FAQ's

Will the system need to be serviced?

Yes.

Building Control Friendly

Building Control and Local Authorities are starting to accept watermist as a viable alternative more frequently, with some often giving favour to watermist rather than sprinklers. This is due to ongoing validation and performance testing, widespread acceptance of the new performance technology and lower structural requirements for buildings, as there are no large reinforcement works required to manage the weight of large water tanks. Also, considering that smoke alarms statistically only save lives in just over 50% of activations, watermist is a fully viable addition to your life safety and protection within your property.

Like all new advancements in life safety, watermist systems should be fully tested against the British Standard BS8458:2015. This shows the performance of the system is as it should be and fully certified. While validation reports are available for some systems on the market, the most reliable source of performance validation is for a full British Standard test report from an independent third party testing facility.

Can water mist nozzles get clogged in hard water areas?

Hard water is water that has high mineral content and is largely made up of calcium and magnesium carbonates, bicarbonates and sulphates. These deposits normally occur where there is water flow. The mist systems water is static and held at low pressure therefore deposits do not occur at the nozzles.
