A jockey pump is not required on systems utilizing a fire pump, however, due to their relative simplicity, jockey pumps are the most common method used to maintain system pressure. Since jockey pumps are not required to be listed, any pump capable of producing necessary pressure is acceptable. When/Why do You Need a Jockey Fire Pump? To start with, you won't need any jockey pump on all systems. According to NFPA 20, pressure maintenance or jockey pumps should be used where it is essential to maintain a uniform or high water pressure on the fire protection system. A fire pump then sends more water through the pipes to put out the fire. During this process, a jockey pump keeps the water pressure within a specific range, to protect the sprinkler system. If you're unsure what fire protection system your building needs, Palcon has you covered. Fire fighting water pumps can be powered by either petrol or diesel. Diesel engine fire fighting pumps are an industrial duty pump with a longer pump life, more durable and with higher torque which are generally used in industrial applications. Diesel engine pumps are generally more expensive to buy than petrol pumps. In pump sizing, two factors are needed to select a pump: flow and pressure. Flow is generally measured in gallons per minute (gpm). The max instantaneous flow that will be entering the pump's basin needs to be determined so that a pumP can be selected to efficiently maintain the system. The equation EP = NP + FL + APP + ELEV is the basic equation every pump operator needs to calculate when operating the fire pump. Today, many pump panels have flow meters that allow the pump operator to match the readout on the pump panel with the gallon-per-minute (gpm) flow of the selected nozzle.
