Is he talking about trying to increase volume or pressure?

If he needs more water, adding a pump doesn't make more water.

Another one to throw at all...

Just got off the phone with a g.c. regarding the need for an 'upsizing' of the 
already installed, buried, and built-upon underground feed.  He said that he 
would like to (at his own $$) provide a booster pump (instead of installing a 
larger underground feed) prior to the domestic / fire sprinkler service 
connection(s) which would inevitably increase the characteristics of the supply.



This all came about as from bid to build - changes galore have happened and 
thus we have had to double the quantity of heads on a proposed dry system!



I'm seeing several concerns in the grand scheme of things... and I need some 
help in pinpointing something in NFPA that will say "yay" or "nay" to what they 
want to do.



Thanks again Forum,

RFP Chuck
