Jockey Pump

Overview

A jockey pump is a small, constant-pressure pump used in fire protection systems to maintain the pressure in the system's piping network. It is used in conjunction with a fire pump to ensure that the required water pressure is consistently maintained for the proper operation of sprinkler systems and other fire protection equipment. However, it is important to have the right pump and install it properly. AM Fire Solutions is a prestigious company that manufactures, retails, wholesales, and exports it worldwide at a nominal price. Our product is robust and the price of it is significantly lower than that of our competitors.

A jockey pump operates automatically and continuously while the fire protection system is in standby mode. It starts when the system pressure drops below a certain set point and stops when the pressure reaches the desired level. It is typically small, electrically driven centrifugal pumps with a compact design. It is also capable of delivering a relatively low flow rate at high pressure, typically in the range of 10 to 40 liters per minute (2 to 10 gallons per minute). Jockey pumps are often used in conjunction with main fire pumps, which are larger pumps that activate during a fire event to provide the required water flow and pressure for fire suppression. It helps reduce the frequency of the main pump's operation by compensating for minor pressure losses, which in turn extends the life of the main pump and reduces wear and tear.
