| Low suction alarm? Low suction valve? A low pressure alarm is just an alarm or supervisory alarm. No impact to the fire pump system as it will run to destruction. A low suction valve will restrict the discharge to limit water flow rate to prevent a low suction situation. The fire pump system (including a diesel driver) will only see lesser water flow. I hope this helps. Feel free to call me to discuss further.
