian Standards and requirements set by insurance providers.
A fire pump system consists of a single or multiple pumps, diesel engine and/or electric motor, fire controller, fuel tank, batteries, pipework, valves, fittings, electrical sensing components. This system draws water from a mains water supply, water tank, lake, or reservoir, and is powered by electricity or diesel fuel. The pump then distributes this water through the sprinkler, drencher and / or hydrant systems.
Custom packages can be designed and commissioned to meet specific application and site requirements.
Application
Fire pumps are commonly located in industrial factories, mines, commercial buildings, hospitals, low/medium/high density housing complexes. They are an integral requirement for safety.
