A Self-Testing and Self-Setting residential fire pump system for residential fire protection. The system is designed to boost pressure into a residential sprinkler system when water supply is insufficient to meet the sprinkler system's design requirements. The system comprises an in-line vertical multi-stage, centrifugal pump connected to an electric motor with horsepower ranges from ¾ to 10, a flow rate range of 15 gpm-200 gpm, and pressure ranges of 20 psi-238 psi. The system also comprises a controller assembly which is programmed to Self-Test and Self-Calibrate to most residential fire sprinkler systems with the push of a button, and a manifold made from brass or stainless steel pipe fittings connected to the pump's suction and discharge ports, allowing water to flow from an existing water supply through the pump to either the test loop or existing residential fire sprinkler system. The pump and controller can be mounted on an ABS base.
