A pump flow test system for accurately measuring the aggregate fluid flow from all pumps of a fire truck. The inventive device includes a reservoir structure for storing a volume of fluid, an intake manifold having a plurality of intake inlets extending into the reservoir structure, an elongate tube extending into the reservoir structure from the intake manifold, a pitot tube positioned within the elongate tube for measuring fluid flow, and a meter attached to the pitot tube for displaying the water flow through the elongate tube. The elongate tube preferably has a cap and a perforated portion for allowing even distribution of the incoming water into the reservoir structure. In use, an intake hose is positioned within the reservoir structure for drawing water into the pumps of the fire truck. A plurality of dispensing hoses are connected to the pump of the fire truck and to the intake inlets of the intake manifold for delivering the water from the pumps of the fire truck to the reservoir structure.
