Fire Pump Controller Upgrade in Sunshine
Melbourne’s west keeps us busy. This job in Sunshine was another familiar story: a Welling & Crossley fire pump controller that had done its time, on a pump set that otherwise had plenty of life left in it. Replacing the controller — not the whole set — saved the owner a substantial amount of money.
Controller Out, SmartGen In
We swapped the old unit for a SmartGen fire pump controller manufactured by Melfire here in Melbourne. The new controller was programmed for the site’s start and stop pressures, wired to the existing sensing lines and alarm outputs, and put through its paces: automatic starts on pressure drop, manual starts, battery changeover, and every failure mode the standard asks for.
The Bigger Picture
A controller replacement is often the single highest-value repair on an older pump set — it restores AS 2941 compliance and reliability at a fraction of the cost of a new packaged set. We always assess the whole system first and tell you straight what’s worth keeping.
