Wellhouse - Pressure Pump

The pump I use in my wellhouse is a Gould J15S

Pump Spec Gould-J15S 

The fire sprinkler system requires 26.34 GPM @ 46.203 PSI in the basement at the base of the riser.  The base of the riser is about 20 feet above the pump in the wellhouse.  Extrapolating from the spec table it looks like the official spec of the Gould J15S pump in my wellhouse is about 25.6 GPM @ 46.203 PSI, which is hopefully within allowable tolerance on the sprinkler test.
