There was a TIA 2 or 3 editions ago for systems with the BFP on the
discharge of the pump.  Between the loss through the BFP checks and the
hammer between the pump chv and the BFP, they allowed for moving it there.
It's correct and moreover better, also OK to combine them from the same
system tap (assuming the JP is also before the BFP).

I saw a pump recently with the sensing line installed on the system side of
the backflow.
What is the reason for installing on the system, rather than the city side
of the backflow?
Am I correct that it should be on the city side?
