The water storage tank supplies the fire protection demand, either water required for the fire sprinkler demand or water to meet a fire flow requirement and sometimes both. There must be a source of water that will initially fill and then replenish the required amount of useable water within the tank in an 8 hour time period. There is nothing that I am aware of in the NFPA codes or the building codes that would require the pump supplying water the a storage tank to be listed for fire protection use or for that matter the materials used for the fill line to be listed either. Those components are not part of the fire protection system. The valve which maintains the level of water in the tank should be listed.
