How Automist® Works

How Automist protects your property from fire and water damage.

STEP 1

In the event of a fire, the system is triggered automatically by a ceiling-mounted smoke sensor.

STEP 2

Automist’s sprayheads will scan the room to look for temperature changes indicating a fire.

STEP 3

If danger is detected, the pipes are filled with water and the best-positioned sprayhead targets the fire.

STEP 4

Watermist cools the fire zone and suppresses the fire, minimising water damage.

Building Regulation 7

States that if the declared performance of a product is suitable for its intended use, the building control body should not prohibit or impede its use.

Servicing Your Automist® System

The British Standard BS9251:2014 (fire sprinklers) and BS8458:2015 (water mist) recommends that a fire system is serviced by a competent person on a regular basis. We would suggest this should be done no less than once every 12 months.

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 as there could be serious implications under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 England and Wales or The Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
