Looking after your water sustainability with Peerless FireConnect®


When it comes to life safety equipment, sustainability and efficiency are rarely considered to be particularly important features. This is because, when you’re dealing with fire protection systems pressurised by fire pumps, the question “will the system work when we absolutely need it to” tends to be what matters most. Everything beyond that is considered ancillary, and is often forgotten.

While it may not be at the top of your mind when it comes to fire protection systems, water sustainability and energy efficiency can be achieved with relatively little effort, especially on older installations. Even though fire protection systems have historically been ignored for sustainability, many Facility Managers and Environmental Health & Safety Managers will have their own sustainability goals that they are working towards to make their facilities more “green”. Peerless FireConnect® has proven that it can help facilities worldwide to save millions of gallons of water by using the power of distance monitoring and data analysis.

CASE STUDY

A business innovation campus had been monitoring their fire pump system with Peerless FireConnect® for over a year. In addition to the market leading data and information that Peerless FireConnect® provided with regard to the fire pump system on campus, Peerless FireConnect® showed that leaky pipes and valves were the root cause for losing 1000’s of gallons of water per day, causing a significant environmental challenge for the otherwise very “green” facility.

Peerless FireConnect® made the site aware that their jockey pump was running over 70 times per day, for an average of 2 ½ minutes, demonstrating a significant leak in their piping. Historically, jockey pumps are rarely if ever monitored and visibility into total flowing water time is hardly ever reviewed. However, with the Peerless FireConnect® dashboard bringing this data to the forefront, it became clear that the system had an issue and hence, caused the facility to act. The result was the discovery of a very large pipe leak which has since been corrected.

Thanks to Peerless FireConnect®, this facility will save an incredible 1.1 million gallons of water per year and has cut their jockey pump starts from 70 times per day to just 2, saving a significant amount of electrical energy in the process.

Why not book your site survey today to see how Peerless FireConnect® can help you achieve your water sustainability goals?!
