The fire pump station ensures the delivery of the required water amount to the fire origin site, so it is important to maintain the fire pump station, fire valves, and signal valves in proper working order.
When carrying out routine maintenance of the fire pump station, attention should be paid to the operation of the signal valves – they should be regularly cleaned and the repair kits replaced.
The image shows the buildup on a fire system signal valve that developed over approximately 10 years. This particular signal valve exhibited pressure loss, creating a risk of false alarms. The system was cleaned, and the seals were replaced.
