A non-starting fire pump can put lives and property at risk. Follow these steps to identify and fix the problem:
1. Check the Power Supply
-
Ensure the electric pump has voltage and no tripped breakers.
-
For diesel pumps, check the battery charge and fuel levels.
2. Inspect the Pressure Switch
-
A faulty pressure switch may prevent automatic startup.
3. Verify the Controller Settings
-
Ensure the fire pump controller is in automatic mode and not manual or off.
4. Look for Mechanical Failures
-
Seized bearings, clogged suction lines, or air in the system can prevent startup.
5. Conduct Regular Testing
-
Routine weekly and monthly tests prevent startup failures.
By systematically troubleshooting, you can restore fire pump functionality and ensure system readiness.
