Fire pump and plumbing

Hi all,

Seems like a good time to review the firepump at the moment!

We have an older Briggs and Stratton 5hp - Onga pump - it's the yellow one from about 2000.

In the ground, we have a bunch of 32mm pipe with fire hose reels at each end of the building. I'm currently tracking down and repairing leaks (there are a few!)

Will the Onga drive this adequately, or should I be looking for a higher pressure pump?
