A reliable fire suppression system requires constant pressure. A jockey pump is a small, electric-driven pump designed to maintain the pressure within a fire sprinkler or hydrant system. It works by compensating for minor pressure drops caused by leaks or thermal expansion, preventing the much larger, more powerful main fire pump from activating unnecessarily.

Key Features:

• Pressure Maintenance: Keeps the system at a constant, ready-state pressure.
• Cost & Energy Efficient: Saves energy and reduces wear and tear on the main fire pump by handling minor pressure losses.
• Compact Design: Small footprint for easy integration into existing pump rooms.
• Automatic Operation: The pump controller automatically turns the jockey pump on and off based on pre-set pressure thresholds.
• Quiet Operation: Designed for quiet, unobtrusive performance.

Why it’s Crucial: Without a jockey pump, even a small leak would cause a significant pressure drop, triggering the main fire pump. This not only consumes a large amount of energy but also puts unnecessary stress on the entire system.
