It seems like this could be done in a similar fashion to a 200lb system acceptance test.
We have small water pumps that can get the system up to 200 on a gauge connection. Fill with water, then connect small pump to top off pressure. No need to get a large pumper out there.

As per NFPA 25(2011) 6.3.2 there is a 5 year requirement for the hydrostatic pressure test of dry standpipes. We are looking at the possibility of utilizing a Fire Truck (pumper) to complete this test. Has anyone else done this? Opinions?
