The Vacuum Test (paragraph 3.2 on page 20) is intended as the initial check to determine if a
pump leaks. This test quickly and safely indicates if a leak exists however it typically ONLY indi-
cates a leak is present and usually does NOT locate the leak (or leaks). If a pump fails the Vacu-
um Test utilize the Pressure Test (paragraph 3.3 on page 22) to locate the leak (or leaks).
3.1.
Repair Verification Operations
Perform the following steps when a repair is completed to verify the pump is functional. This pro-
cedure is performed by pumping from a hydrant to ensure a clean, high quality water source and
to eliminate the risk of pump damage that could occur from an extended priming period which
could result from attempting to draft with an unverified pump.
NOTES
Refer to department procedures for setting wheel chocks and laying out suction and
discharge hoses.
All valves, drain cocks, and caps should be closed.
