For years I've had to listen to my pump system manufacturer tell me that their systems work great without pressure tanks.

Your alternative is high pressure swings or wasted energy.

Correctly sizing a fire protection tank is critical to meeting NFPA 22 standards and ensuring adequate water availability during an emergency.

Engineers must consider factors like the occupancy hazard classification, distance from municipal water sources, and pump capacity. Always consult local fire codes and AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction) when finalizing specs.
