Jockey Pump Control

Hubbell's Model LX-600 Jockey Pump Controllers are intended for across-the-line starting of squirrel cage motors up to 10 hp at 200/208V, up to 15 hp at 220/240V, and up to 25 hp at 440/480V.  Larger hp sizes are available, consult factory.  For single phase jockey pump applications, 1/3 hp through 3/4 hp, Hubbell has the LX-601 Jockey Pump Controller.  Both controllers are for fire protection system applications where it is desirable to maintain uniform system water pressure by the use of an automatic pressure maintenance pump.

Model LX-600 & LX-601 Jockey Pump Controllers serve over-all system efficiency by detecting minor fire protection water system leakage.  By bringing jockey or make-up pumps on line, they maintain pressure within set point limits without unnecessary cycling of the main fire pump.
