Together with hose reel tank and pump, the sprinkler tank and pump are also located in the fire tank room. The tank is made of reinforced concrete and has a nominal capacity of 344.4 m3 and effective capacity of 218 m3. The water level is also displayed through an indicator outside of the tank. The water from sprinkler tank is also pumped by two sets of electric motor driven pumps. Besides that, a jockey pump is also used to maintain pressure in piping system at a high level so that a pressure drop can be sensed automatically when fire sprinkler is activated, then activating fire pumps.
