What Is The Starting Method Of The Fire Hydrant Pump

Aug 24, 2025

Many people are not very familiar with the use of fire hydrant pumps, although they are installed in many places. This may cause inconvenience and increase the risk when we use it. In fact, besides the pressure involved in the system, there are many other aspects that need to be paid attention to and used with caution. However, sometimes unexpected situations may occur during the operation of the fire protection system. For example, some people may activate the glass button out of curiosity or boredom, or they may smash the glass first and then use a water gun to put out the fire because the situation was too urgent to consider. This may cause the water pump to have already started, but the entire fire protection system has not yet been put into operation, and the pressure in the pipeline network will immediately double. If the pressure is too strong or too large, it will cause the pipeline network to burst. So we should pay more attention to the starting method of fire pumps.

Firstly, when starting under temporary high pressure, it is possible to damage the glass because under normal circumstances, the air pressure is not very high, and temporary high pressure will not immediately cause the pipeline network to burst.

Secondly, if it is a stable high-pressure system, the fire hydrant pump can be directly started. In general, in emergency fire situations, the fire center will remotely control the start and stop of the fire hydrant, mainly with a broken glass button, followed by water flow monitoring or pressure monitoring. If both signals are displayed, it proves that there is indeed a fire. According to such signal prompts, the equipment will automatically supply water and extinguish the fire. These two startup methods cannot start the device faster, but can effectively ensure that the pipeline network does not burst.

In short, the starting method of the fire hydrant pump is not arbitrary, and it must be operated according to relevant regulations and instructions. Only in this way can its effects be more quickly and accurately exerted, while ensuring safety.
