What Is a Fire Pump?
At Arif Al Nahdi Company (ANC), we define a certified fire pump as a pumping unit designed to increase water pressure from an existing source (city network or tank/reservoir) to meet the required flow and pressure for fire protection systems such as sprinklers, hydrants, and standpipe systems during emergencies. It is installed according to NFPA 20 and tested and listed by accredited agencies (such as UL), where UL 448 specifies the requirements for centrifugal fire pumps for fixed fire protection service.
With this function, the pump ensures a stable supply of pressure and flow as designed—without creating a new water source.
