Chapter 6 of NFPA No. 20. (Two separate, reliable sources of electric power.)
2. All pump installations must have remote pump running and supervisory
alarms in a constantly occupied location, (generally fire dispatch) as per
NFPA 20.
3. Each pump controller shall have individual pressure sensing lines.
All pumps shall be automatic start and manual stop. Automatic shutdown,
except upon complete exhaustion of reservoir water, is prohibited.
4. All salt water pumps must have special metallurgy or coating systems
in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
5. Controllers must be listed (UL or FM), as per NFPA 20.(Not
custom-built.)
