- Discuss the part of fire pump testing missed many times which, leads to most fire pump tests (even those indicating they are meeting NFPA 25 requirements) not meeting the intent and full requirements.
- Discuss the confusion over churn testing requirements and frequencies.
- Discuss the real reasons pumps tests are not in compliance so many times.
- Discuss the tolerance/accuracy requirements for fire protection equipment.
