Historical data shows that when traditional sprinklers fail in the home, it’s because the system is shut off (59%) or due to lack of maintenance (10%).
Automist's maintenance procedure replicates a full response to a fire. So unlike a traditional domestic sprinkler service, we don’t just complete a series of checks, we run the pump for approximately 1 minute, as it would in a fire. A shield is provided to collect the water in a bucket, so the process is quick and will not cause any mess.
Servicing is a vital requirement to ensure any active fire suppression system will perform as expected in the event it is called upon to do so. The British Standard recommends that a fire system be serviced by a competent person on a regular basis, no less than once every 12 months. Register your product for an annual reminder.
Depending on the use of the property, there could be a legal requirement for the system to be serviced on an ongoing basis. If you are a landlord, as an example, you must ensure you do this under The Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order (England and Wales) or The Fire Safety Regulations (Scotland).
