What's Included in Your Los Angeles Fire Pump Test

Annual testing, flow and churn testing, NFPA 25 documentation, diesel fire pump testing, inspection and certification — handled in one visit for commercial and multi-family buildings across Los Angeles County.

Annual Fire Pump Test

The annual fire pump test is the full-performance test LAFD Chief's Regulation 4 requires each year. Technicians confirm the pump starts automatically on a pressure drop, run it through no-flow and full-flow conditions, record suction and discharge pressures and engine or motor readings, and document everything on the report filed for you with The Compliance Engine (Brycer).

Fire Pump Flow Test & Churn Test

A churn test is the no-flow test that confirms the pump starts and holds pressure at shutoff. The annual flow test moves water through calibrated flow-measuring equipment — a hose monster and playpipe arrangement on the test header, or an inline flow meter where one is installed — to capture pressure and GPM at churn, 100% and 150% of rated capacity. Those points are plotted against the manufacturer's pump curve to show whether the pump still performs as designed.

NFPA 25 Fire Pump Testing

NFPA 25 is the national standard LAFD inspectors reference for the inspection, testing and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems. It sets the weekly or monthly no-flow test interval, the annual full-flow test, and the data that has to be recorded for each. Every test we perform is documented to NFPA 25 so the paperwork holds up at inspection.

Diesel Fire Pump Testing

Diesel-driven pumps need everything an electric pump does plus engine-specific checks: battery condition and charger operation, fuel level and quality, cooling loop, exhaust, and a timed run up to operating temperature. If the test turns up a fuel, controller or engine problem, diesel fuel polishing and controller diagnostics are available through our Ace Fire LA field partner.

Fire Pump Inspection & Certification

The inspection covers more than the pump run: pump room condition, controller, jockey pump, suction and discharge valves, gauges and relief valve are all checked. Once the system passes you receive a certified report documenting compliance, submitted directly to Brycer so the LAFD record updates without you chasing paperwork.

Los Angeles Fire Pump Testing FAQ

How often is fire pump testing required in Los Angeles?

Answer: Fire pump testing is required annually (every 12 months) per LAFD Chief's Regulation 4 and NFPA 25 standards to ensure the pump can meet system demand during a fire.

What is the penalty for missing a Reg 4 test?

Answer: Missing a Regulation 4 test can result in a "Notice of Violation" from the Fire Marshall, potentially leading to fines starting at $10,000+ and orders to vacate the building if safety systems are deemed non-operational.

What is a "Churn" test vs. a "Flow" test?

Answer: A fire pump churn test is a weekly or monthly no-flow test that runs the pump to ensure the engine starts and holds pressure. The Annual Flow Test (which we perform) involves flowing water to measure pressure and gallon-per-minute (GPM) performance at 100% and 150% capacity.

What equipment do you use for a fire pump flow test?

Answer: Flow readings are taken with calibrated flow-measuring equipment — typically a hose monster and playpipe arrangement on the test header, or an inline flow meter where the system has one installed. Readings are recorded at churn, 100% and 150% of rated capacity and compared against the pump's original performance curve.

How is diesel fire pump testing different from electric?

Answer: A diesel fire pump test includes the same flow and pressure measurements as an electric pump, plus engine checks: batteries and charger, fuel level and quality, cooling loop, exhaust, and a timed run to operating temperature. Diesel units also have their own weekly run-test requirement under NFPA 25.

What does an NFPA 25 fire pump inspection include?

Answer: An NFPA 25 fire pump inspection covers the pump room and its equipment, not just the pump: controller and alarm status, jockey pump operation, suction and discharge valve positions, gauge readings, relief valve condition, and any visible corrosion or leakage. Findings are recorded on the report filed for your building.

Do I get a fire pump certification document after the test?

Answer: Yes. You receive a preliminary 24-Hour Compliance Status Report immediately after the test, followed by the certified report documenting the results, which we submit directly to The Compliance Engine (Brycer) for the LAFD record.

How much does fire pump testing cost in Los Angeles?

Answer: Cost depends on the pump type (electric or diesel), its rated capacity, whether a test header or inline flow meter is available, and the access conditions in the pump room. Send us the building details and we return a written quote within 24 hours.

What if my pump fails the test?

Answer: If deficiencies are found, we provide a detailed report and a fair quote for repairs. Our goal is to resolve issues quickly so you can avoid LAFD non-compliance penalties.
