Primary water pressure tanks should be equipped with what kind of alarm systems?

Primary water pressure tanks should indeed be equipped with high and low alarm systems. This is because monitoring the water pressure is crucial for the operational efficiency and safety of the sprinkler systems. High alarms alert operators when pressure exceeds the normal range, which can indicate potential system failures or leaks that may result in water loss or damage. Conversely, low alarms indicate that the water pressure has dropped below acceptable levels, which can jeopardize the functionality of the sprinkler system and its ability to provide adequate fire protection.

The dual nature of these alarms—high and low—ensures that the system remains within its operational parameters and allows for timely interventions. This setup supports the reliability of water delivery in an emergency situation, ensuring that the system performs when needed most.

Thus, having both thresholds monitored helps maintain the integrity of the water pressure and facilitates prompt action to maintain sprinkler system readiness.
