I have done a few diesel engine fire pumps that we had to pipe the Raw Water Outlet to the floor drain. I believe this is what you are referring to. Its the only water source that I have ever had to pipe to drain from the ENGINE of the fire pump. Its been 1" discharge that we piped to the floor drain on the ones that we have done.
It leaves the top of the reservoir tank and is for overflow purposes only. The manufacturer or pump representative could probably tell you how much may be discharged and how often it is used.
