NFPA 25 is the baseline for inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems. Compliance helps maximize system integrity to avoid failure and ensure fast, effective response in a fire emergency.
Fire pumps are an essential part of many water-based fire protection systems. They are used to increase the pressure (measured in psi and bar) of a water source when that source is not adequate for the system it's supplying.
In all cases, the electric motor should be allowed to run for a minimum of 10 minutes and a qualified person should always be present in the pump room whenever any fire pump(s) are running to make observations related to operating issues and to record results.

For electric motor-driven fire pumps, we recommend at least running your equipment once a week for at least ten (10) minutes for a visual inspection. You do not need to flow and measure water during this test \u2014 just witness the equipment running and have someone qualified present to address any problems that may arise.
The annual fire pump flow test is a full test of a pump's capabilities and is arguably the most critical test. It is conducted once a year to measure flow and pressure and make sure the fire pump is ready to respond to a call to service.
The NFPA requires this test for pumps rated for over 750 gpm. Immediately after the 20-minute test, run the pump for 5 minutes, at its rated capacity, at 165 psi. Run the pump for 10 minutes at 70% capacity and 200 psi. Run the pump for 10 more minutes at 50% capacity and 250 psi.
Quarterly Maintenance Verify the integrity of the pump's foundation and check the hold-down bolts for tightness. For oil-lubricated pumps, as a rule of thumb, you should change the oil after the first 200 hours of operation for a new pump.
The fire pump flow test is required by NFPA 25 to be conducted once a year in order to measure the pump's flow and pressure. The test should be performed by attaching hoses to the discharge test header. The hoses are run to a safe location where the flow of water will cause no damage.
