Abstract: In a fluid flow network including a centrifugal pump, a system and kit for monitoring said centrifugal pump and relieving the pump of fluid when the pump is operating at no-flow conditions. The system comprises a fluid conduit connected to the pump, at least one sensor for indicating when the pump is operating at no-flow conditions. The sensor is selected from the group consisting of: temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and motor current sensors. The system has a fluid control means located in the fluid conduit. An electric snap-action valve is included that has an inlet connected to the fluid conduit and an outlet and a diaphragm. The diaphragm is movable between a first position and a second position. A power supply is included.

Abstract: An automated or manually operated portable pump house for producing water pressure includes a portable housing structure, a fire pump positioned within the housing structure, a fire pump driver operably coupled to the fire pump, means for controlling the fire pump driver operably coupled to the fire pump driver, a pressure control pump positioned within the housing structure, means for controlling the pressure control pump operably coupled to the pressure control pump, means for electrical power generation positioned within the housing structure, and means for automatically detecting and reporting a status condition to an external location.
