Is the GC aware of the additional expense of 1) the electrical requirements, and 2) the additional maintenance expense to the owner, for a pump? Just curious. -----Original Message----- From: Joel Chaim [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 04, 2011 11:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Design solution needed
Im designing a system for a small restaurant, the kitchen is a OH-I occupancy, and the dining area is a LH occupancy, the available static pressure is 106 psi residual 62 psi with 751 gpm. My problem is that the incoming service is a 1¼, and to bring in a larger service is very expensive because of utilities and other obstruction thats in the way, the GC suggested that we put in a tank and booster pump, to me it sounds crazy to install a tank and pump for a building thats less than 4000 sq. ft. when you have available city pressure. Any ideas how to go about this, please advise.
