One thing that hasn't been mentioned, centrifugal fire pumps have to operate
with positive suction head. So if you are going to use the pool as a water
source the suction flange on the pump has to be at or below the intake level
in the pool. With a typical in ground pool that means at least 8' below the
water level of the pool. So your looking at a basement or pump pit
arrangement which is another cost to consider.

Sorry Rod I thought I read hotel somewhere. In any case the draining of
the pool for maintenance would constitute no sprinkler protection.
