Jockey Pump: Maintaining Consistent Pressure & Protecting Your System

A jockey pump is a small, high-pressure pump designed to maintain consistent pressure within a water system, typically used in conjunction with a larger main pump. It acts as a pressure booster and safeguards against pressure fluctuations, ensuring a reliable and steady water supply. Unlike larger pumps that cycle on and off frequently, the jockey pump continuously monitors and adjusts pressure, preventing water hammer and extending the lifespan of your entire system.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Consistent Water Pressure: Eliminates annoying pressure fluctuations and ensures a stable water supply for consistent performance of showers, faucets, and appliances.
• Extended Pump Lifespan: By preventing abrupt pressure changes, the jockey pump significantly reduces stress on the main pump, leading to increased longevity and reduced maintenance costs.
• Protection Against Water Hammer: Water hammer, caused by sudden pressure changes, can damage pipes and fittings. The jockey pump's continuous operation minimizes this risk, preserving the integrity of your plumbing system.
• Energy Efficiency: While constantly running, jockey pumps consume significantly less energy than constantly cycling larger pumps, resulting in lower electricity bills.
• Compact & Quiet Operation: Designed for easy installation in confined spaces, these pumps operate quietly, minimizing noise disruption.
• Automatic Operation: Equipped with a pressure switch that automatically activates and adjusts the pump's operation to maintain the desired pressure level. No manual intervention is required.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials for long-lasting performance and reliability, even under demanding conditions.
• Easy Installation & Maintenance: Simple to install and integrate into existing systems, with readily accessible components for easy maintenance and repairs.
• Various Models Available: Different models cater to varying system demands, offering a range of pressure capacities and flow rates to suit individual needs. Consider your water system's requirements and select the appropriate model.

Applications:

• Residential Water Systems: Ideal for maintaining consistent water pressure in homes, especially those with multiple fixtures or located in areas with fluctuating water pressure.
• Commercial Buildings: Ensures a reliable water supply for offices, shops, and other commercial establishments.
• Irrigation Systems: Helps maintain even pressure across irrigation lines, leading to more efficient water distribution.
• Fire Protection Systems: Maintains pressure within fire suppression systems, ensuring readiness for emergencies.
