Hello,
The facility that I work at has an electric fire pump/jockey pump combination to provide water to our fire lines. The max discharge pressure of the fire pump is 145psi, however the lines downstream of the pump are reading at 175psi (when the pump is at rest). I was wondering if any of you would have any ideas on how this is possible? The pressure reading on the jockey pump controller is 152psi.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
