Automist vs Alternatives – comparing the different fire suppression solutions

Many of us are familiar with the appearance and functionality of a traditional fire sprinkler. Although they can work well, they are often unpopular in homes: homeowners are concerned about the possibility of water damage, large tanks, and a need to upgrade the water supply. Automist Smartscan Hydra offers an innovative solution to these challenges:

Fit for purpose: It is especially important to activate at the earliest opportunity when protecting the vulnerable to minimise smoke buildup. Automist can address a fire up to two minutes before a traditional sprinkler can. It uses water mist to fight even the most challenging liquid, oil, gas and electrical fires. As small droplets are entrained into the fire plume, it is effective even for difficult concealed fires, like white goods fires.

Water supply: Automist uses only 6 litres per minute (lpm), which is lower than the flow rate from a power shower. The water demand is so low that it can be linked to an existing water supply. The project eliminates communal works, the need for a water supply pipe upgrade or the need for construction of large tanks.

Multi-domestic approach: Instead of a centralised residential system with its own tank/pump room, each system is self-contained within a flat or a floor. The retrofit of individual dwellings can be done on a need-or-availability basis without the need to disrupt collectively all occupants. Installation can take place as part of refurbishment or maintenance work. Many of us are familiar with the appearance and functionality of a traditional fire sprinkler.
