When it comes to your diesel fire pumps , there are some dos and don’ts to keep in mind. As preventative maintenance ensures better operation and longer life, we have decided to create this blog post that covers different ways to maintain your diesel fire pump. Let’s begin! 1.Inspect the Power Source Every fire pump needs power, such as through a fuel engine. Be sure to check it at least once a year. Perform a routine inspection and cycle the power source once or twice a year. Cycling will help you maintain lubrication and ensure that there is enough power available for the fire pump. 2.Be Sure Everything is Moving Freely NY Fire Pumps are meant to last for many years, but they may seize or lock without proper maintenance. This often results in a major fire safety risk. So it’s best to perform fire pump inspections and ensure that every part is moving freely without any hindrance. Use lubricants on all moving parts to keep them from locking in place. 3.Test Controls and Sprinklers O

  Both electric and   diesel fire pumps  provide fire sprinklers throughout a facility with adequate water supply during a fire. So, what are the differences between electric and diesel fire pumps? Some of the key differences between electric and diesel fire pumps include their applications, maintenance and cost, and lifespan. Fire Pump Applications Diesel fire pumps are ideal for applications when there’s already a separate pump house or the pump room is located on an exterior wall. Some facilities that use diesel fire pumps include warehouses, aircraft hangars, and industrial facilities. Since their footprint is larger than an electric fire pump, they’re not suitable for facilities with minimum space. Unlike diesel, electric fire pumps can be located within the building. Office buildings and condominiums are often equipped with electric fire pumps. Additionally, high rises sometimes install an additional electric fire pump above the ground or basement level to increase water pressure
