It doesn’t, I’ll look into those options. Thanks for that idea!

Does the panel monitor low suction? If so that would be an acceptable means of 
monitoring that pipe section.

Sounds like a really bad idea. Would a pressure gauge give him what he is 
looking for?

Does anyone have any experience with a paddle-type water flow detector in the 
suction line of a fire pump?

I have a long section of pipe between my backflow preventer and the suction 
flange of my pump that a plan reviewer wants supervised. I get the concern, but 
I have concerns with the paddle in the suction piping.

Any thoughts or experiences are greatly appreciated.
