What Type of Water Supply Will be Required?

The policies of water companies regarding domestic and residential fire sprinkler supply vary greatly, and our knowledge in this area allows us to provide recommendations based on current trends. However, due to the high flow rates required by conventional sprinkler systems, it is unusual to be able to adapt an existing water supply into a conventional retrofit household fire sprinkler system. In most cases, the decision is between a new water supply and a storage system. However, High-Pressure Mist systems are designed to be fed by a standard 22mm domestic supply.

The cost of a fire sprinkler storage system is frequently less than the cost and disturbance of delivering a new supply for a retrofit installation. Most household fire sprinkler systems for new build properties can be run straight from the town mains supply if the provision is made early enough in the construction phase.
