Jockey Pump Supplier for Fire Protection Systems Across the Philippines

A jockey pump is a small-capacity pump that holds a fire protection system at its set pressure between demands on the main fire pump. Pipe joints, valve packing, and sprinkler heads lose a small amount of pressure over time even when no fire event is occurring. Without a jockey pump, that gradual pressure drop would force the main fire pump to start and stop on minor leakage instead of genuine fire demand, which shortens the main pump's service life and can mask a real alarm condition. The jockey pump is set to cut in at a pressure slightly below the main pump's start point and cut out once system pressure is restored, so the main fire pump only starts when actual flow is being drawn from the system. This makes the jockey pump a small piece of equipment with an outsized role in keeping a fire protection system compliant and dependable. Philippine fire protection installations built to NFPA 20 expect a jockey pump as a standard part of the pump room, not an optional extra, alongside the main fire pump and the fire reserve tank that feeds it.

JOHOB Hardware Trading supplies jockey pumps as part of its Pumping and Pressure Systems category, which also covers booster, transfer, and submersible pumps along with VFD duplex control panels for building water and fire systems. For jockey pump duty specifically, this includes the pump itself, a control panel sized to the jockey pump's start and stop pressure settings, and the piping, fittings, and accessories needed to tie it into the fire pump room, including stainless steel flexible hose and ball or gate valves. Control panels can be specified as VFD, SDE, or star-delta configurations depending on the pump size and the project's electrical scope, sourced through JOHOB's panel line that includes Inovance and Chutian components. Where a project also needs a fire reserve tank or sprinkler kit, JOHOB supplies these under the same Fire Protection category, and where the project needs a modular water storage tank, JOHOB's sister brand TankSmith handles the FRP, GRP, HDG, or stainless steel tank package. This lets a contractor or facilities team source the jockey pump, its control panel, its fittings, and the tank that feeds it from one supplier relationship instead of coordinating multiple vendors across the fire pump room.

Equipment supplied under JOHOB's jockey pump packages carries documentation buyers can hand directly to their fire safety consultant or building official. Pumps and associated equipment are sourced from an ISO 9001 certified partner factory, meaning the manufacturing process itself operates under an audited quality management system, not just a one-time product test. Electrical scope, including control panels, carries CE marking. Pressure-related components carry ASME certification where applicable to the equipment type. Equipment is also TUV SUD tested. JOHOB provides these certificates and test documentation alongside the equipment at handover, and can supply them in advance of purchase for projects that need to submit documentation to a fire safety consultant, building official, or insurer before an order is placed. JOHOB does not claim PCAB licensing or accreditation for its supply operations. What is represented is equipment sourced from certified manufacturing and tested to the standards listed above, backed by local warranty and after-sales support in the Philippines.

JOHOB delivers jockey pump equipment nationwide, covering Metro Manila, the rest of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, including projects inside PEZA, SBMA, and Clark economic zones. Standard lead time is 21 to 35 days for ex-stock configurations and 45 to 90 days for made-to-order equipment, so the applicable timeline depends on whether the specified pump size and control panel configuration is a stock item or needs to be built to the project's exact specification. VAT-registered buyers are charged the standard 12% VAT. Buyers registered with PEZA or SBMA, and registered exporters, qualify for zero-VAT treatment on the purchase. Pricing is quote-based and is not published, since jockey pump packages vary by flow and head requirement, control panel configuration, and whether the order includes the fire reserve tank or is pump equipment only. JOHOB responds to a request for quotation within 1 business day, with the initial response confirming the information needed to size the jockey pump correctly, including the main fire pump's rated flow and the system's required maintained pressure.

To request a jockey pump quote, submit the main fire pump's rated flow and pressure, the number of storeys or the building type the system protects, and whether the project falls inside a PEZA, SBMA, or Clark zone for VAT purposes. JOHOB responds within 1 business day with a quotation that separates the jockey pump, its control panel, and any fittings or reserve tank capacity the project also needs, so the buyer can see each line item rather than a single bundled figure. Buyers who already have an NFPA 20 fire protection package quoted elsewhere can request the jockey pump and control panel alone, sized against the main pump specification already selected. For new construction, hospital, hotel, and PEZA or SBMA-registered facility projects, JOHOB can quote the jockey pump as part of a complete fire protection package covering the fire reserve tank, main fire pump, and jockey pump together.
