Jockey Pump 101

  • A jockey pump is a pressure maintenance pump
  • Jockey pumps serve to keep the water pressure in the pipes within a specific range when there is no fire present, thus preventing the fire pump from going off unnecessarily
  • Because pipes are prone to leakage over time, water pressure tends to decrease. As soon as a jockey pump recognizes this, it fills the pipes back up to their original pressure maintenance point
  • Jockey pumps also prevent sprinkler systems from being damaged once the fire pump starts pumping
  • Here at Jockey Pumps USA, we provide stackable centrifugal multistage Jockey Pumps

Jockey Pump or pressure maintenance/make-up pumps are intended to be used in conjunction with UL/FM fire pumps to maintain system pressure without requiring the fire pump to run. Sizing of the jockey pump is based on an analysis of the type and size of the system. As an example, a fire protection system with a large amount of underground piping would generally require a larger capacity jockey pump to make-up for NFPA24 allowable leakage. A "Rule of Thumb" which has been used to size jockey pumps is 1% of rated GPM flow of the associated fire pump with a pressure equivalent to approximately churn the pressure of the associated fire pump with less supply pressure. Another recommendation is to select a pump that will make up the allowable leakage rate in 10 minutes or 1GPM, whichever is larger.
