Pump tests are conducted at a location of your choosing provided that location has a flat and level surface and a source of water (usually a hydrant) to fill the suction tank used to conduct the test.  Water is circulated from the tank, through the pump and back into the tank using play pipes and water diffusers.  All tests are conducted in accordance with NFPA 1911.  Each test takes approximately one hour to complete.  Each pump is done separately.  Upon completion, TFS will furnish a written report detailing the results of the tests.   Because we come to your location, there is minimal downtime.  Often times, we can complete a department’s entire fleet in a single day.   Aside from conducting an annual pump service test for regulatory compliance, these tests are ideal for identifying problems when they are small and can be corrected before they become major and costly issues.  A pump breakdown during a fire ground operation is not the time to discover the problem.   Technical Fire Services, Inc. has a current Certificate of Authorization from the New Jersey Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors to offer engineering services.
