Information Sheet
Fire Pump Sets
One of the essential components of a fire protection system is the fire pump.
Ensuring that your fire pump is always ready for an emergency is crucial for the safety of your building and its occupants.
Adhering to the Australian Standard AS 1851 is not just a recommendation; it is a crucial step in maintaining the optimal performance of your fire pump system.
Components of a Fire Pump System
A fire pump system consists of several main components, including:
- Engine: The power source for the pump, typically a diesel or electric motor.
- Pump: The device that moves water through the sprinkler system.
- Controller: The control panel that monitors and manages the operation of the fire pump.
- Battery: Provides backup power to the controller in the event of a power outage.
Each of these components requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
The regular inspection and maintenance of pump sets is not only a requirement under Australian Standards, but also a lifeline in preventing fatalities during an emergency. The components of the protection system are continuously evaluated and tested. Establishing and consistently maintaining a regular inspection cycle is not just a task, but a crucial responsibility that directly impacts the lifespan of the fire pump, ensuring its readiness when it is needed most.
Scheduled Maintenance Requirements
Maintenance is required as part of the Australian Standard AS1851.
- Weekly, monthly, and annual testing and maintenance of the pump set
- Annual flow testing of the pump set system
- Annual and five-yearly fire pump service
