Operation Principle
The system monitors water pressure via a pressure or flow switch.
When pressure falls below the threshold, the jockey pump starts automatically. If pressure continues to drop, the main pump is activated to maintain flow. In the event of failure, the standby pump automatically engages. Once normal pressure is restored, the pumps stop sequentially.
