I have a couple of semi-green customers trying to up the ante of their office 
complexes in the shadows of MIT and Harvard.  We’ve talked about flowmeter 
retrofits for their fire pumps and maybe installing these on their FCV’s not 
only to hasten water waste but to also slow down the MIC issues beginning to 
occur in several key areas.  They pay for water used during pump tests as 
estimated by the water purveyor witnessing the tests but not quarterly-annual 
testing.

Any idea what that cost is, i.e. per floor or test connection?  I’m wondering 
what the amortization schedule might be; metrics of time and costs saved over 
time seem like they might be hard to track or predict.

We have several buildings that have them here in Denver.  Not gaining 
popularity due to installation cost.

Are there any service folks out there testing buildings with circulators on the
