Dear Forum, NFPA 13 (2002) 15.2.2* Pumps. A single automatically controlled fire pump installed in accordance with NFPA 20, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection, shall be an acceptable water supply source.
A15.2.2 An automatically controlled vertical turbine pump taking suction from a reservoir, pond, river, or well complies with 15.2.2. I have an owner that wants to supply domestic water and fire protection water with a vertical turbine pump on a well. Does this pump need to be installed per NFPA 20? Does this pump need to be a listed fire pump? I've always ASSUMED that if a pump supplied fire protection it needed to be a listed fire pump installed per NFPA 20. Now I'm not so sure.
