ABSTRACT:
A packaged hydro-pneumatic pumpset system in which a plurality of pumps JI, M2, M3 are brought into operation sequentially as water pressure in the system drops below pre-set values. The system includes an accumulator 6 for storing water to maintain pressure in the system when the pumps are not operating and a prime is maintained on the pumps by means of a footvalve in the suction pipe inlet. The system also includes a second accumulator 9, which is connected to the first and which is arranged, when the pumps are inoperative, to maintain a reservoir of stored pressurized water in the suction manifold.
