How the Fire Jockey Pump Works
The Fire Jockey Pump is a vertical, multi-stage centrifugal pump designed for pressure maintenance in firefighting systems. It works alongside the main fire pump by providing low-flow, high-pressure output to keep the system pressurized during non-fire conditions, preventing unnecessary cycling of the primary pump. Typically sized for 1% of the main pump’s flow and 10–20 PSI higher pressure, Ruhrpumpen’s VSE-type jockey pump features a stainless steel impeller and a heavy-duty cast iron base and motor bracket for reliable, long-lasting performance.
