Yeah, you are looking at possibly a 180,000 gallon tank or bigger if you
are supposed to take care of site fire flow.

Omigosh, yes. Have you checked the fire code requirement for fire flow
yet? Required flow x reduction factor for sprinklers x duration in
hours = reserve volume. What size and construction type is the
building and what reduction will the serving fire department offer for
sprinklers? 50% is the most popular, I think ...

Subject: Sizing tanks with hydrants?
When sizing a water storage tank feeding a fire pump for a new facility
with multiple sprinkler systems and fire hydrants, do you have to
include any type of allowance for the hydrants? The tank will be the
sole source of supply for all (rural area). There will be no hose
stations or standpipes, only interior sprinkler systems - OH Group II
with monitored alarms.
Typically this would be an 18,000 gallon tank minimum (.20x1500x60
mins). I don't see anywhere that requires this, just making sure.
Thank you in advance.
