- Ensure the pump is properly primed and connected to the water source.
3. *Start-Up: *
- Activate the pump using the control panel.
- Monitor the pump's operation, listening for any unusual sounds or
vibrations.
4. *Pressure Verification: *
- Observe the pump pressure gauge to confirm that the jockey pump
maintains a steady pressure within the acceptable range (e.g., around 10-20
psi).
- Ensure the pressure remains consistent over a period of time.
5. *Pressure Switches and Alarms: *
- Verify that the pressure switches are set correctly to activate the pump
when pressure drops below a certain level.
- Test any associated alarms to ensure they activate when needed.
6. *Shut-Down: *
- Safely shut down the jockey pump using the control panel.
*FIRE TEST FOR ELECTRIC PUMP: *

damage.
- Check that all valves in the system are open and ready for operation.
3. *Start-Up: *
- Activate the electric pump from the control panel.
- Observe the pump's behavior, listening for any unusual noises or vibrations.
4. *Flow Rate and Pressure Measurement: *
- Measure the flow rate and pressure of the water being discharged from the
pump using appropriate gauges and instruments.
- Ensure the flow rate and pressure fall within acceptable ranges as specified
by regulations or system requirements.
