Vasundhara Performance Solutions is the authorised Hyderabad supplier for HD Fire jockey pumps — small high-pressure pumps engineered for fire-system pressure maintenance. 25-75 lpm at 8-12 bar (higher pressure than main fire pumps so jockey starts first on small pressure drops). Per IS 12469 — required component of any code-compliant fire-pump installation alongside electric + diesel main pumps. Pan-India dispatch + installation + AMC.

Smaller jockey pump for moderate-size installations. 25 lpm at 10 bar discharge pressure. 3-5 HP electric motor. Automatic-start on pressure drop of 0.5-1 bar; cuts out at full pressure. For commercial buildings + small industrial installations.
Mid-size jockey pump — the workhorse for typical industrial + commercial installations. 50 lpm at 10 bar. 5 HP. Pressure top-up rate sufficient to handle moderate diurnal pressure variations + minor leak top-up without main-pump cut-in.
Larger jockey pump for high-rise + refinery installations. 75 lpm at 12 bar (higher pressure for high-rise vertical-column maintenance). 7.5 HP. Used where system volume + leak rate exceed smaller jockey-pump capacity.
Automatic-start control panel for jockey pump — pressure switch + starter + alarm output. Cuts main pump cycling on small pressure fluctuations. Required component of jockey-pump installation.
Pressure tank (typically 250-500 litre capacity) installed downstream of jockey pump — buffers small pressure fluctuations + reduces jockey-pump cycling frequency. Optional but recommended for installations with frequent small leaks.
Annual maintenance contract for jockey pump — preventive servicing + breakdown response + spare parts coverage. Lower-cost AMC than main pumps; jockey pumps see less duty but need regular inspection.
Standard property values across the range. TDS / MSDS / per-batch COA available on enquiry.

Common questions from MEP consultants + fire-protection installation buyers sourcing HD Fire jockey pumps through Vasundhara.
Jockey pump maintains the fire-protection system's standby pressure (typically 7-9 bar). Small leaks + diurnal pressure variations cause system pressure to drop slowly — the jockey pump (higher discharge pressure than main pump) starts first on pressure drop, tops up pressure, and cuts out automatically. Main electric + diesel pumps stay off until a real fire event causes larger pressure drop. Without jockey pump, main pumps would cycle on/off constantly + wear out prematurely.
Pressure switches are set so jockey starts at slightly higher pressure than main pump cut-in. This ensures jockey handles small pressure variations FIRST. If main pump set higher than jockey, main pump cycles constantly + jockey never operates → wasted capital + premature wear. Typical setting: jockey starts at 8 bar; main pump starts at 6 bar; full system pressure 10 bar.
Jockey capacity must exceed normal leak-rate + diurnal variation but be small enough that it can't sustain real fire flow (would prevent main pumps from starting). Typical sizing: jockey capacity = 1-3% of main pump capacity, but minimum 25 lpm. Verify by leak-rate test on existing installation; for new installations, use IS 12469 default (typically 50 lpm jockey for installations with main pump up to 2,500 lpm).
Not recommended. Jockey pump is designed to work alongside main electric + diesel pumps — its small capacity won't sustain real fire flow. Installations requiring only jockey-type pressure-maintenance (very small systems, equipment cooling water) should use general-purpose centrifugal pumps. Real fire-protection installations need the full electric + diesel + jockey cascade per IS 12469.
10-15 years with proper maintenance — monthly run-time check + annual preventive servicing + 5-yearly major overhaul. Jockey pumps see frequent start-stop cycles but short run times — wear is primarily on starter contacts + pressure switches. Lower duty than main pumps; lower replacement frequency.
Standard HD Fire jockey pumps are 415V 3-phase (matching commercial + industrial electrical infrastructure). Smaller single-phase variants (3 HP / 220 V) available on special order for smaller installations — typical lead time 8-12 weeks. Most installations have 3-phase supply available.
Basic AMC for jockey pumps: annual preventive servicing + minor parts (starter contacts, pressure switches, gaskets). Bundled with main fire-pump AMC for cost-effective fleet management. Typical AMC cost: 4-8% of jockey-pump value per year.
