My fireflow report shows fireflow nodes failing due to low pressure at the suction side of a pump. What can I do about this?
If you are not concerned about this, you can create a special "low pressure" zone and select that as the zone for the node in question. This way, it will not be considered in the automated fireflow analysis (unless you select to have a minimum system pressure constraint.) However, you may want to make sure the reservoir elevation upstream of the pump is correct and that the pump intake pressure meets the minimum NPSH requirements.
