The correct term for pumps

Let say there is three pumps i.e. duty pump, standby pump and jockey pump. All the pumps are for a sprinkler system. Which of the following the correct term:

1. Sprinkler pump set
2. Sprinkler pumps set
3. Sprinkler pump sets
4. Sprinkler pumpset
5. Sprinkler pumpsets

As you can see above, I am confused on whether to put 's' or not and whether there is space between the word pump and set.

Thanks & Regards,
Khairil
